I think we're missing a number 10 and full backs more. With no real number 10, McArthur is having to spend a lot more time getting up to support Benteke rather than sitting alongside Cabaye. It's great when it works (first half v Liverpool) but also very bad when it doesn't because Punch/Ledley don't have the mobility to cover the same amount of ground (see again first half v Liverpool). The combination of McArthur and Cabaye was very effective at shutting teams down last year, but we haven't seen that this season. Full back is an obvious area of weakness. Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

For the past year or so a lot of fans have been dismissive of the Jedi suggesting he wasn't good enough for the Palace, a lot of the comments where very disrespectful. Now he's gone he's a great guy and we should never have sold him.

Jedinak almost notoriously seems to take quite a few games to settle back into things, being in and out of the side didn't help him under Pardew. I believe he was getting back to his best at the tail end of last season where I thought he was MOTM in the semi and final in the FA Cup, AND I thought he was our best player in the defeat to West Brom this season. I think Pardew simply just didn't understand Jedinak's game, last year he was trying to fit Jedinak into the same role as the injured McArthur, which was bizarre.

I think Jedi is not better than our starting XI midfielders - no way. However, as others have pointed out, he IS better than our back-up/bench midfielders. I wonder what the point averages are when Ledley (I rate Ledley btw) or Mutch are in the team? [Link]

I think the trio of McArthur, Cabaye and Puncheon was wonderful for that period, whether we're doing something fundamentally different to that or teams have learned to counter it, something is not right. Also we do need more of a plan b and Jedinak could have been part of that plan. The thing I can see that's different is that this season McArthur has been really pushed forward to support Benteke. Cabaye's stats indicate he's doing ok but for whatever reason teams still seem to walk right through our midfield. Pushing McArthur so far forward might be giving Benteke more support up front and also making us into a better pressing team but it comes at the expense of not having McArthur back alongside Cabaye.

I can't argue with you because I have not done the sums. I will check though as it seems a little odd to me. He rarely played in the first half of last season when we did well but when it all went wrong he came in and steadied the ship. Stats cannot be argued with but they don't always tell the true story.
