Imperious after a shaky first 5-10. Surprisingly good upper body strength/balance to hold off challenges and wriggle away from opponents. Magic left foot which is also a great alternative at set pieces.
 

At one point I saw a blondie dashing back to mark his man, stopping Muric potentially starting a Burnley counter, and because of the pace involved assumed it was Gordon but looked again and it was wor Lewis. He’s not at Tino levels yet but not far off considering Tino has a lot more first team experience. 
 

Think we all knew he had qualities going forward especially after his goal v Man U but he has allayed some doubts about his defensive abilities today.

Shaky first 5 minutes where he got caught in possession and started a Burnley attack from a poor throw-in, but he is brilliant.

Thought he was absolutely class, lovely ability on the ball in most areas, long and short passing, receiving under pressure, fairly good at carrying as well


It’s almost like Howe knows what he’s doing with him. Classy on the ball, can attack, just needs to develop his defensive side and develop naturally over time.

Tbf he’s only playing because there are no other senior options. 
 

I think we’ve seen why Howe was hesitant to put him in. We’ve also seen why we’ve spent so much money on him.  He has bags of talent. But he needs to develop his game. 
 

Glad he had a wonderful game.  This run of games will do him wonders.

Yeah agreed and will be interesting to see what happens next season. Like do they get an experienced LB and rotate him with Hall? What happens with Targett etc?

Today he finally looked like the player we thought we signed.

 

This is what happens when you get games. Understand he had defensive work to do, both him and Eddie have said as much, but also feel we've held him back too long. 

 

Next season, he's a proper option.
