Oh Dancing I love proper fans like you. I was praying for a win at Coventry because that would put us only 18 points from safety (I think it might take 52 points this year!)
I agree Tendayi lacks confidence. The trouble is the flip side of that is when Man Utd come after you then you switch to over-confidence ..... and you try too many things. He has energy, pace and skill - and in the modern game you need players who can play in a number of positions. If he were Dutch, Spanish or French I'm convinced they'd see how much he has to work on .....
There's a flip side to Tendayi looks good because of Boco. Boco looks good because of Tendayi (and the team looks better for both of them). I want Tendayi to cut inside defenders, but he needs to bloody shoot. The full back coming inside is vastly more dangerous, because the keeper doesn't know whether he's getting a cross, shot or a pass - an ordinary pulled-back cross is mostly easy-peasy and headers from them are easier to anticipate.
O'Shea is very talented, but isn't part of a team. He can win the game, but not often enough. And Roberts? Well I can't imagine the manager saying to him, "I need you to play left back today!" My only real criticism of him would be that we blunt him by playing him too often. I'd look after him and let him know he's being pampered.
