What a lovely lad he is, man

[huss9]

so he wasnt a ridiculous signing after all.

The speculation was "Eddie didn't want him", "Not playing him so not to trigger the obligation to buy". I admit I wondered why he was getting no minutes but he's class. Trust Eddie timed it right.

Couple of times today caught myself just being stunned at how quickly this lad has developed. Just the around composure and confidence in his game now compared to when he first got games. 

 

I was one of those perplexed why we weren't giving him a run during that injury crisis. I totally get in hindsight it looks like Eddie played a blinder, but perhaps he just needed a run to get up to speed like he eventually got later in the season. 

 

But even so, I didn't expect him to look this comfortable as our starting left back so quickly.

Genuinely believe he’s going to be of the best fullbacks in football

I don't know. It's probably a combination, but he wasn't this good when he was introduced to the team, which indicates that actually getting game time to build confidence and experience was a bigger factor in the success we see now.

Best left back in the league.

You still half to wonder what the benefit of him is with Ashby waiting in the wings.

What a lovely young chap he is. 
 

What a fucking quality football player he is and all.

His playing almost looks effortless, same with Miley. 

I'll not post my "England's full backs" post again 😂 but they may well be. 

They're very different in their styles, tho but, both excellent 

[ExiledGeordie]

Playing at such a high level and will only get better. I imagine he’s learned loads from Trippier.

Worth remembering to factor in the positive affect he'll, undoubtedly, have had on the two younguns. When people are missreprenting his time here, that is.

Finally a song!

I’m not buying this ‘Eddie played a blinder’. It was only injuries that made Howe start Hall towards the end of last season.   If Eddie had rightly introduced Hall 3-4 weeks earlier,there’s a good chance Hall goes to the euros. 
 

But alls well that ends well. Hall is an absolute baller and he’s cemented himself as a Howe purple.

I think both things can be true.

 

He clearly wasn't ready and we consciously left him out for that reason, however, yes at some point perhaps Eddie should have played him sooner and we may have reaped the rewards sooner.

 

Ultimately you don't know if they are ready until you test them and when your job is on the line, it's easier said than done.

 

He's class like.
