He also was more of a threat, albeit he could have taken on his man more, especially as he was on a yellow. Our problem wasn't Nemane, it was not attacking the spaces in the centre that we created, but rather continuing to recycle from wing to wing.
Completely agree.
I admit that I don’t think he’s raised his levels the same as some of our other players, but just having his pace on the pitch leaves space for others.
That was also the case against Mansfield. They doubled up on Nemane down the right but left Austin 1v1 down the left.
He’s still the first choice for me.
What doesn’t help him is being compared to Jones who, I feel, is playing two levels below his ability.
