On Song : The Premier League's Best Defensive Midfielder ?

Do you see two lovers kissing or Alex Song ?

I've felt it for a while now somewhere in the back of my head.

When Capello recently compared Jack Wilshere with Makele there was a universal shake of the head from fans everywhere. Perhaps more so because you know that comparison was reserved for Song, warranted or not.

In any event, his recent stats have been outstanding. He has only missed 2 premier league matches so far this season and it's been great watching him develop into the player he is now. This year he's been stronger, a much better passer and has also managed to chip in with the odd goal or two. But most importantly, he has been the fulcrum of countless forward moves to Cesc and Nasri.

So some terrible large earmuffs barring, is he really the league's best ? Some numbers might prove useful.

 

The good news is that things are looking skywards for our very own Morgan F, something that is often echoed in how we do as a team. Here are the numbers for his passing accuracy in his last 6 premier league games.

And for all those warm blooded souls bothered by the prospect of not being able to slag him off for getting too far up the pitch, fear not..

Goal machine or our next Centre Back ? Time and Arsene shall tell. In the meantime, our very own jack of all trades continues to do what he does best.
