To be fair when he has played he was usually covering for a flaky defence but yes he was giving away a lot of possession. I still prefer him to Januzaj though.
Win for me. They are not playing well and their win over Palace was a pantomime. No Fairy Godmothers in our team please.
-------------------Pickford--------------- Jones-----Kone-------Papy-----PVA-- -------------------Kirchoff----------------- ------------N'Dong----Larsson--------- ---Khazri-------------------Anichebe--- ------------------Defoe------------------ Fancy a win tomorrow, ha way the lads.
We had a discussion at the last match around N'Dong needing a good foundation around him to allow him to grow and play - a solid defence who can break down attacks and start off a passing counter rather than a hoof - I think the same is true for both Khazri and Januzaj. What really narks me with both of them is if they lose the ball they 'pretend' to track back, running slower than they can walk to try and fool people! They both need to get some fire in their bellies and compete and earn the right to play. If Januzaj can fulfill his potential he will be top drawer, but at this point I'm not convinced he's got the determination to do it. I think Khazri has the same issue - maybe he needs to feel the love from Moyse a bit more cause he's shown he's got the ability.
Good point that. Khazri maybe try a bit harder but not really convincing. Likely to pick a frustration card as much as anything.

From the Moyes quotes today he's travelling ( hopefully on the bench ) but not ready to start. Hopefully just mind games and he's 100% to go - hope he's biting his hand 3 times or more as he runs to Moyes in celebration.
-------------------Pickford--------------- Jones-----Kone-------Papy-----PVA-- -------------------Kirchoff----------------- ------------N'Dong-----Denayer-------- ---Larsson-------------------Anichebe--- ------------------Defoe------------------ I think something like that. Can`t see Khazri getting a start.
We aren't great but we are improving and in good shape. They are ****ing awful. It's the kind of game we usually **** up but I think we look really tidy, even in losing to Liverpool we contained them, and I think we will pinch this. 0-6 and 14th. Oí oiiiiii.
I Agree, we are beginning to play more like a team and need everyone to play their part and defend when needed. With Kirchhoff back we should be able to control the midfield a bit more than we have been. Moyes obviously likes Januzaj so hopefully he can get the lad to play and work a bit harder. Also agree that Moyes needs to help Khazri regain his form from last season, if he does not start the next few games then maybe Moyes has plans to off load him.
We've recently had a couple of the sort of games that we should win but usually **** up and we've won them quite convincingly so I'm thinking Swansea will be another. A hell of a lot of success in football especially towards the lower ends of the table is about psychology and ours is very solid at the moment. I imagine that normally when other teams are due to play us they think "well they're **** so no worries" but we carry enough threat that even the best sides must be careful. Swansea are far from the best.
