Yeah just looked him up, see he is only 19. Just might need a bit of protection from the more experienced lads, seems like with the ref, people like to take the piss with the kids.

He handled himself really well in the Prem last season. Wise head on young shoulders. At times he was carrying our team. Along with smith-Rowe

I hope not. I’d like to see us build the team around our young players next season. The likes of Tierney, Saliba, Willock, smith-Rowe, Saka and Martinelli.

There’s no Europe for us next season, so I’d like to see our young players given a chance without any expectations. Let’s see what they can do.

Willock looked a big talent at Newcastle if he's handed the chances. Maybe a full season on loan at a Prem club a bit better than cannon fodder like my good friends in black and white to see if he can do it over a full season and it wasn't just a purple patch he had?

He's shown it in patches for us, but he found some consistent form with Newcastle and really showed what he can do. He's more a type of midfielder who runs onto balls and creates chances, so he's going to be behind Saka and Smith-Rowe who are ball playing creative midfielders.

I really want to see what he can do for us next season, because as woeful as we were last season, we've managed to bring on a crop of brilliant young players.

Edit : Behind Saka and Smith Rowe in terms of selection I mean.

Not sure why our defence was going backwards and creating us problems.

Whats a bit disappointing about this for me is, england were already through right. even if they lost tonight So why not just tell the lads go enjoy yourselves and open it up, express yourself.

But nah.
