Sufi Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Always head up, composed and doesnt need many touches to control the ball. Making Longstaff-esque runs into the box but looks more dangerous and comfortable when he gets into those positions. We're very lucky to have this kid and his breakthrough has come at the perfect time with Tonali out and all the injuries. Looks way more experienced than he is. 17?! madness.

Whitley mag Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) Could feasibly field a midfield 3 of Miley, Longstaff and Anderson at some point, quite staggering when the academy has been shit and underfunded.

Really have to wonder if it has been as bad as claimed, or if the managers have just not been good enough using it and bringing players along.

Amir_9 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Calm and confident on the ball, does not look lost at this level. At 17 that is hugely encouraging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I’ve said it before but his touch, how he receives the ball off both feet and how he finds a yard of space is second only to Bruno. He’s a special talent who has also shown great vision too. Hard to predict exactly what lies ahead but he’s already easily good enough to start for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Thought he looked spot on tonight. He looks technically really good and has football intelligence was beyond his years.

alexf Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Really impressive. Doesn't look out of place at all and given his age that is a big deal. Those highlights above showcase the growing confidence the team have in him aswell and not afraid to give him the ball. That little reverse round the corner link up with Isak late on. Looked a damn sight more athletic today aswell, seems to eat up ground well with that long stride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, noticed this too Had a quick check and tonight he had 52 touches, completing 36 out of 40 passes Against Chelsea he had 38 touches, completing 25 out of 29 passes As a team we had similar amount of possession (416 passes Vs Chelsea and 432 Vs Man U) So the stats show he's on the ball a bit more, which supports the eye test that he's being trusted more and rightly so, as he's mostly making the right choice when he gets it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
