Everyone misses chances. He - like everyone else - always has. We notice it now because we don't have Henry/Villa/Pedro etc scoring instead. He's our only consistent goal getter.

Only edged for MOTM by Abidal. Had a good game where the chances didn't quite go in. It happens.

Would be pretty funny if they dropped points in this of all games.

Yep. That's the best pass rate in Europe. If anything he's too conservative, but that's definitely the right side to err on for a young player.

I love him. No pointless flash, no fussing about when taking a knock, always just gets on with the game. For a kid his age, in such a key position, in his first real season, he's done absolutely brilliantly.

Part of me hopes we get a couple of bad results and the decision is made for us :/ OTOH I think Europe is weak, RM are our biggest competition there and I'd be very confident of beating them. So I think we can win it even with one eye on the league. IMO we cope reasonably well with Andres...

Letting them score just to make the inevitable defeat even more painful for them, what a champ.

Yeah but everyone needs to perform better away from home. It's a general team issue, not just him. Annoying that right as we start performing well away in Europe our domestic away form goes to hell :(

Halfway through a "poor" season and he has stats that blow almost anyone else's full season stats out the water. He's also on course to achieve his best ever return (yet again). If this is his bad season I can't wait for the next one!

Well yes of course :) And I trust in Pep for that - he's the one who's kept Messi almost totally injury free. And again, he just had a winter break..how can he be tired?

It would be inhuman if he were playing like the English, at full pelt all the time, but he doesn't. He walks around half the time - often more. And he's just had a holiday. The only clear indication that a player is playing too much is that they start getting injured a lot. Since that hasn't...

Don't forget Scotty Parker, the greatest midfielder ever!

Never ceases to amaze me how much the English can overrate their players. Unmitigated disaster at centre back, positionally at sea at right back, but hey, he runs around a lot in midfield and can run with the ball, so he must be the next Duncan Edwards. Not to say he isn't talented - he's...
