Thirsty Lizard 3,155 Posted August 28, 2021 Very impressed by him today. Great attitude and work rate - fast, low centre of gravity and some great bits of skill in tight areas. And takes a good set piece too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,680 Posted August 28, 2021 Him on one side and Tzolis on the other.. heaven 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeiranShikari 1,410 Posted August 28, 2021 He ran down blind alleys, was tackled multiple times and put in some dreadful crosses in the first half. Much better in the second. Some of the poor stuff will be down to playing in a new side but still an exciting player. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,618 Posted August 28, 2021 Great corner deliveries in the second half. Very direct, will not get delivery spot on every time or hed be playing for a champions league team but certainly a big Onel upgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) I have to say that so far I’m more in the “he’s ok”camp rather than being massively impressed, but it’s still early doors. Some seem to be easily impressed by a winger (eg Onel) but I expect a bit more end product. Hopefully it’ll come. People will say it’s a tad harsh but totally fair imo.

mannings bandy legs 385 Posted August 28, 2021 V Arsenal : Tzolis-Sargent-Rashica. Any body against that?.Nothing against Pukki whatsoever,but this must be a viable try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,202 Posted August 28, 2021 I thought he was excellent today and very quickly becoming my favourite. Cantwells position in the team is under threat once Tzolis gets fit, it really is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pockthorpe 530 Posted August 28, 2021 I like the boy Rashica a lot. He’s proper I reckon. Yes , great attitude. I loved that nutmeg he did second half - right in my line of vision, don’t remember or care who the Leicester player was. I do admit, I’m an absolute sucker for that sort of thing . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,618 Posted August 28, 2021 Just now, Midlands Yellow said: He’s very decent but they look better. Disagree. Very different players and fans typically get more excited by quick, pacey and tricky wingers even when their end product is significantly less. Cantwell will offer more in terms of goals and assists and like I say, he will play the most minutes of the three. Farke isn't stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May offer would be more defining, I like Todd but thought he was average at best today. I’ll have a bet with you that Tzolis will score more and create more than Todd this season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Def my MOTM.👍 Max Air-rons was the pick of the bunch for me today, but Rashica looked lively in the second half. I thought Todd showed plenty of bravery & hunger for the ball second half too and it was harsh how that offside call penalised him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curious yellow 184 Posted August 28, 2021 Rashica looks very promising, still settling in, when he starts getting some shots on target he's going to be a top player. Let's not get carried away with Tzolis and his performance against a strung together Championship team. I certainly wouldn't put that above someone who's scored against the top teams in the country. Hopefully there is room for all three, once the defence is sorted out we can move forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the nearest I have seen to my opinion of him at this stage. He certainly has something and as he grows into the season, he could be very effective for us. He played well today, but I thought Brandon Williams was right up there as one of our top performers today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,783 Posted August 28, 2021 I certainly like his attitude; he isn't the biggest but he's always up for a scrap and we need that sort of fight this season. He has shown glimpses of quality with his dribbling and close control, but his end product has been hit and miss. If he could just get that right with more regularity then we'll have a very good player on our hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
