Quite right. Just think what he has achieved in little over one season: regular slot in an EPL team, lauded by the media, played in an FA Cup Semi Final (and the mental pressure of feeling his mistake cost his team mates the game), and started, yes started, in a full England International debut.

A jewel for our future.

This smacks of good man management by PV to me. Tyrick has had a year and more of real highs and now hit a low. Probably harder for a youngster to cope with than a seasoned pro. I imagine PV will have put his arms around his shoulders and said "You've been fantastic and are a key member of the team and a short time out will give you time to refocus and come back even stronger".

I sense that the rest of the squad will have been really supportive as well. This may also make him think twice about a big money move away whilst he is still learning the game with us.

If properly managed, he can be a real star for us.

I also think he isn't 100% physically. Before his injury, I don't ever recall seeing him outrun, as Almiron managed to do for the lone Newcastle goal. Tyrick at 85% is better than anyone else we've got, but after such a long grind of a season, it's smart to give him the rest he needs for his long-term health and for our success – if we can keep him.

(And it's a shame that Almiron managed to finish so clinically. Tough chance, but he took it.)
