Yup, a perfect summation Billy. And not just technical quality, but sheer power as well. We have somehow acquired a selection of small, non-tackling lightweights in midfield, who are easily bullied off the ball. The dippers couldn't do that to Ya Ya on Sunday, and nor could they prevent Fernandinho then tucking in to his right to snuff the threat of Coutinho out. Without him last night it was a fucking car crash with vast gaps between Silva, Kun and our two 8 stone touchline huggers.

Yours and Billy's posts just about sums it all up for me. It's amazing how many people scapegoat him, then see us without him, and ask themselves "why did we ask for that" ? Hey hum.

The thing is that we can't play without him, but when we play with him people say he contributes little. The reality is that we haven't been able to win without him for 5 years now. Management knows this and that's why we've been linked with Pogba for so long. In fact, I'm shocked we didn't go for Kondogbia too.

The only other player we have that can drop deep for the ball, pass under pressure AND run with it at his feet.......is Nasri. Silva can do it, but if he does it then that gives the entire opposition defence time to reorganize and slows us down. Nasri has been a bigger miss than we realize
 
Probably easier to compare performances a little bit closer together, like the two this week when we had almost identical sides out.

Oh I get it, it doesn't fit in with your story so lets just all forget about it, haha!!

Stop talking sense .
 
The difference between the two League games and the Cup Final was that the whole side physically fought Liverpool at Wembley. Have you all forgotten that? Liverpool humiliated us at home with Toure. It would have been worse had Toure played this week at Anfield.

The side was dead on its feet as it was. Put Toure in there, it would have been worse not better.
