Martin O’Neill says he is ‘very pleased’ with striker Chris Sutton who bagged his first (of many we hope) goal against Everton last weekend.
O’Neill said of the 33-year-old former Celtic, Blackburn and Chelsea striker:
‘I’m obviously very pleased with Sutton. I’ve given him a few days off because he’s worked hard.’
‘He’s a good character and he’s very conscientious. He’s still enjoying it and at this stage of his career he’s got to enjoy it, otherwise it would be a real waste of time. I know it’s a short-term contract to the end of the season and he was absolutely adamant that if things didn’t work out, he would just pack the bags and head off. But I always felt he definitely had a chance and he’s doing well. He’s giving it everything he’s got.’
‘He was out on his feet again at Everton and I am concerned in the last minutes of matches, where he’s given everything and then he gets so tired that the muscles seize-up on him.’
