Fuck knows why.. He's very close to being the real deal..The lad gets a lot of undue stick on here but he keeps popping up with goals and assists .
Must be doing something right
Kept it up son !
They don't dare to post anything on this thread anymore but rest assured they will be back when his form dips.Glad the dumb cunts on here who decided to form their opinions on this kid far too early and scapegoat him are now being shown up.
Lesson - have some fucking patience with new signings.

If that was your assessment of his performance today then he has no chance proving you wrong tbh.Unpopular opinion it seems but I don't think he was that great today. I counted three occasions at the start of the first half where he should have played the ball up the line to the player making a run but either cut inside or turned back as he has no left foot and no outside of the right foot pass. Counted at least 4 times where he gave the ball away cheaply. Times as well where he just turned down a blind alley going to the left of his man then trickling a poor cross either to the side netting or to the keeper. The goal he scored was put on a silver platter for him and just happened to be in the right place not like it was a great run. Even the finish, he just stuck a foot at it rather than place the shot, the keeper still got a hand to it. Basically I still think he will prove to be not up to angeball in time. Hope he proves me wrong

Did you also count all the things he did well?Unpopular opinion it seems but I don't think he was that great today.

I'll hold my hands up and say I was wrong about his ability. However what I will say is what a lot wanted to see was a change in his effort off of the ball which was undeniably very poor. There's been a huge change in his off the ball work rate and his desire and he looks a different player right now. Took his goal really well today I thought.
