Would be good to see some competition for Taylor

He was a big plus point for us tonight and nice to see somebody confident enough to be able to cut back inside and hit the ball on his weaker foot!

Very unlucky not to score the winner for us!

He did well defensively and the chance was great but gave the ball away so many times. Will settle down though and make himself more time to look up and pick the right pass given the chance

He's still learning and although he did give it away s few times, he won it a few times too. It would have been bedlam had he scored at the end! His performance is snother of tonights plus points.

:lol:

Mutch was probably the pick of the bunch again for me. Hes proving himself to be premiership quality! :ayatollah:

I liked a couple of crosses he put into the box last night?...if we can get the young Dane on the end of them I think our future could be bright. :ayatollah:

Looks a better attacking option than Taylor every time I've seen him. He's got a bright future if he carries on playing the way he does.

Mutch did well, we kept a clean sheet and we were allowed to go home :D

Not quite as good as Taylor yet, but I can see him pushing for a starting role next season. Such a good player for his age.

An FA Cup run would do him good IMO. Shame we don't have any other LBs so he can't go out on loan

I thought Whittingham helped him out a lot

I agree, I think he done very well last night. I wonder about his final ball on times, as I have seen him get into excellent positions and cross it out for a goal kick, I think he has lovely balance and excellent feet. He didn't allow himself to be isolated with Crouch and Stokes attacking threat was none existent down that side. I think he found it difficult when we had the ball on times, as when I have seen him with a outside winger his use of the ball has been much better than last night when we played with an inside winger. He tended to take one touch to many and then closed down his options (although there wasn't umpteen amount of options available).

I have seen today City have been linked with Sevilla left-back Alberto Moreno. Now this lad is a exceptional talent!

Too negative for us.
