Shaun Derry

[Ads1985]

Was great to see him play yesterday. Know many people think he's an old donkey in the middle of the park.

He played some clever passes and won the majority of his challenges, only bad thing was doing a double drag bag just inside their half to give possession away and leave them on the counter.

He organised the CM well telling Faurlin when to sit and when to go. He has to start CM with Faurlin every week as Buszaky cannot play the more defensive side of CM. This was clearly evidenced yesterday. I have never rated Legs and yesterday's showing showed he can shoot, but has the turning circle of a bus and can't pass for love nor money.

His legs have gone.

Lost the ball a lot yesterday and failed to win it back

But is OK when Tarabbt does it ?

[DelTrotter]

Derry's job is to play a simple passing game and to be a ball winner. His passing was bad and he didnt win the ball. Taarabt is a creative player ans his job is to take on players and create chances.

[paulmason]

Wow and that's how you kill a team spirit by creating one rule for one and one rule for the others. Messi tracks back to get the ball back when he looses it, so does Ozil and every other 'creative' player but Two Ball can strut his stuff and not bother when he looses the ball.

[DelTrotter]

so ronaldo tracks back when he loses the ball?

Speechless

Good, then you can stop harping on about Taarabt. You're not his number one fan, we get it.

derry's legs most certainly have not gone. he got around the pitch much faster than mahon ever did.

he is not slow at all. not the fastest, granted - but definatley not as slow as some have said.

If he is better than Mahon then at least we have made a start

3 of the best in the world Ronaldo, Ronaldinho & Robinho do NOT track back. Ozil is not in that class at all.

Derry did look good. I thought legs was good turned one player brilliantly as did Faurlin. Mackie kept running and Dave kept fallin over.

Yes -- Sheff UTd fans were laughing al the way to the bank with that one.
Hopefully we are correct in thinking that Warnock does not particularly rate him.
