    Cahill, Mikel, Cesc and Alonso, none of them are Stan favourites, but none of them are bad players either. I understand Stans frustration regarding aspects of their play, but think a wider perspective is needed.
    Cahill is a top notch PL defender, but not ever one of the greats. Yet he has more than kept his end up for us, and generally well deserved his place.His good work significantly outranks his mistakes I believe. Mikel was unfortunate that in his time at Chelsea he was always played defensively and rarely allowed to show his attacking skills. His trophy cabinet suggests he was also a valuable player for Chelsea. Fabregas is the odd one out here, a hugely talented player who seems to find himself in our team when the style we are playing does not suit his talents well. He will thrive again if he goes to Italy where he will be a better fit.
    Alonso has done brilliantly for us in his first year. Not the finished article ,but played an increasingly influential part as the season has gone on, so much so that he has ensured Dave stays on the "wrong" side of the pitch.
