Absoloute joy to watch this bloke. He has one of the best football brains I have ever seen. That pass to Frank on Sunday to set him up was nothing short of sublime and no surprise the media hardly mentioned it....They would sooner pick faults and have a go at our hate figures and then completely miss the class Mata shows.
I personally find debates on players salary's completely pointless. I don't think we will ever find out exactly what they earn but even that is irrelevant IMO because their performances are far more important.
Something that is always missed when anyone talks about JT is his ability with both feet. His distribution from defence with long balls at times is quite sensational. All this as well as been a superb defender.
Need to get past Boro first. Not playing too bad under Mowbray but on a pitch that is very poor I can't see this being a total walk in the park. Incidentally my little and his football team are doing the guard of honour for the players on the night
