The thing we miss most about Pienaar is he would make the ball stick in the attacking areas rather than it coming straight back at us. Yeah maybe not a natural winger in his directness but certainly a class wideman.
Next Qu peteO - what the hell do you want in a wide midfielder? You don't like Coleman who is direct and tries to get to the by-line and you don't like Pienaar as he's tricky and he brings other players into the game...
Sorry but I'm a bit bitter, my nans hairdresser is one of the contestents and supposidely he can sing a bit - fair play to him, but that's not helping my nan's barnet, she's beginning to look like Fellaini with her doo!!! Vote him out!!!

I could go on forever... I love a good film!!!
I'm not 100% that Ba was a free transfer and if we were genuinely interested but he's an excellent striker and would have been an excellent signing for us... nevermind, our money is on its way, we'll just get Rossi instead!!!
Money is a huge factor but another thing ruining the game is rules/refs - gone are the days where we can turn a match into a battle as 2 tackles and you're off. Rodwell made 1 slightly late tackle yesterday (from my memory) and got booked - he's affraid to tackle for the rest of the match. Our success in recent years has been built on 'battling' performances and solid foundations. It's hard to do that when honest players can't do that due to these ££££££££ flair players conning refs whenever another player comes within 5 yards. I believe this is a huge reason defenses are so poor this season.
I usually only sit down vs Man.Utd when the game is dead (last yr 3-1!!! ) or at half-time... the frustration around Goodison Park is evident, many fans are nearing the end of their teather and if something doesn't change this season and we have a mid-table/no cup run then another poor Jan/summer transfer window then average attendances are going to be closer to 20k next season than the 40k capacity.
Rodwell for me just ahead of Coleman - the only 2 with any attacking urgency today. Felli was also very good but for different reasons. I hope Heit/Jags get another chance together as we've been very poor at the back and they didn't look a perfect partnership but Rooney (although very deep), Welbeck and Herandez are class trio and they didn't have many opportunities - although it turned out they needed just 1!!!
