The Fun Factory Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Looked decent tonight, though Ajax nowadays perhaps more of a championship type opposition he is used to? Interesting to see him play more in a central role behind Watkins. Did a few decent through balls and I thought the yellow was harsh. A good learning experience for him.

M_Afro Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 He was promising again last night. He oozes class on the ball. His technique and vision are very good but he desperately needs to learn how to tackle! You can see why we signed him though. He has lots of potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I thought he was pretty good considering he's new to this level, and hasn't even played one and a half games for us, so before last night he hadn't even played a full games worth of football, but he's not looking out of place, was his play that lead to the corner for Watkins goal, he also played a good through ball to Diaby that lead to a good Bailey chance, and wasn't too far away from getting a goal himself from distance, in a very short amount of game time already he could have had three or four goals, on a couple of occassions he could have done better, others he's been unlucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) I think is a potential player here but wont see best of him until at least second half of next season. He has to learn the Unai way Edited March 15 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted March 15 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15 Looked OK but needs to be careful with his yellow cards, he was on a yellow and stuck a challenge in that could easily have got him sent off. That's why he was brought off. Good going forward though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Similar to Luton away first half saw glimpses of what he will bring to the team but really needs to be smarter with his tackles. Cost himself some more minutes in the second half as he could have be booked twice already. He will learn I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted March 15 VT Supporter Share Posted March 15 He seemed quiet, and didn’t get stuck in too much, maybe the early yellow blunted him a little. I think he was solid if not spectacular, and is probably still adjusting to the Emeryball level of instruction and coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree, and at the same time, you can see why he cost what he did rather than 20m+ - there's some development required. That can actually be very good though as we'll be shaping him as a footballer to play in our system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, similar to last time, I think his yellow was very harsh, but he doesn't seem to take the caution as a reason to moderate his tackles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rough diamond of course, but, we could be looking back at him being an absolute bargain in three years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly it’s a case of looking at the potential rather than expecting a finished article it’s easy to see why we signed him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I thought he looked good when he moved into central areas. I'd maybe looking at playing him off Ollie and move Diaby left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to learn the Unai way I think that like our other attacking players he will benefit from working with Rodri. Watkins and Bailey have both namechecked him. If he can improve him by the same level as those 2 then he will be scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a bit rough and ready - whether there is a player in there, we'll have to find out. He's only 21 and so he's still learning. At the same age Ollie was still playing for Exeter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
