Bigirimana Has The Passion Marveaux Should Copy!

21 September 2012 12:11
Teenage midfielder Gael Bigirimana put in another gutsy performance for Newcastle last night ... perhaps Sylvain Marveaux should take note.

Bigirimana turned in a mature Europa League display in Madeira last night, while Marveaux showed us everything that was WRONG about that first half performance at Goodison Park on Monday evening.

The 18-year-old, a summer signing from Coventry, was a force in the middle of the field in a 0-0 draw against Maritimo.

Alan Pardew: "He is calm, isn't he?

"There were times when the game got too open, really, for us.

"We were trying to win it and leaving ourselves a bit open, and it was him nine times out of 10 who was shutting the door and then being calm and composed.

"This is a boy who is 18 years old. He has got a great future.

"You could criticise my selection in terms of experienced players here, but these guys, it's massive for them.

"As we go along and we got more options for me in terms of fitness, Bigi is going to play himself into being right in with a sniff even when everybody is back, like he did."
