Time to shop at Morrison?

Could Ravel Morrison be the answer to our lack of ability at breaking down defences? My pal Matt spent ten minutes berating me on our walk to the Black Lion after the Watford game, claiming Morrison wasn't anywhere near ready. I'm not so sure. Morrison has just scored twice for the Development Squad. If he really is as good as Paul Scholes and Gazza were at 19 then surely he could come on for the last half hour of games to unlock defences? Admittedly, he's only played three times as a sub in the Carling Cup for Man United, but we've played with ten men recently and got by. Yes, it's putting a lot of pressure on him, but if Ravel is good enough then he's old enough.

Berating is putting it a bit strong, I was just suggesting BFS is not the type of manager to throw an untried teenager into a tense promotion battle, however promising he may be. If Ravel plays for even 2 minutes at Elland Road I shall switch to Maldon Gold next time we visit the Black Lion...

Maybe I meant a typical lively discussion between two great tactical minds, the best since Lyall and Greenwood. Think you may be right about Big Sam as he's now saying it's too much pressure on Ravel in the Mirror today
