    I cant figure it out really beacause we werent that great against WBA full stop but we defended well as a team for most of the game 2nite. I think it when a ball comes long i cant help but feel that sylvain is costing us a bit. I mean with it his recovery and bare speed i suppose it make up for us but these past 2 games both centre backs have been split easily

    Maybe time to give jonny a few games

    well i would put johnny in for a few games we have looked shaky at the back we give poor goals away against WBA and newcastle, but to be honest jags and disten look exposed and get no protection from midfield when neville is there, get felli back in his best position were struggling in the centre yet we not playing our best central midfielder there, we got players who can play in behind jelavic , get neville out the centre now, i dont mind osman if hes with felli , whats happened to francisco junior obviously moyes dont think hes good enough or ready yet.

    To bes honest if Heitinga was playing we would have probably won. That man is a machine at the back

    Few people need to wise up. Neville had a good game today. Fellaini has been brilliant behind striker. Once Gibson comes back it will help protection of back 4

    Fellaini is sh 1te behind the striker


    Not a clue what people are watching.


    Should be nowhere up there. Stick tk defensive midfield.


    The spot he's taking is a playmaker position.

    Did you see our first goal? Felli's role meant he got the ball and gave it to Vic. He is good behind the striker.

    he's not **** there but im inclined to agree mate, there has to be better options, with him and gibbo infront of the back 4 you can rarely see us getting beat imo.....

    i didnt see the game MOTD doesnt really show the full pic becoz they dont give us the full attention what we deserve alot of the time. I havent watched it yet trying to sober up. I and alot of us would rather see Neville at RB instead of CM but i still think coleman deserves a shot at RB maybe not against swans but that is his preferred place.

     Fellaini being in a holding role was never more apparant than against WBA when all we seemed to do was force the ball to him when in the number 10 role. If he was maybe dropped back he might of been able to pick us a pass instead of lumping it 4ward for the tall CB's of WBA to deal with. It was the same when stoke played us last season we needed to keep it on the floor. We can unlock teams with our passing we are better than most
