Flanno is still very, very raw, Bale would have ripped him a new one. That would've wrecked the lad's confidence. Flanno is a decent young player but no more. He is a long way from being a regular for the club and I have my doubt whether he will still be here long-term. He's okay defensively but offers nothing going forward, which is a big problem when your full-backs can't overlap and provided attacking support. I agree with Kenny's decision to start with Skrtel ahead of Flanagan, even after what happened yesterday.
