I can't see that Fletcher would have made any difference to Barcelona's ball retention.
Men against boys!
Can't see it at all, Barca's 1 touch play and passing far too good for United with or without Fletcher.
He also looks bloody awful for Scotland.
You mean like kranjcar! He had a great game yesterday - I think when Modders is back, having kranjcar and JJ in competition for a place will bring out the best in both - Unfortunately neither of them could "replace Palacios" - I think harry should say, look, keep it simple, break up play, get stuck in, and play short passes off to your other MF players, like kranjcar, Modric, jenas to play the 30 yard balls!I still think we need to get a good CM in Jan as we do need someone to come on when either Palacios or JJ is having a day off and I do think yesterday was Palacios's day off, I really thought he was going to get sent off at some point.
He has been our most consistent player since coming back from injury.
Well done JJ!

the 1 in 10 is not a myth! anyway it's been 1 in 20 over the last few years!!lets hope he can push on and put this 1 in 10 myth to bed.

Good luck to him I hope it continues
............since Zokora leftI think 1 in 10 is a myth, yes he has bad games, average games and good games....I would say it's more like out of 10 games - 3 are good - 3 are bad and 4 are average.
He is also scrutinised a hell of a lot more than others by Spurs fans.
I'm late on this one. Reading much of the posts it seems general feeling is JJ has been very good since his return.
I've always supported JJ in various battles, whether against Hudd or DZ.
Thing for me is where was he (Hud too) in our recent big games?? In both the Utd and Chelsea game, he showed little leadership, little movement, little creation. General lack of purposeful play for me, not good enough. Not saying we had a right to win those games, obviously tough games, but our midfield offering was poor.
Would like to see Kranjcar in the middle with Wilson.
