The real Ravel revealed?
Good to see Ravel Morrison get a couple of goals in the 3-2 win at Sporting Clube de Portugal last night, the second a cracking long range strike. He played 27 times and scored three goals in the Championship for Birmingham last season and made three cup appearances, so he now has a full season behind him. City watchers also praised his work rate after some initial problems with Lee Clark, so it seems like he's maturing as a proper player. And remember he was supposed to be the most gifted player to arrive at Man United since Paul Scholes, so let's hope he fulfils that potential in E13.

My first sight of him was against Hamburg and I was quite impressed, but I am not sure how he will fit into our system. He played on the right of the front three, but he isn't really a winger, and won't be beating the full back and getting crosses in. He is smaller than I thought, and no tackler, and his passing is his real talent. He would probably be best in a 4-2-3-1, as the middle one of the 3 (as arguably Joe Cole would be too), but obviously we don't play like that.
Will be interesting if Sam changes the system to accommodate him. Though last two seasons suggest he won't...
