Alasana Manneh

[Donegal Hibby]

I was impressed with him today , think the boys a player . Thoughts ?

[Pretty Boy]

I thought it was clear he needs games but he was neat and tidy and can pick a pass.

Excited to see him with a full pre season behind him and a few games under his belt.

Looked a bit lost initially but grew into the game. Position wise looked good with a few cut outs and also looked comfortable on the ball

I thought he looked really comfortable overall considering the amount game time he has had this year

[HendoDelivered]

Looked nervous at the start, think he’s still got the red from the St Mirren in the back of his mind. Grew into it as the game went on and I think with a pre season under his belt he will be a good player with more confidence.

[O'Rourke3]

Was fairly anonymous 25/30 mins trying to work out what to do but looks like he'll be a very decent addition. Very tidy on the ball and working out where it's going next.

Poor start but came into the game. Neat and tidy but didn’t seemed to have the physicality to cope with Scottish football

Levitt manages ok and he's no man mountain.

I was very impressed especially the second half,he looked to be enjoying himself, look forward to seeing more of him next season.

[Callum_62]

Hard game to come into but technically very good and really good composure

Liked him

Thought he was outstanding after a slow start found the pace of the game well spraying passes about left foot right foot did not look out of place excited to see more a prospect

[500miles]

He had a poor first 30 minutes. Came to terms with the frantic pace better after that.

[Real Emerald]

Tidy and once his confidence rose he looked a player

[B.H.F.C]

Thought he played too safe in the first half. Was just coming I. To the game when subbed I thought.

[makaveli1875]

Thought he was good , seems to read the game well. Composed on the ball and worked hard off it . Look forward to seeing him next season when he's properly.match fit

I liked him too, kept things simple especially when the rest looked lost early on.

Initially impressed and will only improve with game time.

[jws1875]

I thought we were starting to see the best of him and the subbed him off

[Tambo]

Took a while to get in the game, once he did looked good. He does like to be involved and not shy to look for a pass.

[GloryGlory]

It's amazing how we were all clamouring for more signings in the January window, we get just the one in Manneh who's hardly kicked a ball, our rivals all sign players and we've still had our best season in years! Football's a funny old game.

[The Spaceman]

Had a shaky start but really, really grew into it and by the end looked very comfortable and was dictating play. Looking forward to seeing him next season - he’s got it.

[BILLYHIBS]

Yip was strange just starting to dictate midfield with all their superstars was starting to drift past them with ease then hooked

[Forza Fred]

He was much better in the second half.

Sometimes we are too quick to rush to judgement.

I’d like to see him in a few more games before giving him a thumbs up or thumbs down.

:agree:

Agree with all of that.

[Gatecrasher]

I like the look of him and will play a good part in our season next year. I was wondering where he would fit into the team. Maybe take over from Triantis if he's not coming back.

[supermcginn]

Disappointed he was subbed, I like him he is clearly a talented player.

A lot of today's subs would have had an element of preplanning to them, I don't think it was a slight at all on how he was playing.

[Northernhibee]

Grew into the game. Can see him being a decent player. Not afraid to go for a difficult pass.

[random sub]

The boy showed talent on the ball. The pace of the game maybe caught him out a little bit but I’m sure he’ll get up to speed with things next season

[JohnM1875]

What a game to be thrown in to. We obviously have faith in his ability.

Thought he looked lost the a lot of the first half, but once he got on the ball and gained a wee bit confidence I think he had a good game.

Love the team spirit, he made a really good block in our box second half and Iredale made sure to give him a wee push and a high five, think Manneh appreciated it.

Get a pre-season into him and I think he'll prove to be a good signing. Happy he played today.

[Billy Whizz]

Started slowly but really came onto a game
Must be tough only training and getting little game time on the pitch
Liked what I saw

[number9dream]

Thought he played too safe in the first half. Was just coming I. To the game when subbed I thought.

That was my take too. Far too many passes back the way in the first half but looked more confident after the break and made one great challenge on Raskin to prevent a shot inside our box.

[Big90inOz]

He is a football player,once up to speed he had touch, vision and awareness.
Going to be a big player for us next season.

[theonlywayisup]

Really pleased for him. Must of been difficult coming to Edinburgh and a new club, getting sent off in the 1st game, then not contributing much in the remaining games until yesterday.

