Pistone must play better - Moyes

Last updated : 06 February 2003 By Austin Rathe
"Since he came back into the side four games ago Sandro has done very well," said Moyes. "Now he needs to produce this kind of form consistently. He needs to get himself known as the talented player he undoubtedly is. "He has to be reliable and available for selection every week so that he can improve with games and improve with the training we give him as well."

"He's got so much natural talent. He's got pace, strength, gets forward well and can use the ball well with both feet. "Now he needs to become a player who gets the games under his belt.

"It would be better to judge him after 20 games rather than just a few but there's no doubt he's a good allround defender. He can play anywhere across the back line, which gives me great options, but the bottom line is he needs to keep himself fit."

So then, well done Pistone, but watch your back, because a certain young Englishman is back from a thigh injury.
