Haha, love this.

McManaman used to be one of my favourite players as a kid/teenager, but his shooting was awful, he had fantastic skill and got into great positions but he only averaged a goal every 7 games, you listen to him talk and you'd think he had an amazing goal scoring record (which he really should have had), but as a commentator he is really frustrating

Unless they're genuinely great at it, and likeable... Commentators/pundits just have a shelve life but too often tv stations don't seem to understand that.

A genius at work.

[Irishnev]

Thought he was brilliant today - his work doubling up on Traore was excellent as was his use of the ball. Keep him and Fab fit and we have a midfield to match anyone

He was brilliant at winning the ball back, interceptions etc. So good.

[Buzzo]

Yeah he’s really bedding in. Was class (again) on Saturday.

I think his off the ball work has massively improved over the last couple of weeks, I think it was lack of rhythm and understanding of the role rather than him possibly being finished like I thought

He doesn't have quick initial pace to smother counter attacks like Gini, but having him on the ball is looking like an upgrade assuming he can stay fit.

[RedReet]

I thought he was our best defender and best attacker on Saturday. He was excellent.

Although, if I'm allowed to be a little harsh, he maybe should have did more with the chance he had.

That is harsh! At the time I was cursing at the tv, but looking back, he had a split second, and got it on target, can’t ask for much more…

Tackles like Scholes though.

I think as long as Fab is in behind, and Hendo along side, it allows him to play his game. Those 3 are almost unstoppable when on form.
