KenjiOgiwara Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 So far he's looked exceptional. Borderline top class. I am shocked we got him as a championship outfit. Easily top 10 PL material methinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 good performance. positives, dynamic, dangerous, good on the ball, intelligent, rapid......great little player. negatives, versus minnesota and walsall he got dispossessed in a dangerous position at least once in each match trying to be clever, not sure if its an issue or just match sharpness required, but against stronger opposition those things will be punished. overall though, looks a wonderful little player and works really well with Jota down the right.

Delphinho123 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 He’s looked very good in pre season but the real test for him will be when we come under pressure from better teams. He hasn’t been worked properly defensively yet so I’m reserving judgement for now. Same goes for Targett, very neat and tidy but it’s what he’s like against top wingers that’s important. Positive signs though for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can perform to that level, have that much impact in any of the games he plays I'll be delighted. For what it's worth, I've never seen a right back run an entire game in a 6-1 win, with your centre forward getting 3 goals and still being not being the best player on the pitch. It's a weird benchmark, considering Lowton hasn't gone on to do much, other become a solid player for Burnley, but **** me, he was special that night. Thanks for this. Thoroughly enjoyed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 A good player to have, very smart, uses his brain and for the price we paid what a bargain if he can rise to the occasion and make forwards job impossible he will boss the yard on game day.

WakefieldVillan Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Haven't read all the comments, but seen a lot of love for this guy, which bodes well - but I was a little concerned defensively, especially in the opening period of last night's game. I must say though, he looked very capable going forward, quick and looks to have a decent delivery on him. Do people think he will start against Spurs? I have a feeling it may be Elmo.

Didiersix Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 His delivery looks exceptional - really nice variation as well. For me, he is a definite starter against Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Love how positive he is getting forward, should work wonders with Jota coming inside. Already like the look of Gilbert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV82 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Having had the giant Neil Taylor and Alan Hutton (I do love our Huts) inflicted upon us this is the signing I'm most excited by so far. He looks fantastic going forward and his partnership with Jota is blossoming. If he can defend the forgotten signing might prove to be our best.

Yeah, hopefully just a pre-season thing. He has also started 2 of the games quite poorly. But agree with all the positives. Great crosser of the ball as well.

sheepyvillian Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 For me, this kid looks the Mae West. I haven't seen a right back this decent since Mark Delaney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet your're right last best right back nothing equal mark Delaney in wholes season play in this position with limited mistake with good attack ability...I hope Gulibert take this title as it is void for long long ago when we has great right back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
