But I'd say Nemane was better than just decent yesterday, I'd say he was our obvious man of the match.

I'd play TAR personally but is he not playing because of a knock/minor injury or has he been dropped?

Either way if Nemane or TAR is your second choice, your back up it says you are in a strong position at RWB.
I wouldn’t say he was our MOTM. He was largely anonymous in the first half and one or two moments he did get on the ball he opted to run into congested areas and lose the ball or fall over. In the second half he twice did what I’m always crying out for him to do…beat his man down the line…and put the ball in. Yes, it created two goals, but they were two moments out of the 90+. He also needlessly gave away the free kick that resulted in the penalty. I’m at risk of sounding like Durham I know, but he worries me a lot when the opposition have the ball, TAR doesn’t.

He is indeed a good back up, especially if he’s in the mood to attack defenders but he is inconsistent in doing so….that’s what we get at this level though I suppose, inconsistency, otherwise he’d be playing further up the pyramid.

I may sound like a broken record, but Palmer was my MOTM again. He nearly always is!
