What's happened to McNair?

Is he just rusty after having a spell playing in defence, or did we just get carried away by some of his performances at the beginning of the season?

I thought he was dreadful today. So disappointing when he had the ball late on and had time and space and ran it out of play.
 
He looks a bit lost at the moment. In think that switch of position has def unsettled his natural game.
 
Agreed, I thought Woodgate should have taken him off instead of Saville. There was a massive hole between attack and defence which meant they got all the second balls.
 
I'd be tempted to move him back into defence, and bring Tav back into the midfield.

That's what we went with during our good run of form, and I think Tav offered so much, particularly with the way he linked with Fletcher.

Having both McNair and Howson in defence meant we could play the ball out of defence with real confidence, and carry the ball out of defence, and I think we missed that today.

Friend struggled, and seemed to be getting in Coulsons' way at times. Really frustrated me when Coulson laid it off for him and he completely overhit his cross.
 
Too much chopping and changing. He has gone from being nowhere near the squad to the best player in the team only to then be moved around from right wing back to centre half and then back to midfield again.
