After kicking off our series of Big Numbers articles with a look at the best performing Defenders over the first three Gameweeks, we now move further up the pitch. This time round we focus on midfielders, with a trio of summer signings all showing plenty of promise in their new surroundings.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Loved Delph tonight. Deserved call up. Refreshing to see.

      Didn't like the way he was so slow to close down that Inler shot in the second half, but overall had an encouraging game.

    I've asked this before (so not bandwagoning with Welbeck), but would you do:

    Terry, Ramsey, Rooney and Dzeko -> Azpicuelta (or other 6.0), Di Maria, Welbeck and Aguero

    for a WC?

      No. I think that's three downgrades to get Aguero in, who has two tough fixtures next.

      That doesn't look too bad at all, and certainly not template.

      It would be hard to kick Ramsey out. Last season he was a gem and only £6.0m. Now at £9.1m, he has to come under tougher scrutiny.

        As do most players. They're few and far between. Can beat the first man, but never a second or third. Either gives the ball away or falls over.

        Everyone slates Michael Carrick for passing the ball backwards/sideways, but sometimes it IS necessary in that deeper role. Wilshere could have benefited from a bit of it tonight.

          Don't think Aguero or Dzeko have shown enough in the past gameweeks to make my team

      Welbeck for one of them if we're being "affordable"

    Now that I think about it, Arsenal were probably the worst club that ManU could sell Welbeck to.
