Ok he's not shit, that was too strong a word to use, and I agree it's no disgrace not to get into that Barca team (Fabregas).

I don't think we miss Song at all though. I just wish we had a decent holding midfielder because Arteta is not the answer.

Song isn't the greatest player we've ever had but he was a solid all round midfielder. Liked to put his foot in and also join in (very effectively) with the attacks.

Compare Ramzi and Song and it's a no contest.

We are single handedly ensuring the mystique of the Cup.

Coincidence?

Not only that, he was the only physical presence we had in midfield.
100 tackles, 66 interceptions and 73 fouls in the league goes a long way toward breaking up the opponent's play.

He could also play at centreback do not forget.

It's fine to question his quality, but I don't think you can really question his influence. Had we replaced him we wouldn't be missing him now. But we didn't, so we do.

We miss RVP, we don't miss Song. Song in our current team would create fuck all.

And as I said, he wasn't only about providing bullets.

Not only are not creating chances this year, we are at times conceding the majority of the possession.

Everything is connected.

Well you need to post the possession stats with and without Song so we can compare them.

I seem to remember us being very exposed last season and the season before with Song as the holding midfielder.

Can't believe this. Was thinking of going to this as assumed tickets would be cheaper than normal.

Absolute pisstakers they really are.

Song never played as a defensive midfielder.

Who said he did?
