Do you mean that Edwards' balance is more important than having strength?
He looks to be easily dispossessed and not all that exciting.
Winks is the youngster I've been impressed by.
I believe balance will get you a lot further than having strength. Yes.
Edwards is 18. He's 3 years younger than Winks yet on the cusp of the first team. 3 years ago Winks hadn't even been talked about and Pochettino was Southampton manager.
Anyway this is the Onomah thread and we can all pretty much agree he's looking like a nothing player right now.
He must be fantastic in training to get these chances in the first team. Whenever I've seen him, he's been pretty ononomaous.
I'll get my coat

As a number 8 I presume?
not sure mate but it looks like it. here's the team:
1 Freddie Woodman (Newcastle),
2 Jonjoe Kenny (Everton),
3 Callum Connolly (Everton),
4 Lewis Cook (Bournemouth),
5 Fikayo Tomori (Chelsea),
6 Jake Clarke-Salter (Chelsea),
7 Josh Onomah (Tottenham Hotspur),
9 Adam Armstrong (Newcastle),
10 Dominic Solanke (Chelsea),
16 Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton),
18 Kieran Dowell (Everton)
Here's Josh onoMAAH. He loved saying that
To be fair he should feel pretty gutted he hasn't had a few assists there, Lookman should have banged them in!
Sadly that advantage is wiped out when playing senior teams. He'd simply bounce off a player like Big Vic, Yaya and a lot of midtablers cloggers
He struggles to establish a presence when he plays for our first team. I hope im proven wrong and that he's a success, but I'll be shocked if he's still with us when we enter the new gaff.
6.1???????
You're shitting me?
To my eyes he's been 'little' Josh for some time now!
Comes accross as such a timid chap too.
I also don't think he'll make it at our level, but I hope I'm wrong and I may be because he is very young still. I'm not sure what kind of player he is yet, what his game is, he seems to have bits like a few of our players but nothing all that distinct where you can say for sure what he brings to the table. At the moment. We'll see.
Indeed. As per above shocked about his physical stats, but in some ways makes it even more worrying that that doesn't translate to 'presence' on the pitch.
He hasn't impressed me either during the cameos as an AM for us, due to his lack of offensive sharpness, but that can probably be quite easily explained by the fact that he's more of a CM/DCM-style player and not an attacking mid.
I am rarely impressed by youtube highlight reels or U20-performances, but I have to say that performance against Argentina seemed top class. His style probably relies on being stronger/a better athlete than his opponents, which is probably why he'll need to grow up a bit more and add some more muscles before really impressing for us.
Give him some time, learning from Dembele and Wanyama and Dier, and he'll become magnificent.
