Makoun does look good but I hope there is a little more to his game.  So far he has been finding space, getting the ball and passing it 10 yards after 1 or 2 touches.  Can he hold the ball, drive forward and play a defence splitting pass?

Exactly what Sir Graham is saying on R5...

Excellent passing there.

To describe Makoun as a bit of an upgrade on NRC is an understatement on the evidence so far.

He hasn't attempted a single tackle yet that I can recall.  He's a neat and tidy passer.  A defensive midfielder he isn't.

Quite.  I think I saw Berbatov muscle him off the ball.  But that aside, he wants the ball, is not afraid of it and has an eye for a pass.  Hopefully he'll develop a more physical side to him, just to improve things, but then with a really good enforcer alongside (Bradley?) it may not be needed

we are playing some really good stuff here, against a very strong utd side, lots of possession and movement, really encouraged we could get something out of the game

Coker and Bannan on for Stan and Albrighton, switch to 4-3-3. Do it Ged!

Edit! Leave Albrighton on because Bannan aint on the bench! Plum! Or...Bobby?

Why cant anyone have a fucking go when in front of goal instead of passing it 2 yards and getting tackled?
