And how he took it. Not good enough for 10 minutes when losing versus Villa or Newcastle to try to inject some pace and urgency so why did MM bring him on versus the champions? I'd like to know his thought process as to why he has left him on the bench all season until now. Him and Mutch in his advanced role, and Campbell should play every game.
^^^^This. Game changer is an overused expression, but the guy has the potential to do that when things have got a bit stale and need changing. Campbell looked an absolute bargain again with Mutch playing just behind him - something I advocated a few weeks back now.....
Is MM playing mind games. Noone has been inconsistent and MM has commented on his training. It might be he's told him to buck his ideas up if he wants a chance. Yesterday may have been his reward for a better attitude. He certainly added some directness to our attack. MM has a history of bringing people in slowly. Hopefully this is the begining of greater things for Noone. It certainly adds to our options.
