He was screwed by the ref and the very soft yellow so early on.  After that it felt like only a matter of time before a red so Emery had no choice really.  Some decent touches though, he looks like he could become useful.

I thought he looked good. The tackle was a bit clumsy so can see why ref gave a yellow butvshould ahve let him off as was first foul. He lucky he didnt get a red as the 2nd was worse than the 1st

Yeah, i thought he looked decent. And yeah, the 2nd tackle was worse than the first.

He shows a lot of promise , needs to cut out the silly fouls and bookings. Also he needs to learn that moving the hands in the shape of a ball and mouthing I got the ball is not going to cut it.

So doing the same thing every player claims when called back for a foul?
Every player? you have the evidence to back that up?

Maybe don't be too literal as that is how the FBI might get called over an imagined death threat. Or maybe just watch any match and I guarantee you will see a player pointing to the ball or other indication that it "wasn't a foul ref honest", the same as they claim the ball when it goes out of play for their team even when it hasn't.

Ts telling how he has been caught out by the pace of both the prem and euro games. Late into tackles and subbed before reds were coming.

I think he will be good but time to acclimatise is needed

I can absolutely see something in him. He had a couple of really nice carries with the ball last night and some lovely link up with Diaby. But unsurprisingly he’s very raw and needs to work on his game.

Obviously only seeing the highlights but the good efforts in the first half shown seemed to have him driving forward with the ball. He not only looks a bit like Ramsey in appearance, but also seems to play like him as well, even down to not being as effective when not on the ball.

He’s a big lad and looked strong on the ball. He was only hooked because he got booked.

Yes, he's good at picking up the ball from broken play and driving forward.  Very Ramsey esk in that way.

I thought he did OK last night. He was obviously a bit over-keen, but I'll forgive trying too hard all day long, compared to the alternative.

Agree with the Ramsey comparison.  I think he's looked promising when he's got the ball in pretty much every game he's played.  Just think the defensive side of his game is a bit weak at the moment, especially if he's going to play on the left side of midfield, but that's something he can work on and improve.

Definitely some raw material there. Up to the coaching team and the player himself to capitalise accordingly.

He's nowhere near as athletic or as quick as Ramsey. Well, when Ramsey isn't injured, obviously.

I think he’s quick enough given his physicality, you can imagine players bouncing off him.

I get the feeling that that half time substitution was planned
