Those slating Sidwell, he is a combative midfielder. Not Michel Platini. He aint great, he aint shit. And you generally get what you "see on the tin" (sorry I'm tired). Let's stop waiting for him to be the next Frank Lampard eh?

I'm not waiting for him to become the next Frank Lampard.I am waiting for him to contribute something to the side, though. I agree he's not great. I disagree on him being not shit. I think he's a very, very poor footballer indeed.
Sidwell was worse than useless. I wish he'd just leave and we're really short of central midfielders. He could step up and make the position his own but he's not really interested. I dont know whats happened to him since joining us but he's terrible.Anyway, that was stodgy fare. A bit sloppy but, hey ho. We're through.Friedel - 8. Very good.Beye - 5. A liability at left back. A decent right back. I'd have swapped him and...Lichaj - 6. A steady performance.Clark - 8. Class. MotM.Cuellar - 8. Solid and composed.Bannan - 5. Will have better games.Reo Coker - 7. Thank fuck for General Nige.Sidwell - 0. Completely and utterly inept. I am a better player than he is.Albrighton - 5. See Bannan.Young - 7. Typical Ash.Ireland - 6. Early days yet. It will come. Needs more time with the players to click properly.Heskey - 7. Exactly what we needed. He really is motivated at the moment and its good to see.Downing - 8. Injected nous and a bit of class (apart from falling on his arse) and that goal was a cracker.
Ireland, I thought looked quite dangerous for spells.
