Midknight, I beg to disagree,I think he was, but was only used sparingly...he made sub appearances - beginning and ending..
Similar to ou U-17 youths, if you want to see quick development, take the best, train them (not lime them) with men for 2 yrs,they would probably just look average, and then observe them when they play with U-19/U20...they usuallyl standout....that is what may have effected the results, if not the performance of our current youth....Muscle use in most sports, depend on a certain amount of stress to develop and improve, and this includes many systems of the body, as long as the stress does not push the system pass the breaking point, which with each person varies, yet most young talented athletes can withstand more than the average athletes...I believe he was talented.....not telling yuh something that yuh doh know, just explaining my reasoning.
on ah side note, ah very happy that Keane has also brought in 2 add. defenders, which will ease the midfield that they can lean a little more towards the attacking aspect, thus giving the forwards slightly more options...that defensive weakness was to me Sunderland most restrictive issue.
