VillaChris Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Interesting he's getting starts. Certainly feels UE likes what he's seen in pre season so far. Dosen't mean he's going to be starting premier league games anytime soon but he's also a fair bit away from just being sold to a championship team so up to him what he makes of the next few weeks as with 9 subs there's plenty of involvement in matchday premier league squad to be had.

stewiek2 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Real Saka (hmm wonder who gave him his first team break?!) vibes from the lad last night. He's going to be some player. Edited July 24, 2023 by stewiek2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Looks promising. Can't see him getting much game time in the Premier League this season but the conference league and domestic cups yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 It will be interesting to see how good he can get this season, the club will only keep him if they think he can offer something to cup/european squads. He's got that quick movement and burst of pace that can leave a defender standing though, it's something Bailey doesn't have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete101 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Love for him to stay around for season and be heavily involved, More so than any other reason, to show other young players that this is the route to the first team, a good loan spell and you will get your opportunity. Not demand a place like another former player that I believe made his debut with philogene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be some player. They’re the same age really (only a dew months apart) but Saka was starting Premier League matches 3 or 4 years ago. I doubt JPB will ever play for England. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the present rate of assists, it would take JPB around 250 games to match Bailey's contribution of 6 so far in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Philogene has to really work at it. The confidence on the ball is all there but he’s got to graft as well. Kadan Young might not be as flashy on the ball but he was in position more than Philogene was defensively last night. Want it to work for Philogene as he gets people off their seats but long way to go for him still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't pay much attention to his defensive work because he was in an attacking midfielder role, but that's something I'm going to watch for.

Chicken Field Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I thought he looked really good with the ball at his feet, but that there were some really really poor decision making and vision. There were at least three times in the game where he could/should have passed/crossed early for easy really big opportunities, where he didn't, which made med think that he is nowhere near ready for premier league football.
