Changing times as fragile Louis breaks his duck
I made this remark here two weeks ago; his classic centre-forward’s intervention in the 71st minute of Saturday’s slightly-alarming afternoon neatly confirmed we were right so to do.
“Balsawood Man” is thus, temporarily, re-glued, and he must have been pleased to see so many hacks complaining in Sunday’s papers that Fergie had taken too long to bring him onto the field. A tad harsh, surely: one imagines Alex has the same fears about Louis as the rest of us, namely that one hesitates to risk the fragile forward for a whole 90, lest he trip on a touchline water bottle and break his neck.
