Keyblade Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Both of his PL goals were a Benteke throwback. Such a weird sentence to be uttering, but this was what Benteke was doing for us *checks notes* 10 years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Still very rough around the edges but oh my the potential this kid has. He has the size, the determination, and skill to goto the very top. Very happy we are the club that scooped him up before others took notice.

Benteke in his prime was immense, and this kid is already regularly showing flashes of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam2003 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Do you know you can read back on this thread and people were suggesting he should be loaned TO LEAGUE ONE less than a month ago? Raw, but a lot of talent. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 today showed why he was/is our backup striker (and above Archer in the striker order) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I absolutely love this lad. He's endearingly mad and while extremely raw - can't be stated enough that he's only 19 - you can just see that he has so many elements to make it at the top level. What a goal as well, about time one of those efforts came off for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 It was exceptionally bad defending from Mitchell, who has given him time and about two yards of space to turn in, but at the end of the day he's still got to score it and under great pressure as well when it looked like the wind was going from our sails. Bad defending but a fine fine finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely boggles my mind why some were writing off a 19 year old... What a bloody goal. That's just the mentality of a bunch of our fans unfortunately. No patience. They expect the finished article instantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad defending but a fine fine finish. He was going to score somehow a similar goal last season against City. The ability is definitely there. He just needs to focus and not keep shooting from areas were nothing would come out of it. He’s a much better goalscorer than Watkins but he needs to improve in other aspects as well. Looking forward for his development. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I saw him hit it and thought it had flown into the Holte. Hell of a strike, one I'll be watching on repeat all evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 He's young, a little petulant, childish..... but god dam this kid could seriously become our number one CF and lead the line for years. What a dynamic performance topped with an absolute pearl of a strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 You could tell he was on it as soon as he came on, he did a few nice layoffs, had an earlier effort nicely struck on target and tracked back to win the ball when it was a dangerous Palace break. Then he hit that thunderbolt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
