Possibly Ian Ormondroydesque….needs to find his niche in the system, perhaps

He'll have a blinder at home against Everton, then. 6-2 I reckon.

In the second half he did go past players but he didn't have the pace to go on with it. Just isn't quick enough for what we need.

It seems more a strength thing, and not that he doesn't have it just when to apply it correctly.

Genuinely thought he was much improved 2nd half, best half he's had for us.

Definitely, he has no upper body strength. He needs to work on this. Torres didn’t when he arrived here. For a big lad he’s not physical enough.

Or as LeeB says, he's not using it right.

Seems pretty strong to me.

Not quite as engrossing as the Watkins subplot, but the Guessand storyline is intriguing.

Awful first half and much better in the second. He’s showing signs of “adaptation”.

He wasn’t helped in the first half where the bigger kids (Pau, Maatsen, Rogers and Watkins) were hogging the ball on the left side of the pitch.

That's who he reminds me of too in a gangly, awkward, doesn't look like a winger type of way.

I reckon he'll start tomorrow. Guessand, not Ormo.
