    interesting article mate, i dont disagree with it either tbh, but, this bit made me laugh, not the best analogy....

    'Say you were a nightclub owner and your regular barman (Kevin Mirallas) has broken his arm and will be unable to serve; if you stuck your bouncer there, would it be fair to expect him to execute his task to the highest quality?'

    well most of us have said it hes not a wide midfielder, which brings me to ask how come a manager on big wages thinks he is ? i feel sorry for him really, give him a chance in behind jelavic and get fellaini back in the centre and be a little more solid defensively, fed up of felli upfront and sick of naismith being out wide, but nothing will change untill moyes finally goes. maybe then we will see some promise from players like naismith and maybe one or two of our youngsters may get a chance.

    im not missing the point naismith isnt even close to being a midfielder, did jelavic get put in midfield ? naismith cant tackle and does not have the pace to play out wide

    Lol....was funny like.

    Get what you are saying about getting players used to the Premier League, but does he need to do it for a full season.

    Does it mean we'll see Mirallas up front next season?

    quite possibly mate, but, it could be with Naismith Moyes doesnt fancy him behind the striker, BUT, why persist in playing him if he knows (and he will know) that he is not suited to playing out wide? Moyes usually has something up hos sleave, he hits a stale patch like every manager over the course of a season, but he finds a way to make it work....
