I think it is time to stop with the Mix experiments. He is one of the best players on our team and he's proven not to be a great wing player. He needs to take Jacobson's position next to Pirlo. If Jacobson was sitting back, destroying attacks, and really adding some grit to our midfield, I'd agree that we could use him in our midfield. The longer he plays next to Pirlo though, the more he moves forward and the less he plays D. He doesn't really impact a game in anyway for us anymore.
I also think Tommy Mac is losing his shine a little bit. When things are going well for us, he seems to be able to get into the right places at the right times, but when we are having trouble building the attack, he's had a rough go of it. This is two games in a row now that I can't think of many positive contributions from his play.
As for the positives, Frank really did look disappointed in our performance. Maybe he cares about a little more than a paycheck?
