If only I’d hung on a few days I could’ve saved myself a lot of typing and I wouldn’t have needed to watch our worst 10 minutes 5 times. Very very good today. Already made the position his own. (Although in my defence I’d say my slight concerns about him being ( understandably) off the pace and so vulnerable defensively are still relevant .) Really impressive second half.

AVTuco Posted August 17, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 17, 2019 I loved how overjoyed he was after he scored. He was pumped all game, he cares. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Terrible first half I thought but grew into the game. Looks a very good player, just needs to gel with others. Often thought there was too much space between him and grealish, mcginn. Superb goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their play acting and cheating is scummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 He was brilliant, made everything look so easy and won the battles with players who looked twice the size of him. I love his passing, always finds a way and almost never gives the ball away. The fault for the goal I don't know if it was lack of communication or what is was, it was recless, but mostly unlucky the way it went after that. Don't think he put a foot wrong thereafter and passed it around with ease. And all that not even mentioning the goal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Horror first half, too slow. Stood up, got on the ball, and played second half. Pleased for him to score. That's the player I want, not interested in bottlers hiding away. Don't want to lose possession so go backwards all the time, get tackled once so flick it off constantly, play it safe every time so you never lose the ball, get pressured so hide behind opposition. Doug did none of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Huge talent. Need too have him as a starter and be comfortable. Think he can really shine if we pull ourselves together and get more confidence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexvilla4 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I didn't like him first half at all. Very slow on the ball, gave it away a few times and was also at fault for the 2nd goal. Defensively his positioning wasn't good, and I also disliked his attitude a couple of times where he tried to block off a runner with his elbow or just a bit too aggressively. 2nd half though he was much better, put in a few interceptions and released the ball a lot quicker, plus his goal was great and his celebration made me feel better about his attitude. Hopefully he will keep improving as we can't afford any luxury players in the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 He didn’t have a poor first half. He had one or two poor moments. I was impressed with his strength and his technique is sublime. He should have been on corners and free-kicks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) You don't pull dummies like that at the top of the box in the opposition's attacking third. Especially when there's no idea of who's going to receive it in your peripheral view. Might've been a brilliant idea if it was in our attacking third, and shows that Luiz has a creative spark in him, however doing it in that position showed naivety and cost us big. If there was ever a way to redeem yourself for such an error, he found it. Absolutely spectacular goal, which I've seen him do the like before. That was obviously no fluke. Think we've got a serious talent on our hands in Luiz. Has a long way to go in order to prove himself at this level, but the initial impression is that he'll be impressive.

villarule123 Posted August 18, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18, 2019 Thought he looked like Carlos Sanchez in the first half. Thankfully, improved a lot in the second. I did get nervous everytime he had the ball outside his own area, but hopefully he knew what he was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MellbergsBeard Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 After his mistake it would have been easy to hide from the ball, but he came deep and was always looking to receive the ball. I think he will be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a mistake you make twice. If the opposition did do that, then it’s a free kick to us for unsporting behaviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) Did my eyes deceive me or did Shearer and co. spend the whole of the MOTD analysis talking about how naive Luiz was as a DM and completely ignored the fact that he scored a wonder goal?

When I was watching that first half I said he's just Carlos Sanchez, a technically good player but far too casual on the ball especially in dangerous positions. He improved 2nd half but there were still one or two moments where he slightly miscontrolled an easy pass and was nearly punished. Unlike Carlos Sanchez I'm confident he'll improve this as he gets more used to the pace of the league. I want him to succeed mainly because of his hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
