Not the most exciting game of football you'll ever see was it?

Wigan though Martinez brought an identity to the club on the pitch, Coyle has ripped that to shreds hasn't he?

Everything but the goals. Seems to be a mental thing at this stage. Brilliant forward but not such a good striker. Ideally suited to a front three.

If we combined RVP's finishing with welbecks all round game we'd have a slightly worse RVP

if he perfected that turn and run, with a shot at goal, he'd become a better player than Drogba imo. Unfortunately, it's also my opinion that he never will.

Spot on.

He's such an effective player, regardless of the fact that he's not an instinctive goalscorer.

He's very good in a front-three where he can play wide of the central striker, hug the touchline and also drop deep and come inside. This was highlighted perfectly in the games against Madrid last season where they couldn't handle him.

Obviously clueless £#%&!wits will point and scream about his goalscoring record, but it's not the be-all and end-all of his game, ffs. I'd wager it's the same type of £#%&!wits that took 6 years to understand what Carrick does for the team.

"Valencia was shite again, at the game I was at" etc etc
