If he was just a thug, then he wouldn't have played for Manchester United for so long, he would have been a liability, he could play, and was one of the best box to box midfielders to have played the game. He was physical, but I can't recall other teams, managers and pundits lining up to crucify his thug like tendencies, there's no way a player can survive at that level if their main contribution is to boot people, and it's an insult to his ability to say so. Maybe i'm wrong, maybe i'm forgetting the outrage from Keane's contemporaries over his 'thuggish' behaviour on the pitch, over a sustained period, you'll have to remind me.
I don't love him enough to start him :hehe:
Did OK today.
With the state on our pitch getting a toe in was important- he's good at that.
Heard a grumble when he went to head the ball after Bamba had got a head on it.. he tried to flick it on and I could hear the groans. 20 seconds later Hoilett played a pass short to Bennett (I think) and nothing..
Anyway they all put in a shift.
I liked Feeney today as well.
Thought he played well today.
He’s like the invisible man. Only noticeable when something goes wrong.
Sadly that’s not good enough as we need players who are noticeable for what they can achieve.
If most players deserved a six today he should have been one less.
The win elevated most to seven.
In a matter of 5 days he’s come in at full back and midfield, we’ve won both games snd kept clean sheets. He did what he’s here to do. Filled in and did a decent job. Every squad needs a Greg Halford.
Halford couldn't pass water today
He was solid today. Made some good tackles in midfield.
I wouldn't say he's what I love to go to pay and see for 90 minutes and on the whole that was one of the worst games of football I have ever seen (it was probably the coldest I've ever been too) but Warnock knows what it takes to win and I can't argue with that.
I would have loved to have seen Grujic play today though as I think we would have created more.
Wasn't happy to see him start today but I though he did a good job.
