Jim Smith 2,321 Posted August 25, 2021 I’m a great believer that you can tell very quickly if a player “has it” or not. I remember the first time I saw Maddison play you could tell. Just that ease and extra bit of time snd space they create for themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure he’ll be at the pearly gates waiting to welcome Charlie Watts 👍 Edited August 25, 2021 by Alex Moss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a friendly against Coventry I think, and Maddison just oozed quality. Told the kids - best player at the club right there, which he subsequently proved to be true. So I was very encouraged by Tzolis, quite apart from the goals and assist, the quality of being in the right place at the right time is priceless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sort of seeing a scenario where he'll be "found out" by top tier opposition and suddenly he doesn't look superhuman. We need to give him time. Remember Gilmour was hyped to the Moon after Scotland's game against England and and now we're not sure he even starts for us. I mean he is fantastic going forward but lacks toughness and experience to defend. Expectations must be checked against reality. OK, After raining on this parade I need to confess that it is really hard to not get swept up by the excitement. It was the perfect game to clear the ManC disappointment and Tzolis was key to it. I hope he starts against Leicester. After that match we'll be a lot wiser. Can only say it as I see it, Upo! But it’s clear even before we signed him that he’s a wonderful talent, and could well be a future superstar. Don’t see any reason not to be anything other than very optimistic about him, and why not eh? : ) Edited August 25, 2021 by Alex Moss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzar 1,702 Posted August 25, 2021 I liked the way he delayed the shot and committed the defender for his first goal - ice in the veins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
