I thought playing him today was the wrong decision.

Mancienne plays better when he's told to stay on a man, like Gerrard for example. Today, i thought he was very poor.

If he wants to make it as a midfielder he has to learn that if the ball is in the air you don't have to head it - he never seems to take the ball down and retain possession but head it and give it away.

One of their goals today, he had the chance about thirty seconds before they scored to take it down but headed it and let them have it back which in turn gave them momentum again.

Guedioura looked decent when he came on - i hope we see him in the Mancienne role on Wednesday if Mick persists with the current formation.

Mancienne is a central defender he should be in the team playing there MM foks everyone about and wonders why there off form.Our defence is shocking,Berra was 100% at fault for the first goal. my back four.

FOLEY .......MANCIENNE.......ZUBAR........WARD

he doesn't want to make it as a midfielder thats the point. He is a centre back but Mick won't play him in his position - a bit like other players I could mention!

I have to agree with several posts here.. hes a defender, not a midfield player same as foley.. its not like we havnt got midfield players, and yes i do think they are better than mac/fol in that position..
Also think Mac was not the only one guilty of the hoof and air tennis, seems to be part of our tactics, for the last 10 games or so, hit high and hope, we can all see its like saying here have the ball back and have another go, but can MM?
I do believe we are capable of decent passes on the ground, just we dont get any practice at it...

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO START PLAYING FOOTBALL ON THE GROUND AS YESTERDAY THE BALL WAS IN THE AIR MOST OF TIME STILL THEY GAVE IT GOOD GO JUST DONT SEEM TO GET AN LUCK AT ALL ;;I HATE THAT PHILIPS HE DOES IT TO US ALL THE TIME ROTTON SWINE WOLVES V SPURS 3 2

ward?--is that so bentley can run at him from 50yds & then be allowed to cross--if berra(which he was)at fault for first goal then ward was definitely at fault for 2nd

Mancienne was tried as a CD but was sh*te, the covering midfield roll he has been playing of late has suited him and the team. I'd take the gamble and rest him Wednesday - like i said, Guedioura for me!

Agree 100% Foley for RB.

Dead right i was going to say ward only because he was slightly better than steerman,and
that position would be one for priority signing.
