Edin is big enough to cope with the like of Dunne and Collins - He beat collins to the jump early in the 2nd half.
I get the feeling as a collective that if we cross the ball in stead of working through the middle its a 'waste' of that attack.
We need to mix it up more...Attack with AK down the left or boateng on right, crosses, intricate passing through the middle.
We were very easy to read until until AJ came on.
I also thought both strikers in tevez and edin were wasted in deeper positions on the left. Both interchanged and the threat of the player in the deeper area was lessened.
For me its crying out for this formation.
----------------------Hart-------------
Boateng/Pab----Kolo--------Vinnie------AK
------------------Nige-------------------
---------Milner--------------YAYA----------
------------------Silva---------------------
---------Dzeko---------------Tevez---------
Similar to the way he played at Inter with Ibra and Adriano.
On paper it looks a bit narrow but with fluid movement of silva could provide the width along with the tireless running of Jimmy, complimented with the support of the full backs.
This team would feel way more mobile with Barry out the team who was pretty poor saturday and bottled it against his old team and a hostile crowd.

no right peg
OK, here it comes again: he's born a righty, so how could that be??? He'd be the first triker I've heard of who can only play with his "wrong" foot, not to mention that the goalscoring stats disapproves that nonsense. Feel free to look it up.
Can someone with "no right peg" do this, and do it all every other bloody time, statistically?

Maybe I'm on the wrong thread, but these comments are about Adam Johnson (AJ not ED) !

Shit, my bad... :) I thought "he" was Dzeko, as that's what the comments were about him (as well) at first.
