Manucho looks decent in the air.

His first touch however - and the lad's link up play from what I saw - didn't.

Must say I noticed his first touch too, amazingly bad . Only one game though, and he looks a real threat in the box..be interesting to see if better players around him ups his performance or not.

Don't think it'll make any difference to his first touch. Looks a raw find tbh, needs a lot of work.

He does look very raw. Seemed to manage to send the ball 6ft up in the air with each first touch . Oh well..at least he doesnt hit it 10 ft out infront of him like Bellion did with his first touch.

I thought this lad was supposed to be quick too?

He is? Certainly doesnt look at all quick..though to be fair he didnt have much chance to show it.

The game was an absolute mess though Just looked like 22 mad men running around the pitch at the speed of light after the ball, going straight through anyone that had it. It also seemed the ball was filled with helium..any time someone touched it seemed to go flying off infront of them or above them.

Keepers are good for a laugh too.

Enjoyed it tbh. Some crazy challenges.

Oh I definitely enjoyed it too.

Just wish Tony Sylva could keep goal against United every week.

Cup of Nations - Group C
17:11 January 30
11' Cameroon 0 - 0 Sudan
11' Egypt 0 - 0 Zambia

tbh I don't really give a £#%&! except for when Manucho plays.

Awful tournament

Take it your vcash was on Senegal

In all seriousness, well over half the players are extremely poor, the pitches are a joke and whole tournament just wouldn’t be like it is if it was played in Europe. God knows what the world cup will be like, it will be shocking imo in terms of transport, hotels, stadiums, organisation, policing.

Playing well so far, lets hope he gets another goal.

Ghana 1-1 Nigeria at half time.

Yakubu, Essien.

Second half should be a good watch.

I see the ACN is as popular as ever

Great effort from Ghana. Won it 2-1 with ten men.
