He needs to iron out his pass selection but that will come soon. Looks a fantastic modern day Centre Back.

I actually think his passing is one of the better aspects of his game. He is very intelligent on the ball and makes good choices.

Re: Mangala

Those that saw the game, how did he and Demichelis look together ? Does it look like a partnership we can rely on ?

Thanks, good its something we'll need this year, I only asked because I don't imagine I will see much of either on the highlights show on BBC.

Re: Mangala

As he develops, could he perhaps move up from CB to succeed Yaya in midfield?

From what I've seen, I've already said he's too good for his present position. I'm fully expecting him to playa more aadvanced role in seasons to come.

Re: Mangala

we beat them 7-0 and they had been playing 10 men since 54-65' so it's not the level we should test Mangala-Demich couple

In general, it looked solid. There was one shaky moment early on when Mangala lost his man due to poor communication between them. Both had a few stray passes that better teams might have punished us for.

Neither looked like they had to cover for mistakes by the other. Both grew more assured as the game went on, though it's hard to say as Sheffield got fatigued and quit after the 2nd goal. I think it would work in most home games.
