Still very much playing within himself. Lack of confidence? Wish he had a bit of what Hall has, he’s capable of picking the ball up and running through gaps.

I think the disconnect is what people thought he was going to bring to the team and what Howe knew he'd bring to the team.

 

He was always just going to be a less bullish version of Big Joe but much more tidy and better user of the ball. And he'll eventually pop up with a similar amount of goals to Joe I'd imagine. But he'll keep the ball moving around the pitch and put in some miles while doing it.

It's only because it was a cup tie and the game opened up, this guy is shit and made of glass. Rinsed by Villa. 

 

Joelinton replacement my arse, this guy couldn't lace Joelinton's boots. Probably break his back trying. Weak as piss.

He was decent in the first half, anonymous again in the second.

 

Thought his energy levels and pressing were good in the first 45, passing was tidy, without really offering a lot of threat again. 

 

He's growing on me but still has a long way to go IMO.

He hides, he pops it off then runs away in between players. Wasn't like that at Villa but he's shirking responsibility here. 

You couldn't be any more wrong. Sad that you dislike him so much.

He was better on Saturday in the deeper, more central role. Got on the ball more. But it was still good to see him coming short for it and demanding the pass. It was the best he’s been defensively, for sure. 


Promising that he’s had two positive games on the spin. Hopefully he can kick on from here. As the usual midfield 3 will need rotation and Miley is needed at right back. 
 

Based on the last two games. I’ve no issue with him starting and wouldn’t be worried if he was.

Demanding the ball of the CB’s. Trying to make things happen, losing it and then getting back in to win it back = hiding. 

Righto.
