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.
I really do not know what your problem with me is but give it a rest.

I watched the highlights back earlier. I think he's going to be really good once he gets used to the pace. I like the look of him.

He put through a couple of really nice passes as well.

I thought he looked decent in the first half, attacking wise, but defensively, the imbecile ref booking him & then warning him for his very next challenge on that little prick at RB of theirs meant that he was on a tightrope & was rightfully hooked at HT, otherwise he was getting a red.

I cant blame him too much for the defensive side of his game last night as that was down to more shitty officiating.

But he held the ball well, ran with it well, passed it well, was creative, had a decent chance & I think it's only time before he is a very solid attacking squad option.

Given the ref was at the same level of twat as the last few we've had, I was almost certain he was going to get a second yellow for that nibble at the fella ankles over on the Witton side, can fully understand him getting dragged and I thought Youri did well in his place, particularly in making that knob Henderson look a mug a few times.

Whilst he was on I liked the look of him, loved that bit when he collected a vertical pass and drove through the middle before getting a bit excited and firing wildly over. He's got something, the ability to carry the ball through the midfield.

It was his best performance for us so far.  Not great opposition I know but he did a lot of good stuff. More coaching with emphasis on positional awareness and we'll have a cracking player I think.

Once he gets in front of his opponent he's strong enough to hold them off as they chase as well.

I get the feeling that that half time substitution was planned

Don't think so.  He was fortunate not to get a second yellow in the first half, so I'm sure it was done as they didn't want to risk going down to ten.

I'll forgive trying too hard all day long, compared to the alternative.

Ah yes, the Italian.

Definitely not planned, he told one of the media team on the bench it was because of the card.

He was lucky to get away with one after he had already been booked in fairness

Looks good. He could have easily scored in every appearance for us so far, so I’m hugely optimistic about his future after he puts his first one away.

I agree. He has the attributes required to succeed.

I think it's too soon for him to be starting. He's showing some good touches but can lack composure in attack and he's being targeted the other way. Wasn't bad today but if we're gonna chuck a kid, there's probably more benefit to big Tim filling a gap in the middle at the moment. And certainly, Diaby would offer a lot more in attack.

If we find ourselves a couple of goals up and cruising, bring him on but I think he's a risk at the minute. They were really getting at Rogers and Moreno first half.
