Is Manu worth a start on Sat?

Tough one. I'd give him a start for an hour see what he can do. Has pace and power even if it's very raw. Something to me says he plays on confidence and a start and a goal may see a run of a few good games from him

No although ball bag can't hit a barn door he works well with Hemed and would imagine would do the same with Murray. Manu just hasn't got the passion for the club apart from wages day.

Give Manu a chance I say, he's earnt a start by playing well in the cup games, it'll show the young players that if you perform then your chance will come.
All this chat about him being offside all the time is stupid people need to have a look at Murray and Hemed who are constantly offside but it doesn't get a mention.
Let's see what the king can do!

No. Loose cannon.

This. Came within a whisker of getting himself sent off when he came on as sub the other week when he kept on mouthing off at the ref. He's totally erratic from what little I've seen of him, and not what we need at this level at all. Starting with Manu IMHO would be an admission of desperation, of not having a credible game plan.

This is a rarity.

Is NSC actually discussing a player who has got better AFTER playing having not really played previously.

And do we have a credible offensive game plan? Murray and Hemed are too similar to play together, Murry needs crosses to thrive and isn't getting them, Baldock can't score goals, Hemed is ok but can't do it on his own - all these points continually expose the need for the striker we failed to get in the window. I think Manu is getting better and better. Ok, he's some way off the finished article but he has pace and muscularity and at a minimum should be allowed to continue his development from the bench until CH thinks he's ready for a start. I think Barnsley is several games too early for him though.

Deserves a chance and gives us something different, Hemed, Baldock and Manu for me, the rest picks its self

No, He can turn on a sixpence and runs fast. He is strong. And his final ball is consistently woeful.

No. The sooner we stop fannying around and stick with what is proven to work (i.e. Skalak, Stephens, Kayal, Knockaert, Baldock and Hemed) the better.

Yes, but upfront. We need the best wingers possible at getting crosses in for Murray to score or knock down for Elvis.
