Thought he was much improved from Leeds. Very solid, and complimented Karacan very well.

agree with both of the above - did his job very well and worked with Jem well. interesting, might be the holding midfielder we've needed for some time

Leigertwood was fine I'm more concerned about what happened with Jems game, worst I've ever seen him play

Karacan strikes me as a nearly player. One who almost has the attributes to go a long long way, but isn't quite going to get there because it doesn't all quite hang together.

He's a little headless chicken with his passing and running. I'm not sure he's big, strong or calm enough to be a good proper defensive midfielder. I don't think his passing, shooting or heading is good enough to be a creative or box to box midfielder.

Look forward to seeing Leigterwood when the match is up, I'm hoping to see a big improvement from the last game based on the comments from you lot.

It's caught on here. That's good enough for me :D

PS It's a perfect nickname for him.

He's still young, let's not forget.

But I just about prefer Tabb, who is also tenacious, but can dribble with the ball, has better passing ability and has got goals in the past

Considering their size could we get dispensation from the FA to play Tabb & Karacan counting as one player?

Not a criticism of him this season at all Brendy. He's consistently been one of our best players. I just don't think he's got what it takes to be a regular, over several seasons, in a team challenging at the top. Certainly not in a 4-4-2 without an absolutely storming quality partner.

There's just something about him that isn't there for me. I like him though.

Emotions and opinions make a change from statistics sometimes.

stats are interesting, when they are relevant, well presented and used as an indicator for forming an opinion only.

So agreed, if stats were that important Deep Thought would be masterminding Utd to another title this season.
