I just don’t see it with this kid.

The way he runs with the ball, the way he always cuts back. He’s improved off the ball slightly.

My concern is that, in terms of trajectory, I don’t see the basic skill set that is going to be built upon.

Was the least of our problems today, he's been told to play EXTREMELY wide, tried to come in and get involved a bit more and was told by Ange to get back on the touchline.

He was then put at centre forward when Son went off when it's obvious he's not a centre forward.

Same with me mate. Yes, he's improved a bit recently, but he's very basic. Hasn't got any tricks, jinks or guile which top wingers have.

That’s fair. And certainly not suggesting he was the main concern today. He’s been better the past few weeks.

We’re just so desperate for genuine quality in the final third.

We desperately need our defenders and goalkeeper to pass the ball forwards more quickly so that we don't give an opportunity for the opposition to retreat and regroup. THAT is our biggest problem now. What can the top 3 do when the opposition has already defended in numbers?

Romero and Vic are the 2 biggest culprits with their STUPID slowness in releasing the ball forward
 
Best of a bad bunch in attack today. Wasn’t amazing but at least he tried to get at them. One of the few who can hold their head high today.

this best sums it all up.

think he can be a weapon if hes coming off the bench in a game where the oppo has to press up and come onto us to try and chase a game. but against sides happy to contain us hes not going to offer much, doesnt have the guile. pretty much like the rest of the front line.

50m youd think youd be buying a footballer that would be out of this world, technique, I.Q, sharpness....instead you get someone who can run fast..... sad

Being constantly short of HG and club trained players is really starting to hurt us and limit our choices. Levy is so fucking frustrating.

He did okay but he's Mr Basic. Simply not threatening enough for the way we want to play.

Pretty much, think he's a good PL player and his speed and solid end product make
him a good squad option, but he's nowhere near the kind of player that has you competing for top honours as a starter.
