[Niall_Quinn]

For all the "express yourself" bullshit, we don't have a player out there who takes control when things aren't going our way. Remember how Adams used to shout and scream and instruct and drag players around? Coquelin tried that a few times last season but he's not senior enough to pull it off. Merts goes missing in these moments where the momentum swings.
