Alex Mcleish has come out today to explain his reasons for dropping N'Zogbia against Wigan. I don't think he really needed to explain why he was dropped, his performances have been shocking so far this season.
Here is what Mcleish said:
"He understood. There is big competition now.
"Charles has been very exciting in a lot of the games, it's just been his final ball.
"Maybe Roberto (Martinez) gave him more of a free rein and not checking back which made him a bit more dangerous at Wigan.
"But he is learning that side of the game as well which is important.
"I see Nani, Damien Duff and all the top wingers doing it."
The Scot says he wants N'Zogbia to work even harder and track back defensively, although he is mindful of wearing him out.
"Charles is explosive although we need to be mindful of not tiring him out having to run back all the time,"
"We've got to get the ball to him more and he is working on his delivery whether a shot at goal or a cross into the box or a one-two.
"These are the little things where he is not quite at his level yet."
Not too sure why he used Damien Duff as an example of a top winger but you get the idea...
