weirdly, on paper I still think the team is relatively weak but big players are having a really big impact. Steven Taylor is bringing out the best in Dura, Mandi is making Rufer look like the star Hudson said he was and the keeper seems to radiate calm, even though he hasn't had an awful lot to do.
Actually been very impressed with Mandi, has more than covered for the loss of Roly. Was worried he was going to be the type of player to drift in and out of games and only give 10 minute spurts (which Roly also did to be fair) ... but now he has his match fitness up seems to be really relishing in conducting the midfield.
Think he means that having the experience and talent of Mandi next to him is allowing Rufer to shine
Yip I know, just adding my agreement that Mandi has definitely been a huge help/influence in the middle
Oh fair enough! I think he's been fantastic too, think he's relishing playing a much more attacking role than he's used to. Doesn't have a technical weakness it seems
