Watching City: the ball just sticks to their players.
When Silva, Nasri, Toure, even Milner have it, they don't get shrugged off it easily. It's firmly in their possession.
Too many of our players do: On the pitch today Kagawa, Welbeck, Mata to some extent; the ball doesn't stick when they have it.
Van Persie and Januzaj are about the only two who when they have the ball, you can look away from the screen, knowing that when you look back they wont have lost it or failed to pass it off.
And the less said about or centre midfielders the better, really.
I've always been of the opinion that it's a severe lack of proper footballers here. And half of the technical players we do have are complete lightweights.
Which is why I never blamed Moyes fully. There's not a manager on earth who can make this side win in style without a couple of midfielders at least.
