Glad he's back. Beyond irritated that we're waiting til at least January for a playmaker, but doesn't make me any less happy with this one.
 
We should be terrifying on the counter attack now. Imagine an attacking 4 of Lennon, Del, Barkley and Rom running at you.

We'll have to imagine it because we'll never see it. On the rare occasion Martinez goes for two wingers at once who exactly is going to play the ball forward quickly to spring the counter? Barry and McCarthy will look to play the pass for about ten seconds before dropping it backwards to the full back to curl aimlessly up the line or for Howard to good long. Repeat ad nauseam and hope for a 0-0.

Dare I say it but Darron Gibson is the only man we have with a quick enough eye to see the passes for them.
