    I know it was just 5 mins and im not gunan jump on the Oviedo band wagon but id like to see him given a chance, the only way that's gunna happen is drop Baines (no chance) or move Pienaar to centre.
    Pienaar isn't far off the age where he's gunna become much less effective out on the wing, Oviedo clearly has pace and a good delivery, if Pienaar was played left centre mid he would still be able to link up with Baines.

    piennar wasnt to effective in centre vs qpr maybe play piennar in behind striker midfield when everyone fit i think would be nice is oviedo felliani gibson miralass with piennar in a free roll behind jelavic would be quite effective, altho i like the way osman links up with piennar and baines difficult but think we got a few nice options when all are fit, my only concern about not playing piennar wide is that him and baines are by far our most effective attacking option and baines isnt really the same player without piennar

    Oviedo did look decent in the small time he was given yesterday.......but seems like he's surprisingly 4th choice for left midfield
    1. Pienaar, 2. Mirallas, 3. Gueye, ......

    certainly looked better than Gueye, but Moyes sees him in training every day.....maybe he's just taking time to settle into english football, or life on merseyside

    but personally i'd leave pienaar on the left......we have a great partnership with Pienaar & baines, i wouldn't tinker with that...

    yeah that's the other point isnt it, when all are fit who do you leave out! Ossie has been very decent this season, yesterday summed up his season so far.
    As you say... nice options all over the pitch should we need to change things - would just like to see Oviedo given a few more chances
