I think if we brought Owen in on a similar pay as you play deal like we got Saha on, then that'd be shrewd business. I was certain that Saha was simply past it with the injury riddled season's he'd had with Manure previously, but he *somewhat* proved me wrong. Sure he did miss a fair number of games, but those he did play, he's scored some important goals and really displays some genuine skill and flair on the ball as well. If Moyes can do the same with Owen, then why not?

I'm just following the Soccernet gamecast... no subjective commentary as such, but nice and up to date action.

See, now you're just being difficult <_<

There was some good flashes in there yesterday I thought. Granted I thought Lescott was at first for the first goal, but in the case of the other goals, it was definitely a case of us missing Carsley badly. There was no-one sitting in front of the defence to give the centre-backs time to re-organise. I remember watching the replay for the Glen Johnson goal and seeing the gaping space Johnson running into and thinking if this was last season I would've seen Carsley in there. After going 2-0 down, even I could see we needed to reshuffle because Rodwell and Jagielka simply wasn't working in central midfield. Even with our limited bench, I thought a simple reshuffle of our pack would've worked wonders. We had: Howard Neville Yobo Lescott Baines Osman Jagielka Rodwell Arteta Vaughan Yakubu I would've gone to: Howard Neville Yobo Jagielka Lescott Arteta Osman Rodwell Baines Vaughan Yakubu Baines is still able to get in his crosses, and Jagielka is back to doing what I think he does best, marking a striker. Osman is best in centre midfield, as he loves to shoot from the middle. What do we all think?
