I think he has been one of the most disappointing signings of the summer. I expected so much more from him. He was pretty shite again today.

From FFP point of view id rather he was sold than JJ or Luiz

He's been exactly like he was in the last 18 months at Leicester.

When on top and dominating he's excellent. When it's a box to box and high intensity game he just can't keep up with the pace at all.

First half I actually thought he was o.k and disappointing Bailey either didn't see him or just refused to pass when we had a decent break midway through the first half.

He was playing very well in the November/December period so was disappointing he got the injury and hasn't really hit the same heights since.

I think he'll be around next season and then get the feeling the plan will be to cash in summer 2025, probably be interest from Saudi Arabia in him so we could make an o.k profit.

Yeah i think thats a fair assessment to be honest.  I too think that is the likely period he will be sold off. Really needs to atep up as hw doesnt ahve enough goals or assists

He's a great passer, but his lack of pace is painful to see. Several times Tielemans been on a break behnd Watkins, but he's so slow he never gets to make the overlap. This means Watkins either has to go it alone, or turn back and wait, by which time all the defenders have got back into position. I really hope that Emery doesn't try him next to Luiz with McGinn out, as we'll be completely overrun.

He needs to be better on the ball. He is great and finding passes others wouldn’t at times, but too often he gives it away and given his lack of physicality he has to be better than that.

I would sell him in the summer.

He offers very little, he is probably paid quite a bit due to being a free transfer & any money we get for him will be pure profit.

Win/win/win

With Donk also being sold we're going to be very light on CMs going into next season with Kamara not back until probably 2025.

Unless Tim does morph into all round midfield lynchpin but if people are complaining about his performance at Ajax it dosen't suggest to me he's quite ready for CL.

Unless some midfielders do better than they did today CL won’t be a concern.

He's been pretty poor all season, as he was last year at Leicester. If we can get good money, get rid.

He can only play as the second striker, he does not have the legs to play midfield at all.

We need 2 players in midfield this summer on top of what we have to have some rotation.

To think earlier in the season he was having a strop about not making the team. He’s been a massive disappointment the odd game apart.

Two of my mates who both go to every Leicester home and away game both warned me his legs had gone. I put that down to bitterness about relegation and losing their best players, but it looks like they're right.

He's only 26, has he had a really bad injury in the past or something, because he's about as mobile as Robert Pires with a walking frame.

Yeah it's hard to believe what we are seeing. It's like his legs are in treacle, runs but gets nowhere close to the man or ball. Another Coutinho. He's had a run of starts now, basically because we have no one else, and performed miserably consistently.

I thought he was ok in the first half playing in a position which did not suit him at all.
The tactics did not help a few out there Cash Bailey Watkins.

He's only fabulous when we're playing well as a team and on the front foot. Off the ball he's like Hourihane, pretty much invisible. Conor's work-ethic was better, he was just poor at tracking and tackling.

Really worrying that we have to rely on Tielemans for the next three games. It'll be like playing with 10.5 men and probably why we won't win any of those games.
