My opinion only but he is the most gifted player I have seen come out of our academy / youth teams. He has everything you would want a modern footballer to have. By all accounts attitude and temperament are top class as well. For me he looks a number 8. Has to be in the middle of the park and has energy and can dig a bit. I would happily pay an entrance fee to watch him train. I hope we see a bit more of him second half of the season, perhaps deputising for Jobe every so often.
He is the best ive seen as well mate, love watching him play - love that hes technically really good but loves getting stuck in

Hopefully see him get more minutes as i think hes good enough to contribute this season

Yeah good shout. I think Jobe could do with coming out for a bit. Was like a rabbit in the headlights yday

Been saying this for a while - he really slows the game down. Often turning into trouble, or trying to run through players in a desperate attempt to make people think he is his brother. Needs to learn the simplicity of effective football. He's not a 10, that needs addressing. He was awful yesterday

I think he looks tired mate. He is a physical specimen but I think mentally we have asked a lot of him. Sometimes players need to freshen up their thinking and he looks like that is the case a bit. Mind you, we have been a bit erratic in where he plays. Hopefully we have given up on the number 9 gig and lets see him as an 8 or a 6.

Has everything to be a 6 or 8 like doesn’t he. Need to stop playing him further up the pitch.

He looked knackered about 15 from the end yesterday. Should have been off at that point to me. It’s great experience for him but he was tired because the opposition had the bodies of grown men not teenagers and were a level two above. He will be a belter but he’s being overplayed.
 
Same, hes such a good finisher that you want him close to goal but got great energy on him

Think he has to be used as an 8 or 10, not against playing him RM as think he could do a job

He cant play the 6 role just yet imo

I’d be developing him as a 10. His raw and most natural things lean into a 10 for me.

I disagree with saying play him deeper be aside he’s shown already his timing of runs into box and ability to finish.

He should in my eyes be coached on the 10 role. Runs, short passes and link up play.

Dont think it needs to be an experienced player, as long as its a player that can hit the ground running. Ideally it would be a ballard type player, someone young but has good experience already.

The key in January is signing players that can hit the ground running whether they are experienced or not. Therefore, i want british players so its quicker for them to settle in. Doesnt have to be someone with 100s of games under their belt as long as they are quality n can contribute now

Moore would be a cracking start

I think Jack Rudoni might be a shout , any views on him at all

I think this a great point. Miley came on for them and he’s playing in a team with experience all over the pitch and a great midfielder alongside him. Bellingham could come on and do that no problem but that’s not the case here he’s a young lad surrounded by other young lads

He doesn’t look like a great finisher and just too big to be a 10 for me he’s still growing too I think he could be our Rodri type player if we’re to play both him and Neil. Picking up the ball from the defence and playing it about, composed and good on the turn, puts a foot in but also gets up and down the pitch and offers that attacking threat when we’re dominating the ball.

He is so young mate we probably change our minds a few times, depending on how he goes physically.

I’m going off his fleeting first team minutes.
