Absolutely mate he will be a great player for sure. The step up is huge though and he’s only just turned 18 as you said, I think when you look at how much Xhaka and Sadiki are influencing games compared to Rigg it’s monumental. That’s not a dig at the boy it’s how good the other two have been but at this level we need everyone performing like that. He only had 20 odd touches of the ball on Saturday, less than even Isidor iirc. Nearly half of his passes he gave the ball away, two right on the edge of the box and the first they should’ve scored from really. Not singling out Rigg though it’s expected of a young lad in his first PL season, Traore was really poor all game and looked half arsed at times he wasn’t challenging for the ball or tracking back. Another that we can’t carry if he’s going to be performing like that. We just don’t have that luxury as a team that’s newly promoted. Most weeks we will be up against a midfield 3 and we need all 3 of ours at the races we can’t afford to carry anyone unfortunately.
