Elliottman Posted October 29, 2025 Share Posted October 29, 2025 Just now, sixx said: Very tidy. Does he have any outstanding attributes that I’m missing? Saw very little of him at Villa. We’ve not really seen him running from deep with the ball yet, probably more in away games. He’s going to be class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted October 29, 2025 Share Posted October 29, 2025 I thought he grew into it. Wanted to see more purpose and responsibility from him. Felt like it was often a touch out his feet. Then just a bad pass to someone else. Often putting them under pressure. At 2-0, he started finding all sorts of space and showed decent close control to keep it moving along. Got better and tidier as the game went on. Which is promising. Keep forgetting he has barely played for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted October 29, 2025 Share Posted October 29, 2025 Can't wait 'til he's fully fit and alongside Sandro and Bruno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted October 29, 2025 Share Posted October 29, 2025 I like how he's pretty much always in space in the final third Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaj Posted October 29, 2025 Share Posted October 29, 2025 He will get better, seems to just be doing the bare minimum at the moment (albeit pretty well). Once he’s fitter and more aligned with his teammates I think we will see more going forward from him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when recieving the ball hes great at moving it into space with his first touch. We had a couple of really nice passages of play involving him early in the first half, loved it.

kenlau88210 Posted October 29, 2025 Share Posted October 29, 2025 I think he is ready to take over the LCM spot from Joelinton. He is very much what we need alongside Tonali and Bruno. Very good on the ball, and good outlet for Big Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel he is playing safe and as I said doing it well but that there will be more to come from him in terms of stepping it up going forward. I am also impressed but just feel there will be a lot more to him which is exciting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo_11 Posted November 9, 2025 Share Posted November 9, 2025 A couple of moments today where he showed that he can run with the ball which indicates was likely supposed to be an upgrade on Joe Willock. Aside from that offered very little, but overall team performance was atrocious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
