Pilko Posted October 25, 2025 Share Posted October 25, 2025 Did well winning the ball to set Osula away for the winner. Passing is horribly slack, mind. He's even worse than Murphy in that regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted October 25, 2025 Share Posted October 25, 2025 I say this in the nicest way possible. I hope the only way is up. He's playing like sometimes his brain doesn't register what his feet are trying to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted October 25, 2025 Share Posted October 25, 2025 Today was the happiest I’ve been with him in the PL tbh. Probably not saying much but thought he made a big impact today along with Osula. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted October 25, 2025 Share Posted October 25, 2025 Appreciate the effort today which was needed but his lack of technical ability is really alarming, even for his chance wither he hit it right or left it was going but he ended up hitting straight into their player.

Probably not saying much but thought he made a big impact today along with Osula. All for positivity, but aside from his touch in the build up for the second goal and his running around, I thought he was pretty poor again tbh. He almost set them through on goal from the edge of their own box with one pass, it was so wayward. Crossing was poor too, and the "good effort" that he had that was blocked, he actually should've buried IMO. Really need to see more end product from him, at the moment he's miles behind Murphy for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorchyTBB Posted October 25, 2025 Share Posted October 25, 2025 Unfortunately, we currently have the Man U version of him, rather than the Forest version. He's been a total waste of money so far, but early days and time is on his side. Fingers crossed for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted October 25, 2025 Share Posted October 25, 2025 I see nowt in this lad to suggest he can even do the basics well. Seems like a nice lad and gives his all but it’s not enough unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 25, 2025 Share Posted October 25, 2025 Thought he looked bright and promising. In terms of energy and pace. Thiufht he has a could have decent crosses. But the slack passing and general lack of control often is genuinely alarming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenlau88210 Posted October 25, 2025 Share Posted October 25, 2025 Agree with most here that he was subpar today but fair play for crucially winning the ball which eventually led to the winner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted October 25, 2025 Share Posted October 25, 2025 The winner summed up his performance today. Brilliant interception, good run and then absolutely zero effort to keep himself onside. If that ball had been parried right rather than left, it would have been infuriating. Bright moments but very inconsistent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 25, 2025 Share Posted October 25, 2025 I wouldn't say he was great but he was decent with a few errors. Without him on we wouldn't have scored the winner, his pace was what knocked the ball free for Osula. He is obviously low on confidence but way too early to be writing him off.

Thiufht he has a could have decent crosses. But the slack passing and general lack of control often is genuinely alarming Agree, he was in a lot of good positions. I think the tone in here would be quite different though if we hadn’t won. So many opportunities before the goal were ending up at his feet and very few good things happened once he touched the ball. I believe but he should probably be our third choice RW right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted October 25, 2025 Share Posted October 25, 2025 He did have really solid games against Barcelona, Liverpool and Union St. Gilloise. Notable in games where we either counter attacked from deep positions or a weaker opponent. I think we need to trust EH that he will develop him to become successful in our system. Look at Gordon, Hall and Osula. All of them took time to adapt to the methods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted October 26, 2025 Share Posted October 26, 2025 I think we signed him with being part of an Isak or Ekitike Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody Posted October 26, 2025 Share Posted October 26, 2025 Think I’m just joining in with the masses here but thought he showed some speed but struggled to put in a decent cross. Was going to call him a rich man’s Obertan but that seemed harsh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
