Has Tomlin a place in a MM side?

Selective memories from some posters on here.

Tomlin doesn't work hard and doesn't track back? That's just lazy stereotyping of him. When he had that incredible run of games during the good run we had last season he was sometimes sprinting almost the length of the entire pitch to prevent a counter attack. This was 60+ mins into the games too.

Didn't Harris say that he picked up one of his injuries chasing back in training too?

Yes l, of course he's injury prone, but he's also the most talented footballer we've had in years. There's absolutely a place for a fit Tomlin in this team, even if it's bringing him on as a sub if we're chasing a game.

Totally agree, I don't think we've had such a naturally gifted player on our books since maybe Koumas. Tomlin has that special quality of creating winning opportunities out of nothing.

That said he's obviously got a weight problem and that's his Achilles heel. If only we had a really fit Tomlin on our hands then we might be able to forget the play offs and go up automatically.

Sadly, I see MM only using him sparingly, if at all, and if Mick is confirmed as manager next season Tomlin will be on his way out. I wish it were otherwise.

What has he done for us in the last 4 seasons?
