Checko Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Looks like he's auditioning for Saint-Maximan: The Early Years. Nice he's got his debut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Barely even worthy of comment really given his age and stature, other than to say it was nice he was able to get a chance. Hope he has a great career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Looked lively on the left then barely touched the ball switching to the right. Hope we get an easy game in the 4th round and we can see more of Sanusi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Needs to play more regularly with the seniors, understand the system, it was clear he wasn't taking up positions correctly, but it all comes with time, and his potential is huge. Pleased for the lad getting minutes, reminded me when Sammy was first introduced, he looked like a rabbit in the headlights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Certainly lost the ball alot but I'm sure Howe knew that was going to happen. Was trying to do much on the ball in an effort to make an impression. It's understandable. Clearly not ready for anything but these kind of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he has a great career. Yeah,seemed to try to force things a bit but not a surprise in the circumstances and was just trying to take his chance. Not going to put much stock in the performance overall, best of luck to him in building on this opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Thought he was about 20 so relieved to see he's only 17 and plenty of time to develop. Send him on loan somewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Very, very raw. Clearly fast, but technically not good at all in that his 'feints' to beat a man seemed to knock the ball about 3 yards away which meant he normally then lost it. Needs to learn tighter close control, and needs to also be able to get his head up and be aware of who is around him because often he'd get the ball and then be unable to release it because he couldn't shake the idea that he had to skin his opponent every time. Which would normally end with him losing it, as per the previous paragraph. At 17 though, it's not a massive concern at this stage but he needs to become a much better footballer to complement the raw speed and flair that he clearly possesses.

Bit harsh to say he is technically not good at all. From what I gather at youth football he is technically very good with an end product at the end of it. He was probably shitting himself today and not playing his usual game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Chelsea or Arsenal would be getting £20m off the back of that performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tche Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The way he moves reminds me of Eze, needs a good loan to develop that playing strength, and learn when to pass and when to best a man. Looks a very good prospect though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Went into business for himself too much, forgivable at his age but you'd think we'd be drumming that out of players coming through. Would have been more impressed with some simple passes to feet than attempted tricks Edited January 12 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I don't mind him having the confidence to take a player on and trying to make thing happen, they experienced guy on the other side was doing neither. He does look raw and i think he would do great if we loan him out to a decent euro club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd take, his touch and technique was fine, he was just physically outmuscled. Not really a surprise he's a slight 17 yr old ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Looked very small and lightweight and like he had slippers on. Fell over a lot. Has a nice turn on him and looks quick. He did seem a bit overawed by it all. He had a few times with loads of space to run into and one on one with a defender. But never seemed to want to attempt anything.
