Probably because he's only just turned 18 (last week) therefore expecting him to start a Prem match is aittle unrealistic?! If we've spent almost £50m on strikers (JSL and Tolu) but still need to pin our hopes on an entirely unproven 18 year old then our problems are genuinely worse than even I have considered! ?

Lets not make the same mistake with Mane that we did with Fabio. let's nurture him and let him grow rather than throw him in at the deep end.

There are a lot of people here blaming everything on Jeff shi. I am not a Jeff shi fan but how can it be his fault that we score after 8 minutes and then think we can sit back and defend the lead for the next 82 minutes? Even at 1-3 down we are playing side to side and backwards with no idea what to do in the final third of the pitch.

That is down to the players and more importantly the instructions they are given to by the manager. I’m watching Millwall v Watford right now - both teams playing fast attacking football trying to create chances at the end of the pitch where you can’t concede a goal. What’s wrong with that tactic?

Last time I looked we'd got rid of all our wingers ! Converted full backs is the best we can do.

Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler spring to mind.
What have we got to lose?

Old Wulf, Jhon Arias, Enso Gonzales and Hwang Hee Chan are wingers. Not very good or fit to play, but still wingers.

Didn't we also get Sutherland, a young lad from Scotland last year? Wandering? He was a L winger I think. Although he maybe lwb in U21s.
If you havnt seen Mane's goal v Arsenal u21 last sat have a look, it's a beauty, but as is wolves they squandered a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2.

We'll have to disagree on that one, Wandering.Enso maybe but as he's young and seemingly perpetually injured I think we can rule him out. As for the other two, they bear nothing in similarity to the likes of Neto, Waggy or even poorer quality versions like Chiquinho. A winger needs to have the basic qualities of being able to beat a player and to cross the ball with a degree of accuracy and I've seen nothing from either to suggest they remotely fit the bill. More central roles suit better but Hwang seems to have completely gone.

I know, hence my last comment about them being not good enough or injured. They are still wingers though.