As most have said, he didn't have the most influential start to the game, but grew into it and I was very happy with his contribution. Hopefully, he'll be buzzing to start pre-season training looking forward to some European league stage football up until at least December.

[JimBHibees]

Thought he looked promising cool and composed on the ball.

[Bishop Hibee]

As others have said, he started slowly but grew into the game. I’m sure he’ll be a starter in our pre-season matches.

[wookie70]

I thought he looked lost the first 25 minutes, settled after that until the break and was possibly our best player in the second half up to the point he was subbed. He saw some passes that were 100/1 chances of success and still try to force the pass. Seeing teh pass was good but he will need to recalibrate so he keeps the ball in those circumstances. Looks like he can play a part next year when we are likely going to need a bigger squad

Agreed, I think we’ve signed a gem from watching him yesterday. He’ll be pivotal in our midfield next season I reckon.

100/1 chance passes are what Scott Allan lived for

Anyway, like him - no issue with trying the more difficult pass - good that he can see them

Great wee player for Europe and next season. Could be a cracker of a player there.

[Hibs90]

Who was it that played a cross field diagonal shortly after they came on? Levitt? Absolutely sublime pass.

Thought Manneh was okay - Looks composed

[EdinMike]

Like most have said thought he looked more comfortable and confident as time went on.

And I’m sure I saw on the screens a picture of JDH our last number 8 as he was being subbed off… either that or I was suffering heat stroke !

[Donegal Hibby]

Took him a wee while to get into the game but once he did , he regularly made himself available for the ball and on a few occasions he was actually demanded it . Think with a good pre season behind him he will be a big player for us .

I saw that as well, someone must have pressed the wrong button.

Aye it was Levitt. Pinged it beautifully out to the left wing.

[patlowe]

I think sometimes when you've not played in a while and you're feeling the weight of that it can take a bit of time to just catch your breath and adapt to the pace. Thought it was clear second half he was much more relaxed, feeling confident and showing what he potentially has to offer next season.

[matty_f]

I thought he was good - struggled with the pace of the game initially as Rangers came flying out the traps, but once he settled into the game I thought he was impressive.
A pre-season with the team and raring to go in the new season, I'm excited to see what he's like with a run of games in him.

[neil7908]

Can't say he stood out for me but definitely grew into the game as it went on and given his limited playing time, that's completely expected.

Excited to see what he can do without a season under his belt but still think we might need someone a bit more physical in the middle of the park if we can't get Triantis back.

Not that I'm saying he's the same level but think Triantis might be a bit like SMG in the sense that the combination of attributes is almost an impossible job to replace.

[Smartie]

A few folk highlighting the need for a decent pre-season and I agree that every time I’ve seen him I’ve thought that’s exactly what he needs.

I’m actually coming round to the way of thinking that pre-season then a sequence of league cup ties is actually quite an effective way to prepare for a season, much more so than what a weird run of European fixtures which come at you when you’re at varying states of readiness.

He looks like a player and I expect him to be very good when (if) he gets fully up to speed.

[Unseen work]

Thought Manneh looked promising.

A lot of composure on the ball, really good first touch and a couple of times he was pressed by the opposition he stayed calm and turned away or played a first time pass.

I was probably more surprised by some of his interceptions, reading of the play and tackles. One at the start of the second half in the box was a brilliant last ditch tackle.

Also liked how he mixed up his game whether it was first time pass, taking a touch, driving forward into space or trying to play a defence splitting pass.

Not bothered at all about a couple of misplaced passes. It was his first start this year? And he wasn’t the only one to misplace a pass!

He’ll be gutted the season is ending now, he’ll have had the longest pre season in history.

Looking forward to seeing him next season and intrigued to see where he fits in. Would he play alongside Levitt? Would be a very small central 2 but Levitt has been our best centre mid the past couple of months

[BILLYHIBS]

My gut instinct in the second half was he looked a nice tidy player and was already counting the money from his sell on

Looking forward to watching him in the new season

A big well done to whoever spotted him a diamond in the rough

[Onceinawhile]

Thought he looked OK. A lot of his passes seemed awfully light though, as if he wasn't hitting them hard enough.

We won’t be in the league cup groups

[Jones28]

Liked him, as everyone has said once he got used to the pace of the game he was tidy.

Been hoping to see him get a good run out and don't think he looked at all out of place.

[Since452]

Could maybe loan him out to Hearts for the groups?
