yeah wow but aint it a bit worrying tht we hv to rely much on him getting goals

need more goals from attacking mids

Agreed. He's got a good passing ability, but I don't recall him being noteworthy in terms of interceptions, marking, or tackling. If anything his style of play (likes to take on players and adventurous passing) makes it risky to have him in a defensive role in case he concedes possession at the wrong place/time.

Not as risky from a card-collecting point as Fellaini or Scholes, but not a strong defensive player either.

And looking at his performances in Euros and for us this season, it seems playing him as a DM is not ideal.

His best form generally seems to have been since Carrick and Herrera were there to provide defensive cover and he could float in the middle and try to unpick opposing teams.

Surely JM will look to get a DM in the next 6 months, since Carrick is the closest we have to one and he's 35

TFM is good enough..wonder why jm rarely give a chance to him

Lol Soton won

Sometimes, I like to lurk at other club thread to see their reaction on their MOTD.

But Arsenal thread always gives me much laughter, especially Casa vs them.

Hmm, we still got tons of difficult matches
