I hate to repeat yet again but I have watched Orel Mangala turn in some pretty decent performances in the #8 role, for my local side for three seasons.

The lad can absolutely play further forward, if needed.
I think we'll see him do just that against United

I guess Mangala was rested yesterday because he’s on 4 yellows…smart
I think it’s more to do with Mangala not being a very direct player. He’s tidy but doesn’t really have the same forward drive that others seem to have. Granted he’s pushed forward with style twice recently but I don’t think it’s his natural game.

That is where you would be incorrect.

I’ve watched him play three seasons as a more attacking #8. He can absolutely play that way.

Well we’ll have to see it here then because he comes across as a very tidy David Batty type at the moment. Perhaps that’s what Cooper wanted when we kept passing it straight to the opposition but I’m yet to be convinced on his driving or incisive attacking quality so far. But I do like him and before he arrived he was the one I liked the look of from my YouTube scouting!
