Mate, I was talking about the first half. His overall play in the first half was poor. I expect more from him. But other Swans players were awful, so he was together with Oko-Flex and Fulton our bright star in the first half.IMHO Manning's crosses have been our best chance AND his first touch is consistently outstanding
Manning had one excellent cross, one recovery after he'd been dribbled past, one blocked cross, one through-ball, and one clearance in the first half. And, of course, a beauty of a goal.
In this video (Manning's every touch in the first half) you can see overhit crosses and corner-kicks, loss of possesion, backward passing, and leaving the near post when Wigan scored.
