I wouldn't say Cleverley is pedestrian as his key attribute is that he runs around a lot but Jones is in their to stop Fellaini influencing the game and nothing else.As a result Everton are in control of the midfield BUT as they press forward they are open to the counter and hence it's 2 nil.

Watching the game you wouldn't say any of the scums front players are having a top game but it's 2 nil. Poor from Everton defensively but they are doing exactly what is required.

This is the best they have ever done in the PL at this stage, we shouldn't be this far behind but I believe it's more a case of them taking massive strides forward while we've stumbled.

Without knowing I honestly estimate that more or less all Prem clubs contains about 5-6 boyhood Scum supporters.
Jones is not a very good footballer.
They get 12 pts/season from officials.
They get 12 pts/season from Unitedsupporters making a living as pro footballers in various clubs.
The rest they deserve.
And with the new FFPPL rules this is what it will look like for the forseeble future. Losing intrest in the game TBH.

Phil Neville's attempt to step up and play Persil offside was pathetic. His head's not in the game. Joker.

I think we need to be concerned staying in the top 4 at this rate. We might actually need our crosstown enemy to help us. Were only. 5 points ahead of chelsea and he teams below that seem to be coming into form.

Because whenever they get the ball they don't tika taka it, pass it backwards or Arsenal it to the goal.. They get the ball and swiftly cross or pass it forward to the target man, very simple stuff!

We played a lot of direct stuff to Dzeko yesterday, he was just fucking awful. I think it was the last 15 minutes before he actually won an aerial challenge.

We never get the ball forward fast as they do, fact!! Mancini lost his voice yesterday barking at players to get the ball forward.

Sorry lads. I pressed twice by mistake! Douglas I get your point that Cleverly runs around what I really meant was he's not exactly inspired. They really do have a pretty ordinary midfield with Giggs putting in cameos. It just shows that the Premiership isn't very strong at the moment and there's no excuse for us being so far behind.

I lost count of the number of times Lescott and Garcia launches the ball forward Dunney style yesterday.

100% I agree but energy and straightforward running ability is vital.Rafael isn't a great full back but has tons of energy and runs all day and quickly too. and the french tosser on the other side is similar.

The scum today were almost 100% the opposite of City yesterday.They had a tactical plan which was mostly about defence ,played it very well but with their ability up front and energy and desire to get forward from deep strolled the game 2 nil.

We didn't seem to have a plan,lack enough quality up front,had little desire and no pace.

I cant stand Uncle Fester Wilkins, but he hit the nail on the head saying the rags work ethic won them this game..We were totally opposite of that yesterday. Chelsea are only 4 points behind, we must improve quickly.

Just watched Athletic Bilbao v Espanyol. Biboa had 70:30 posession, 12 or 14 corners to 3, and something similar in terms of shots. result: Bilbao 0 Espanyol 4. ??!!??
