Partly that is down to the total lack of mobility in our midfield, and especially up front, but he can't escape the blame totally. He needs to run with the bloody ball and make something of it himself.

Selling to Sunderland would be a woeful decision, however. Excellent choice..... let's get rid of another midfielder just like we did with Malbranque and Tainio. Much as I lament his lack of ability very many times, shipping him out any time soon will not make things any better.

The times I've seen us play without him in the side we've been even worse! Didn't believe that was possible.

Agree with you. He did have a good game yesterday and he showed his frustration many times, when he had possession and there was no movement off the ball.
Despite him having a good game and throwing himself into some very hard tackles, the guy standing next to be gave JJ grief throughout the match. uke:
Some fans dislike JJ so much, they appear blind to the amount of ball that passes through him. Just by this amount of involvement in the game will result in a few missed over hit passes by JJ.
He is still getting in the England squad!!!!We don't have many of them anymore, under this regime!!
