First half hatrick against Pool, incredible.
Correction, first-half PERFECT hat-trick against the Champions...

Just outstanding. This weekend as I watched some of the forwards on other teams (that realistically we will compete with for a mid table spot), I honestly didn't know if we had a Calvert-Lewin or Ings or Raul etc. Fuck this lad is every bit as good. Just fucking awesome today. He tore to shreds a current England CB

Never in doubt.
Disappointed he didn't score the one-on-one.

Couldve had 5. His running, dropping, going wide, coming short, over the top, holding up confused the fuck out of them.

In his post match interview, he said he should have done better for the one on one and needs to improve! We have a jewel here

Fabulous player. Pacy and mobile. We've struck gold. With players like Jack, SJM and Barkley this kid will fill his boots.

I wanted him in when we were linked but I thought he'd be one who needed easing in - some cameos from the bench, one for the future etc. Instead, we've only gone and got ourselves a proper line-leading Premier League striker. And I love the attitude of being pissed off with himself at the chance he missed instead of dwelling on the three he scored. He's going to get an absolute bagful for us, defenders must hate playing against him - he's a proper pain in the arse who never gives them a second's peace. Outstanding.

He'd already impressed me without scoring, but today he got the goals his work so far had deserved. I did worry he might just be a poacher and not much else but he's very good all round, has a bit of nous, works the channels well and reads Jack very well. I think he'll hit 20 this season. He'll make a few too and I think there's a certain benefit he has from having been a wideman before. I guess like Henry. If he's half as good as Thierry, he'll do alright.

You look at his stature and struggle to see how he's going to cope physically against big centre halves, yet somehow he wins a very high proportion of high balls and recycles possession really efficiently.
We've got a gem on our hands, by the look of it.

I know it's probably a technical impossibility, but I think he's bigger than he looks.

I didn't realise he was as quick as he is. Rapid.

One of the best debuts I've seen. Right up there with Stan.
Edit: I meant that to go on the Ross Barkley thread. But what the fuck, let's spread the love.

He’s very deceiving in that he looks small and lightweight but he’s so strong. I noticed against Fulham and again tonight. Clever player, quick, strong, a proper centre forward.
