. Catts looks like found his level mind.

To be fair it's the first time in four years he reckons he's been fully fit....will be a massive player for us this season if it lasts and we get someone else alongside him who can also play in a two man CM....gives you so much more up top.
 
He is a holding midfielder. He's tenacious and he can tackle, has energy and is defensive. We bought him after he tightened up the goals against playing for Lorient. He showed that in the few games he played the role last season, the major one being Liverpool IIRC and a few games after he came back from AFCON. He was hung out to dry too often last year by Moyes playing him in an advanced role almost in an attacking sense seemingly because he's quick and has energy so he was expected to put pressure on the opposition, but rarely did anyone close down next to him. It made his role a bit pointless and showed up his lack of ability on the ball on occasions, but again why would you buy a defensive midfielder, then expect him to offer attacking quality?

that'll go right ower most heads on here marra, spot on.

He grew in confidence as the game went on tonight. Hopefully he continues to do so over the next few games. Made a couple of crucial tackles/interceptions in out box towards the end.
