I think Ernie's figured it out - if you are going to play Lia and Manny together, who are both defensively decent,
interesting then that Lia played better when Reira came on an allowed him to get forward. Personally I think starting with Manny and Lia is the wrong option - With lia beside him manny has to do all the distribution work which he simp;ly cannot do when he is covering for Siggy charging forward and chasing the ball when Lia passes to the opposition. He needs someone who is able to find Carlos. Or bench manny and let Reira do the hard years first.
Lia was subbed for Reira...............
