Ikon Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 His touch today was sticky. First time I’ve seen him having this good close control like today. Runs like a cheetah too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 So glad he's got as coupe in quick succession. Its just reward for the work he's put in, just a shame he's going to have to wait a few weeks to play again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 He’s better from the left as well. He’s actually got a useful left foot so can run and standup his man and do something useful with either foot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 You can see he’s exceptionally confident at the moment. That goal last week has made a big difference to him. I’ve been backing him all along as I love his game but he was clearly not playing near his top level earlier in the season even though he was showing lots of quality. Today though, every time he was on the ball in their half he was looking to attack them, either with a run at pace, beating that man by dropping a shoulder, playing a killer pass (like the lofted one that should have led to a goal) or his goal. He was our best player today and our player who looked most likely to get us that goal, either by an assist or as it happened, a goal. I’m really excited about what to this lad is capable of for the rest of the season with his confidence up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Playing so well at the moment. Can tell he’s absolutely brimming with confidence. An absolute joy to watch when he’s running at players too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Great to see him playing so well at the moment. He's always had something, but was generally incredibly frustrating in the past. Seems to be forcing himself into games more now rather than letting it happen around him; something which seems to have been the biggest change in almost every player since Howe took over.

KaKa Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 He's figuring it out in that midfield. Really great move by Howe putting him on the left side. Fair play to the guy, because I was really down on him early in the season. Please keep it up! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Is he literally growing taller still? Looks like he's filled out. Has seemed like a more imposing presence, both physically and on the ball in the last couple of games. Edited November 13, 2022 by 80 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Him and Joelinton changing between LCM & LW is working really good. ASM will struggle to get back in the side based on the Chelsea and Villa game. Very weird player. Thought he was one of our poorest players start of the season. Often looks like his mind is far away from the match with how late he reacts to some situations but been immense lately.

Geordie Ahmed Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Was brilliant today and has actually been good for a while. It's nice that he's scored again, it's more than deserved. Back when he went on his scoring run, whilst the goals were obviously invaluable he was mostly anonymous in those games. That isn't the case now, he's very much involved and is doing a lot of good work. Long may it continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhog63 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Has it been mentioned, in reference to the knee slide malarky, how he absolutely failed at that when Bruno did it. Against Southampton iirc. Hilarious footage of him going arse over tit behind Bruno 😂😂😂😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
