Sky Sports pundit claims Newcastle man 'frustrated' £80m player over the weekend

Sky Sports pundit Phil Thompson has praised Javier Manquillo for frustrating Wilfried Zaha during Newcastle United’s 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. Manquillo stopped Zaha during the games. Zaha has been linked with a move to Chelsea and is being touted at £80 million. Speaking to Soccer Saturday on Sky Sports, Thompson praised Steve Bruce for the manner in which he set up against Palace. “Bruce said he had to change the system," Thompson told Sky Sports.  "Lejeune has come back in for his first game. Lejeune, Fernandez and Schar playing as a three-man centre-back. You had Dummett on the wide left. "But Manquillo, and this is good tactics, he put him right up against Zaha. He was again frustrated for most of the game. He did alright Zaha, but he negated it. Manquillo deserves a lot there. So does Steve Bruce for doing that." Source- HITC Join us on Telegram!
