Didn’t look particularly good with the ball at his feet. Almost every pass seemed a little off.
Not sure I trust him to carry the ball upfield yet.
Weirdly I thought the opposite, I thought he looked pretty progressive at the back and at no time when he had it I was worried. You can tell he is a good player and I can see him getting better. Better on the ball than I was expecting. Good scouting and signing.
Is he gonna be happy as a reserve?

Also, he will start plenty of matches next season when we're in Europe.People need to chill out with this crap.
No way on earth he was promised a starting role; so he came with his eyes open and up for a fight..... If he didn't he would have just signed for Munich and an easy life.
There's a body shape issue when receiving from Cuti or Vic that makes it difficult for him to find Udogie. It meant he mostly played back to Vic or Cuti which hurt our tempo. It was easier for him to find Timo than Udogie, which he did reasonably ok with on a few occasions. We actually started bypassing Radu a bit in the second half when playing out from the back, but that can't be the long term solution. Hopefully the body shape issue can be sorted out by the coaching staff.
Looked good when he took on his man and made attacking runs down the left, covered ground well and chose ok options at the end of the runs.
Yeah you're spot on, I'm just hoping he's young enough to learn some better ways of adjusting. Otherwise I'd rather be using Ben to cover Micky and Radu only for Cuti.It's called not playing on your natural side.

Get Micky to play in Romero's role and you will see the exact same issueThere's a body shape issue when receiving from Cuti or Vic that makes it difficult for him to find Udogie.
