I think you're being very unfair on the one man midfield a.k.a. Djemba Djemba, the new Duncan Edwards a.k.a. Phil Jones, Liam Miller, Rafael and his brother whose name escapes me, Mame Biram Diouf and Ben Foster.Jizzineye, Macheda, Powel, Cleverly, Wellbeck etc etc etc
All "world class" before they slowly realise they aren't and they are shipped off to Sunderland, Cardiff, Villa levels etc
Wasn't even a wondergoal, he had luck with the bobble of the ball that could have gone anywhere and no striker should miss from that range.
Edit: Even forgotten about the other world class one, the one who gives the ball away every 10 seconds and who was taken off at half time
And there is always Bebe who even playing in a cup game v Exeter looked out of his depth
To be fair, he has a few chins it could have come off.haha, cant believe i typed that 8-(
Shin up fella!! :)haha, cant believe i typed that 8-(
Controlled the midfield against who? He's only started 3 league games. I don't think anyone's arguing that he's not good enough to control the game against Anita and Colback, Cork and Shelvey, or even Liverpool without their best central midfielder. Although out of the three games in which he's "controlled the midfield" his team have only won one. The question is whether he can do the same thing against Ramsey, Carzola and Coquelin, Toure, Silva and Fernandinho, or Matic, Mikel and Fabregas. And the bigger question is whether he's actually controlling the midfield or the opponents are happy to let them have the ball. I'm confident that we could allow you the lions share of possession in the derby and still create many more goalscoring chances on the counter than you can passing it around in front of our team. I'm also confident that we could pass rings around you if Pellers wanted to go for that tactic instead.Without sounding like I've got my red tinted specs on, and I'm being totally honest here. I have watched Schweinsteiger this season more than any other player, and he has controlled the midfield in every single game.
Leonardo, one of the all time masters. Got even better when the rags signed him.I think you're being very unfair on the one man midfield a.k.a. Djemba Djemba, the new Duncan Edwards a.k.a. Phil Jones, Liam Miller, Rafael and his brother whose name escapes me, Mame Biram Diouf and Ben Foster.
