Donyell Malen

[Somniloquism]

Same accusations could be leveled at Rogers and JJ. But he ran around, dropped back when needed and was also very tenacious once on the ball.

[Meanwood Villa]

I thought he had a really good game

I like the look of him, it’s great that he can deputise for Ollie or cover either flank. Hopefully he can be an important utility forward for us like a Jota at Liverpool or Trossard at Arsenal.

I have been impressed so far - looks more than capable of the physicality of the league and his movement looks good.

He could have scored today - was unlucky at wolves - lots like a threat and full of running.  def upgrade on the version of jayden we saw.

I think he slots in seamlessly into the Watkins position.  Duran scored thundercrackers but lots of cogs needed to adjust to suit his game, this feels more natural.

Yeah did pretty well today.  Good to know that he can play in the lone striker position and do a job there.

Reminded me of Vassell in ways.. The way when he was in a tight situation he manged to use his lower centre of gravity and wriggle about shift the ball and get a shot off,

[SoccerHQ]

Really happy with how we played. Pressed fine and good in the counters. The goals will come.

Only thing that disappointed me was that chance he had end of first half.

All he has to do is quickly look up and see Ramsey unmarked at the back post. Instead he tries to score from a very acute angle and hits the side netting.

I've mentioned it elsewhere but as much as Man. City are incredibly boring to watch most of the time they still score more goals than us as in a situation like that one of theirs would know instantly to roll it across the box rather than trying to score from low percentage change.

We should've scored four or five tonight so just annoying we mess up so many three on twos with individualism rather than seeing someone completely unmarked wating for a tap in.

Asensio had it right with pretty much the last kick but annoyingly no one was there to score.

[N'ZMAV]

Also really pleased with the movement and work-rate - you can tell he's a good player and has a good pedigree - really good alternative to Watkins, that like Watkins, will put in a good shift for the team. Well pleased.

[Rigadon]

Looked solid in that position didn't he, and more disciplined than that former footballer we had last month, can't recall his name though.

Its early days but I can see a case where we can accept a large bid for Watkins in the summer and Malen and a rejuvenated Rashford replace him.

Another thing with Malen was his acceleration, there were a couple of times where I thought a ball to him was a bit short but he is rapid.

Yesterday's rumour was Watkins and Ramsey to Arsenal. So that would pay for it, and more.

No thanks.

They can fuck off with Ramsey.

I agree.
