Out of all the players we lost when Cas last got relegated, Manu is the only player i have kept an interest in, we have a great team at the moment, but i wish we still had manu, he is an awesome player, and one i hope will play for cas again in the future, look after him, he is quality, and a good bloke.

Which is what we will do if he starts the game IMO, we have used this tactic before to good effect.

He is much fitter this year than he has been before. Thats why he is lasting a full game, personally I would take him off just before HT, and give him some rest.

He is much better when he starts but I agree a rest somewhere either side of HT would be the best way to use him.

5/10 mins before and after half time would be ideal, give roughly 35/40 mins rest time, thats plenty of rest.

but just before half time is when opponents are tired is a great time for him to be on. Id prefer him on the pitch when teams are at their most fatigued
