Lennon did not get much game time. As a result, Twain was not particularly impressed with the performance that he saw from him.
After the match, Twain met with Lennon.
Lennon viewed Twain as his mentor and a man whom he respected. Thus, he unreservedly told Twain about all his troubles.
He told Twain that he had been brought into the club by Mourinho. Mourinho was a manager who liked to play wingers, and he was able to get game time under his leadership. But, ever since Zola took over at the club, he had not been able to get much game time at all, because Zola did not think highly of him, especially since he was injured.
Since he was unable to play in games for long periods of time, he could not guarantee that he would be able to perform well in matches when he did play. Twain would not be able to see his best performances, even if he continued to spend time in Milan to observe him.
