Just re-watched the game and wanted to point out some promising things from Neco in his 10 minutes or so of action.
He produced an important clearance, hooking a ball clear when it looked like Atalanta would ruin our clean sheet. On another defensive corner, he won a ball in our area and sent out a beautiful pass to release Mo for what should have been goal 6. Shortly after that, he aniticipated well to intercept a pass on the right, rushed forward and hit a good cross for Mo, who unfortunately slipped as the pass was en route.
All of this came at 5-0, I realize, but I'm encouraged that Neco continues to go for it despite some of the silly criticism he has taken from supporters.
