Coneys Knee 953 Posted November 6, 2022 Ignoring the mistake (everybody makes them). I feel he’s really starting to acclimatise to the championship now and we’re starting to see why he’s all about. Pleased for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
By Hook or Ian crook 917 Posted November 6, 2022 I like how he seems to have a good nack of arriving in the box at the right time to get a shot in kinda like lampard used to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted November 6, 2022 He’s quite a strange player, clearly has good vision with a (mostly) decent pass, and is a definite threat going forwards with a tendency for popping up in the right place at the right time. His technique is also excellent when it comes to instinctive flicks / deft touches round the corner etc. But I can’t get over the fact he doesn’t really ever look fully in control of the ball when at his feet… He has a very chaotic dribbling style. Not sure if it’s just my perception but it feels like there is a lack of composure and technique in these situations, it’s also led him to making some pretty terrible passes at times during games. And I don’t mean that in respect of today with his error, but elsewhere in games where he seems to hit the panic button / doesn’t come across like he knows what to do in tight situations, and ends up passing to no one or running straight into a defender. I’m sure he will continue to improve and is certainly already proving an effective player, but he isn’t particularly screaming ‘club record signing’ at me. Then again nearly every player we’ve paid a good sum for has ended up a failure (RvW, Naismith, Rashica, Tzolis) so in that context he’s doing pretty great! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,163 Posted November 6, 2022 Lovely footballer. What impresses me most is that he is clearly very anxious to do well at our club. Good heart, as they say in certain parts of the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pugin 601 Posted November 6, 2022 Yes, a very capable player with good technique and very good feet. The pace of the English game caught him out in his first few appearances, but he seems to have adapted to it and there may be more improvement still to come. Now that he has adjusted we need him to play with his head up a little more so that he sees things earlier and moves the ball half a secknd quicker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,272 Posted November 6, 2022 Unconvinced. Mainly due to they price tag, and the thought we could’ve spent it better without the compromises a few have mentioned above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 5,131 Posted November 6, 2022 I was at the game yesterday and one of the main thoughts I left with was how he seems to be getting better every time he plays. Industrious and I thought he was pretty influential. As NWC says, that bit of juggling before we took the lead for the second time was impressive. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
