No, as Gabby and Bent aren't the same player clearly, they've never even attempted to play in the same manner.
Makoun, when doing the more disciplined role, plays like NRC tries to. You'd need to have watched them both to understand it.
There was no sarcasm there, I know your friend Nigel needs defending at all times, but I said that as a straight faced statement of fact, no bile or humour to it. It's not an echo of Woodytom either - I was one of the first people to say that of Makoun from the moment we were linked months ago.
