Taibi was awful overall but he was awarded Man of the Match on his debut despite an early mistake.
Everyone seems to remember the Le Tissier goal but that wasn't his debut: his first appearance was at Anfield, in the game where Jamie Carragher seemed determined to score as many own goals as we need to win.
I might start a thread on here to do with 'false memories' because a lot of people state that Taibi was disgraceful from day one. Not quite true. Taibi's debut was somewhat uneventful and he looked okay. His second game, I think he had an absolute stinker but i still say to this day that selling him after two games was harsh. Think how many shocking performances we saw after that from United goalkeepers, let alone other PL keepers.
Another one, WIlliam Prunier. Scored on his debut, no? Flying header? Then had an absolute 'mare and same situation, sent packing again.
