I'd have preferred Alfa-male. And yeah, he's quality, shame about the rest of our football though, that said...Spurs have made it difficult for us.

:lol: Yeah. They have, but that just shows a little problem with the midfield, Spurs haven't really packed it, nor do they have the greatest pairing in the world in there, Kranjcar is decent enough, but the other lad, well I've no clue about him. You'd want a little more from Anderson and Cleverley, perhaps bring in Carrick to sacrifice Welbeck, or, preferably, Pogba bringing on.

I think it's hard for him when we're so keep on finishing our attacks in 4 passes. The more patient we play the more chances it gives to the central midfielders and this case Cleverley (since he's given the more attacking role of the two) to influence the game.

Can't disagree there, we are hurrying a whole lot but not really getting anything from it. We have a bigger chance of getting a goal or two if we are patient. Having said that, I really like Cleverley but I just don't see the playmaker in him. He's a solid midfielder and doesn't make many mistakes but I fail to see how him and Anderson are going to solve our midfield creativity on a regular basis. Hopefully I'm wrong though.
 
Jones reminds me of Lucio more than anyone else. He's not the best passer of the ball but it's his runs from deep that make him stand out.

You do realize players are playing to instructions from the Manager dont you?. Maybe Cleverley is playing the role of link man, maybe his job is to receive the ball and move it on quickly. From the way he is playing its pretty clear thats exactly what he is doing.
