KDT Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I suppose the key question I have is if he's a baller or not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striking the ball cleanly too. He's getting there. He's reminding me a bit of Sadio Mane. Excellent pressing, great engine, pace, good ball carrier. Good box movement.

Newcastle Fan Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Hasn't been his at his best today but that's understandable considering the effort he put on Wednesday, age is on his side though and he should recover well for the next game.

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Felt like he was coming in too much again. He's sometimes devastating when he goes down the outside or at least mixes it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Thought he was quietly excellent. A lot of great runs to create space for others. His mobility gave us an out ball we don’t have without Isak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 He probably covered about half as much ground as he would when on the wing, bit of a night off for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 He’s mint, has all the technique and awareness in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Just now, Gallowgate Toon said: He probably covered about half as much ground as he would when on the wing, bit of a night off for him Part of the reason he was started upfront I think. Didn't need to do as much running and graft. Was still such a good team performance from him. Involved in lots of interchanges with Almiron, Willock and Joelinton, and constantly threatened in behind which opened up space for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Always puts endless amounts of graft in and looks to be developing a really good intelligence of the game. His run to create space for Willicks goal was very smart. Brilliant, reliable player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Didn’t always come off. But his link up, little touches round the corner, pass and go and the runs he made off the ball were top quality. Won’t get all the flowers that Tino, Willock, Hall and co are getting. But he just quietly went about his business and did really well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Big tick in the box in terms of being able to play through the middle. Helped make Willock's goal with his run away and took Maguire out of the picture, really intelligent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Begbie Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 That run and block of the man utd player on Willocks goal was genius. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 It has already been mentioned but his off the ball running has been superb lately. He’s either been getting goal contributions or his running has directly resulted in creating space for our goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 He can definitely play up front for us if needed. His workrate occupies the central defence and we always have runners from midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 His role in making space for Willock’s goal has been mentioned, but his diagonal run drawing away the centre half for Almiron’s hasn’t.

Hanshithispantz Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Even for Hall's goal it was his backing into Maguire which caused the shite headed clearance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
