Do you seriously want me to go and post all that stupid crap about how fast Keane is AGAIN?
Mina is just going to take a bit of time, he'll be a good player, but right now, his ball skills are terrific and we know how good he is in the air. It's just not the best fit for this particular match. It's a good thing. Much like if Silva had some central midfield options it might look different, but it can't because we have ZERO depth or options.
Think about that - we have ONE central mid on the bench today. ONE! We should have 2 or 3.
BTW, the fact that McCarthy isn't fit enough to make the bench you'd think means he's going on loan somewhere. Maybe he's still far away, but seems to me that he would at least help coming off the bench if he was fit.
