Certainly the last period or so has been brighter, some real pace going, but

at Bale being able to take our entire side on himself. Young and Downing look promising though; our game seems to flow better when it has energy, pace.
Also, if Barry was able to control a midfield or play some decent passes (last run he just did excepted, that was decent), Rooney wouldn't have to keep dropping back to do his job for him. Bring on Scott Parker, someone with an actual footballing IQ.
