No being funny Pap but when did he last do that?
Old Trafford last year probably.
Chelsea away was after united. He was good that day too. I actually didn't think he was too bad against Newcastle in the cup. What we need Saturday is him to get hold of the ball for us.
He did well at that against Newcastle. That penalty has clouded the overall judgment of his overall performance on the night in my view. He needs minutes to get back to full sharpness. I'm starting big T on Saturday. Especially if we're 3 at the back and potentially not using out and out wingers.
I think you might be being a bit generous there, he was pretty slow and his touch was not great. He definitely did not have a good game vs Newcastle. He missed another great chance where the ball just bounced off him and then he failed to turn 6 yards out.
I think he needs minutes to have a chance to get back to that level but unless Wood is out there's no way he gets in ahead of him.
