Really? Did you go? He looked alright from the cameras. Put his body on the line, took a beating, beat a charging Anichebe to a header, saved a goal with a last ditch block, made some important tackles, never let anyone past him, constantly got into good positions going forward yet seemed to get left out as nobody would pass to him.
Rose tinted glasses off. Yes, he did alright ... for a 17 year old plucked out of a development squad due to dire situations. He's a prospect, but he's not ready to be making PL starts. And he didn't need to today either. As said above, this was a game for Maguire, with Dawson and Davies to handle Anichebe (and Defoe). Moyes exploited it and it worked perfectly for them.

I think you're both right, he did everything we could have possibly asked of him and did a lot of things right but at times his inexperience showed and he was a little lightweight. It was a tough ask for him to mark Anichebe who has made a career out of wrestling defenders much bigger than Tymon. A better team would have exploited him more and I'd be worried putting him in against the big boys but overall it was a solid league debut and he certainly looks like he's got potential.
Wasn't great he was 100% out of his depth. He isn't even championship level yet. He's one of our own though so let's put blind faith in the lad and totally ignore his contribution to another UNACCEPTABLE defeat.
Except that would imply Phelan has some understanding of the game ... which is in direct conflict with all other available evidence.
He certainley showed promise, but he needs more development before exposing him to PL. The game screamed for 3-5-2 and Maguire. Move on, it's done now.
Hull City deal for Arsenal transfer target Josh Tymon edges closer please log in to view this image Josh Tymon is keen to commit his long-term future to Hull City as the highly-rated youngster continues talks over a first professional contract. Tymon, 17, became City's youngest ever Premier League player at the weekend when making his top-flight debut in the 3-0 loss at Sunderland. The latest step on a meteoric rise during 2016 has again triggered reports that Arsenal are monitoring Tymon's progress but the Mail understands negotiations are ongoing over a deal that would keep the left-back at the KCOM Stadium. No agreement has yet been reached but it is hoped further talks could bring a resolution inside the next fortnight. Tymon, as well as his family and representatives, are thought to believe an extended stay with City will best suit his development. The rookie defender has already started five senior games, including the Premier League, FA Cup and EFL Cup, and is hopeful further opportunities will follow under Mike Phelan. Interest from Arsenal, as well as Tottenham and Everton, has an obvious appeal but moving to a Premier League giant would offer no guarantees of first-team football. "There's no word on his contract as yet," said the City head coach. "I believe he's been offered one and it's now up to the powers-that-be, meaning the player and his agent, to think about where his future lies." National reports have suggested Tymon remains on as little as £150 a week, a figure dwarfed by the earnings of his senior City team-mates. The Tigers are willing to significantly increase the teenager's wages with their proposed deal but there is still a middle ground to be found before the England under-17s international commits his long-term future. Tymon ended a six-year wait for a City academy product to start a Premier League game on Saturday when he was given the nod at left-back. A performance that earned the praise of Phelan keeps the youngster in contention for this weekend's visit of West Brom and the City head coach is keen to see all of his youngsters seizing chances. "There's a talent there (with Tymon)," said Phelan, who also named Greg Olley as an unused sub and included 18-year-old midfielder Daniel Batty in his travelling squad. "There's a young man who's willing to progress at this football club. He's made a debut in the Premier League and he's got serious potential. "How we handle that is what we have to do going forward but I've got no problems playing young lads. "Jarrod Bowen came on again and he was bright and enthusiastic. He's showing a lot of desire. "We had Greg Olley on the bench as well and I was more than willing to put him on. "You have to use all your instruments at your disposal and we had a 19-man squad on Saturday with another young lad (Dan Batty) missing out. "Young players bring enthusiasm and bring hope. I don't think anyone can be disappointed with Josh Tymon or Jarrod Bowen as Hull City fans." http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/hull...9922566-detail/story.html#YIhEKp82GdfbEO4M.99
The lad sounds really mature and like he's got his head screwed on. Hopefully when the contract is sorted Curtis and Daws etc make sure the sudden influx of cash doesn't turn his attentions away from fulfilling his talent.
So do we reckon he'll start again tomorrow? Now he's been dropped in, you'd think a run in the team will be the best thing for his development. At least until Robertson is back.
it all depends on how he performs on the training pitch. He should be picked on form and not on sentiment.
He certainly should start in my view. No telling what genius selection and tactics Phelan will foist in us.
I dont agree, we are all getting carried away in the 'one of our own nonsense', he got bullied last week and would be targeted again.
