It's never "everyone" but I do recall Mane getting a significant amount of flak in his early days. Would be surprised if it wasn't the majority view at the time. I think the most concerning element of Lyanco's debut for me is that his mistake for their second goal was a completely unforced error. You could understand such a woeful pass if the player was under pressure, but he wasn't. Maybe it was a one off brain-fart and one's concern is unfounded. Who knows. I'm usually one of the last people on here to make snap judgements about managers, players, early season form, etc, so I'll give Lyanco the benefit of the doubt despite these initial concerns.

Our stand-out player tonight according to the BBC Sheffield radio commentary team. Would like to see him feature more in the PL.

I think it's too early to make a definitive judgement. I reckon the rational approach would be to judge him after, say, half a season. (FWIW, my gut feel is that he'll come good)

Cheers 👍

Would it be ok to resurrect this post in 9 months time? I know people often object to people digging up old posts for their comedy value so thought it polite to ask in advance. Cheers

I know this is over-exaggeration but if you squint slightly whilst viewing that video you could almost be fooled into believing you're watching Ronaldo. (Yeah, ridiculous, isn't it) Odds on a cheeky World Cup squad call up this season...? #gettingaheadofoneself

Since November 2006, I've posted 8.84 times per day on average, ergo it would take 56.56 days for me to amass 500 posts. (and, yes, I was indeed sad enough to spend the last 7 minutes working that out )
