There will be plenty of times this season where we are under the cosh and need a physical presence at the back, Mangala fits the bill for me. Sure he is not technically brilliant but he strikes me as a confidence player and has stated in the past how highly he rates Pep and so I am sure he would be prepared to learn from him. As a back up option from the bench, covering suspensions or injuries and for cup games i would be happy to see him given his chance.
