I suspect he didn't give it to Ebiowei because Ebiowei would have done bugger all with it, because he wasn't very good. The contrast between Philogene and Ebiowei is spectacular. Both have a tendency to fiddle too much, but at least with the latter you get end product. For me, Greaves has always been pretty positive playing at left back, and joins in attacks when he can. The other advantage of playing him there is it allows Macca back into the side, and gives us a tall and robust back line. The disadvantage, of course, is he doesn't have the pace of full-back so gets caught out.
I did have a whole spiel about Ebiowei’s qualities (or lack of) but deleted it.
Despite how crap he was, it was still the more positive ball. Have it on the wing in the Bristol half with a one on one opportunity or have it with Jones 10 yards outside our box. Mentality on this definitely seems to have changed. You can also add in how many times Greaves went to Philogene or over the top for Delap in the Birmingham game.
