Couple of goals he scored on 1.3 mins. Looks very pacy and they both look like the same goals !!

Same goal mirrored

Looks powerful and quick.

How long ago was this?

Too right he wouldn't want to read it, hope we don't have another hot head on our hands like Cisse.

I am a bit concerned about his disciplinary record. Hopefully MH can keep this under control. As well as being sent off in the match above, he came back from suspension for the quarter finals of the African National Cup and I believe he was also booked in the quarters.

Mali are playing Ivory Coast today so he has the chance to kick a couple of Chelsea and Man City players....

anyone know when's the game on as it would be good to see how he competes with a good standard opposition?

7 pm GMT on Eurosport.

The booking in the second game was ridiculously soft.

Well he did not look that special against Gabon to be honest.

I don't think he was playing.

[DeepcutHoop]

I don't think he was playing.

Yes he was, and zuluop is correct, but then nor did anyone, it was an awful game to watch, both teams very nervous.

He made a few surging runs, and drew a foul each time, a useful skill in itself!

I thought he was suspended...or was that the game before?
