Contrary, in that he is apparently “predictable” with his cut in/far post move but is also unpredictable in his movement. Still don’t understand why they don’t interchange wings during a game. |

Something to consider with his crossing, there are numerous time he leads our attack, but he receives the ball from Bruno and Weighorst is 20 yards behind the play, who is he going to cross to? |

He’s very good at what he can do well - cutting in on his left and curling a far post effort. Defenders must surely suss that fairly easily but he still manages it tbf. He’s very poor at certain parts of his game - I can’t see how that’s even debatable. He swapped for part of last night onto the right and immediately landed two decent crosses. I’d like to see Erik have him do more of that. |

He, and Bruno I think, put a couple of decent crosses in last night and nobody was anywhere near them, because we’re not a team set up to cross the ball on fast breaks. Might change with a different forward in the middle of course. But he’s clearly not being told to get the ball into the box as often as possible.
His decision making is iffy at times, the smart thing to do was square that chance he had. A lot of other players would have backed themselves to pull off the spectacular there as well though. |

I suppose it comes down to what you expect and are satisfied with for a first season.
His fee was massive. We overpaid. I think we all know that, but that doesn’t have any effect on what actually matters. He’s 22 (23?). It’s his first season in a top league. Wingers are low percentage players as they’re always looking to make something happen. All those factors mean we’ll see moments that don’t come off, miscommunication with forwards, questionable decisions and moments where he simply struggles - because it’s a damn hard league and he’s a kid. What I want to see is talent, a resilience to keep trying things and output that justifies his inclusion - we’ve seen all of that. I’d be more worried if you couldn’t see the ability and he shrunk, but he hasn’t. There’s areas for improvement, of course, but none that can’t be attributed to still learning the game and settling into the league. When we talk about giving players time to settle in, this is it. |
