Very exciting player and has adapted very well..

I do worry when he isn't playing we drop down a few levels..

I think we are in for Doku..

A very key player..

Physically imposing, picks the right passes..

A real captain for us!

finished.

Tough one for him..

He didn't take his opportunity against Fulham..

If Duran plays this coming week and looks imposing and is able to bag a goal..

Archer becomes 3rd choice and will have to build up his credit again..

He's not a left back..

Cool experiment.. but he will get exposed against better quality..

Very good player though

Coutinho is absolutely finished at any sort of meaningful level.

Yeah that touch when nobody was around him was awful..

Some of these players on the pitch are shades of Gerrard's time

The American coverage of the game is so much better that what we are used to

Personally he can make it at this level..

He reminds me of Olise & Eze.. 

He is only 21 and he is twisting full backs ankles?

He is no worse than what we currently have he just needs to work on his end product and decision making.

 

I said it a few months ago..

He is ready..

I’m not impressed tbh..

Judging by how quickly the majority of our Spanish speaking players have learnt the language I think he’ll get there quickly, but If he were if 4 of the back 5 were Martienz, Carlos, Pau, Moreno or Dinge they could speak Spanish all game and not have issues, Luiz in front also speaks Spanish and Tielemans has a  basic grasp of the language.

That makes sense hence the pairing with Carlos in the last two matches.

Once he finds his feet he will a force..

If he learns the English language quick he will be very vocal in terms of organising the back line.

Watching the game this morning I saw a clear difference between Mings and Pau..

Once Pau finds his feet Mings will struggle to dislodge him..

Pau was aggressive, very good with the ball, passing is crisp and sharp, strong in the air..

Maybe be Mings can learn playing that RCB role?

I think archers struggles were caused by the anonymity of Buendia and McGinn. They really didn't fill the spaces left behind by Archer on his runs which made him very isolated. And neither really tried to play off of him which is really what let his partnership with akpom shine. 

The one real time we passed around the area and tried to bet the ball to Archer he got a one on one where if he wasn't tripped he probably scores. 

that is another good point. 

Buendia & Mcginn were unable to execute those forward passes, they were either intercepted or over hit.. and we didn't have a lot of possession throughout the game.

The good thing with Archer is that he is very cool and calm and he didn't let those missed opportunities get inside his head.. He showed very good body language during and after the match.

I watched him play last night.

He is not the type of player to impose himself on defenders like Ollie Watkins..

We are not going to see the robust all action display so it can come across as underwhelming because we are not used to seeing that type of performance from a striker..

If I am being honest, it wasn't his best display and he would get a 5/10 for that performance.

The Fulham centre back pairing was a 17 year old Canadian named Fougerolles & Diop.. It was Fougerolles's inexperience that caused him to concede the penalty..

I really like Archer and I think that he is a big talent..

I think that he should have taken a longer break after the winning the Euro Championship but I guess he was eager to impress and stake a claim in the squad..

He will get plenty more opportunities, games like these are beneficial to his development this season.. BUT it will take him a while to get going I think..

I would like to see Archer continue to get more minutes in the second half

Give him some time..

This is probably the best squad of players we have had ever in term’s talent..

We are heavily stacked in terms defensive , midfield and attacking talent

He’s a special talent!

Great showing of football!

This has been a good friendly for us in terms of quality or opposition and to have a look at the players!

Olsen wont last too long here 

Knowing our luck we will sell him off to a French team..

He will have a very strong season and end up getting a move to Brighton or Brentford and be a top player for them
