Definitely seemed like the 'occasion' got to him.

 

 

Think he looked a bit jaded. Wasn't composed when his chances came. And i think Dyche dealt with the left wing very well.

 

He's a bit of a SJP bully. Sheff U aside he's not scored or assisted away from home iirc. The narrative might be that the occasion got to him but that performance wasn't much different to his other away performances. This one he even had a few decent openings.

I remember him seeing him smile/laughing a lot, and looking quite 'relaxed', whereas I feel he is normally super focussed 

 

Kind of think he was focussed on not looking stressed and trying to appear like he doesn't care /look cool but this resulted in quite a meh performance

Ya tbh thought he was trying way too hard to score or do something and then his demeanor seemed so weird to me because he’s never smiling like that until he’s done good. Hes usually got a steeliness to him. I think he’ll be thrilled he doesn’t have to do that for another year. He’ll probably have gotten his break he needed and I’d fancy him to absolutely level them at SJP. He had what 2-3 chances to score last night that you’d put money on him doing at home.

Mad to think he would have still been at school studying for his GCSEs the last time they were a Premier League team.

 

Miley would have still been at Primary School. :yao:

 

 

 

And they're both still give 'em the runaround  ??

I noticed today his running off the ball isn't very intelligent, either when pressing or when we have the ball, once he fixes that aspect he'll be even more of a threat to other teams.

his movement and pressing are his two biggest strengths imo.

 

He’s been poor with the ball recently though.

Go to the previous page, top half and watch the video that specifically debunks what you are saying.

 

That being said, he hasn't been playing at the level he was the last 2-3 games, but every player should be allowed drop in form from time to time.

I’m not sure I agree with this. His willingness to receive the ball is one of his best attributes. Literally has his palms out stretched like “give me the ball” running full speed. Pure footballer  who will only get better and better.

I still don’t get what elite talents he has or is likely to develop. He’s decent and works well for Howe but I don’t see beyond that.

Exactly! That take was utterly ridiculous

He’s decent? He’s got lethal pace, he’s desperate to succeed, he’s got excellent ability at cutting inside and leaving a man for dead with his close control. He’s got excellent movement and spots a run. He’s also great at our press and putting in the defensive effort. He’s added more goals to his game. The next step is to provide more consistent chances for his teammates. He’s fairly faultless, sure he could have better tricks and technique and beat his man down the line but his overall game is outstanding
