Davids has not been properly replaced this season, everyone thought that Appiah could be his replacement, and he might be someday, but someday was definitely not this season. Appiah has had a poor campaign, as has most everyone with the exception of Trezeguet, however, you can see the utter lack of confidence that Appiah has out there. He seems overwhelmed at times, and just because he is constantly running around on the pitch doesn't mean that he is doing his job. It could also mean that he is doing a tererible job of marking, and has torun around all the time simply to make up for his mistakes. I, personally, haven't been tha harsh on Appiah this year because he is still a young player (23) and he has a lot of physical abilities. He needs to learn to play within those abilities. As far as Davids is concerned, well, his play for Barca just shows that the Juve company line that he wasn't "in form" for being the reason that he didn't play was and is an out-and-out lie from the beginning, and that is where I would direct my anger.
