Makoun has already shown that while he often looks like a foul waiting to be committed, he can both win the ball and do something positive with it, and we haven't had a player like that for a while. Writing him off at this stage is ridiculously premature and to do the same to Kyle Walker on the basis of one poor and one below-average game in three months is pathetic.

I've seen extremely scant evidence of his ability to win a ball.

Makoun is going to be a star for us, I reckon.
