before you shoot me down hear me out.............im gutted for ali who has been one of our outstanding performers thus far but i feared the relegation battle pinned on the shoulders of this talented young man was gonna make him or break him......the rest and hopefully speedy recovery will see him back even better im sure of that.......an experienced,premiership quality, midfield partner now alongside barton may actually improve our survival chances........sorry but forget derry/buzz etc both not good enough at this level!

To be honest mate, I agree totally. Great post. To me, he hasn't performed well since the man utd game. He's been good but not his usual self. Absolutely gutted he's injured and wish him a speedy recovery.
