Coffee_Johnny Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Steady, calm, so often in the right place he makes it look easy. Great signs for a very top drawer centre back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Positioning looks immaculate, delighted with him so far. Haaland up in a few weeks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Watching him vs. Bilbao, it was like Botboys against Botmen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Looks a diamond on first viewing. As he should for the money we paid obviously but he's unphased by anything and deals with everything with minimal fuss. Didn't seem to get caught out of position, read the game well and can also pick a pass into midfield too. He's another rock (alongside Bruno) who will be here for years to build a team around, he's excellent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 His composure is outstanding, came across as an effortless performance. He was exactly where he needed to be every single time. Really encouraging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 a young jonny woodgate in terms of composure and anticipation.... all from a couple of friendlies though! but looks the real deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Really impressed with him so far, he's strong, positioning looks solid and comfortable with the ball at his feet, as has been mentioned he looks for a positive pass, played some really good forward passes.

Jordan Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Ridiculous talent. Reads the game like a 35 year old. Can’t believe he’s only 22. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 He's an absolute diamond. Potential to be the rock of the defence for many many years to come Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Commentator was saying he wasn't sure who'd start at CB against Forrest. No way Botman doesn't start, Burn or Schar next to him is the only question. Solid as anything and has ability at his feet to play the ball neatly and pick out longer passes easily.

Guest HTT II Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I’ve said it before, he has this stoic, steely serious no nonsense type feel about him. He’d probably be a successful serial killer if he wasn’t a footballer. I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen of him thus far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Has a real imposing, commanding presence doesn’t he, enjoyed watching him play from the Gallowgate yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkhead Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Yeah, now I understand why Maldini likes him. Worth noting how happy he seems in the post match interview. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slick and confident passing falls over when Ritchie/Lacelles/Murphy get a touch unfortunately. But I'm excited nonetheless as you can see what EH is trying to do and it's night and day in 8 months compared to Bruce's 2 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
