The first 15 minutes was the first time I'd seen him, I've read the mixed reviews of his previous minutes and I was curious as to why he hadn't played more this season (given the injuries and suspensions we've gone through). He honestly couldn't have played any worse if he'd have tried and I was...
Its not an old fashioned view to support your team regardless, it's commendable, but for many of us it was one of the first times we've seen Manu play and the initial impression was "ah, that's why Hughton hasn't been playing him"......did you watch the game?
Neat and looks quite tall. To be fair to the U21's they're playing well tonight, Manu started by looking like he couldn't trap a bag of cement but finished the half strongly. I'd pay to watch this team play.
Ball layed off by Manu to Tilley coming in off the left wing, Tilley carries the ball to the edge of the 6 yard box and lifts it over the on rushing keeper. Very composed finish that our current front two would do well to match!
