Matete is a quality player, fantastic ball control and he's always willing to pick up the ball in any position and very rarely loses it when he does. He's brought out the best in Rose who has looked much better. I've no doubt in a better side he'd be able to get forward more often and we forget he's just turned 20 years old, he's playing far above his years at the minute.

My only criticism is that he's terrible in the tackle and possesses a weird centre of gravity, constantly looks like he's falling over which affects his tackling for me.

Aside from that, he's miles better than where we are at the minute and he'll no doubt have a fantastic career. Given the fact a fairly large portion of our fanbase didn't rate Siriki Dembele, I wouldn't be too worried if I was him and read that some fans didn't rate him, it's probably a good thing.


Couldn't disagree more re his tackling...he's superb at close quarters and 1 on 1 battles, very seldom does he not win the ball, what he does lack is composure when trying to tackle at pace, he lunges in far too often with little self control thus all his yellow cards.

Probably could've worded it better, I was more getting at the fact he seems to be a red card waiting to happen (although it still hasn't happened somehow).

I see Matete is expected to miss the Salford match through injury. With Habergham back, I expect Clifton will move into midfield. Will be interesting to see if Hurst sticks with 3 in the middle or goes 442.

Now that I do agree with, what's more with his mistimed lunges are more scared of him doing real damage to an opponent.
