Best performance from him yet, very good with the ball, I like how he can use both feet at passing and twist and turn to get out of a press of the opposition, will be a great player for us

I don't think he's ever had a BAD game for us. He's had his moments, but he's young and adapting to a new country in a hard position, not to mention that he's been given game time against teams that are always likely to give him a hard time (Lower league brute clubs)
Definitely seems streets ahead of CCV and I'd rather he played centre half then Dier. He was arguably MOTM today in what was a poor performance all round

Got very high hopes for him. Think he'll be the one that takes over from Verts when his legs inevitably go. My man if the match today
I really like him but thought his first half was a bit hit and miss. 2nd half don't recall him putting a foot wrong. Both him and Jan striding out of defence with the ball at their feet I could watch that all day.
As for his first half I'll cut him some slack because he was playing next to Frodo, poor unfortunate bastard. Frodo doesn't want the ball when Foyth was on it, not showing for it or creating good enough angles. Plus when Frodo's on the ball and put under pressure the oppo are straight through, Frodo keeps him busy that's for sure.

My MOM today. Refused to be hurried even with some big lumps after him. I like this lad.
What are you basing that on? He absolutely bullied Andy Carroll in the League Cup.
Well he is only 19. He'll grow into his body some more
My thoughts as well.
I like his ball playing skills but I don’t have any confidence in him winning a header.
Apparently he's 6'2" (actually, all of our CB's are 6'2"), so I think he'll be fine in the air. Definitely skinny for a CB, but he's only 19. I was one of those who was hoping we would sign him so I'm glad he passed and tackled well yesterday. Also, is he two-footed? I thought he was right footed, but noticed yesterday that he took a shot with his left, so he must have decent confidence with his weak foot.
Based on my eyes mostly - you can't look at him at the moment and think he is physically developed enough to start prem league games against physical front men. Carroll is slow and lazy so it's no surprise he had things his way on the day. Not slating the kid but he has a lot of work to do physically if he wants to be a premier league starting centre back, which he can certainly achieve.
He only needs to gain a lot of muscle mass and experience. But the talent is all there.
Not listed in the updated PL squad yet Janssen and GKN are...
Where are you looking? PL show the opposite:

Typo lol. Meant CL squad.
Alas it’s now been rectified. Our CL squad yesterday on UEFA.com had Janssen and GKN but not now lol
Looked very good against a physical side tonight
Every time he's played I think he's taken a smack in the face, same tonight. He's stood up well, as understandably the CF chooses to stand on him rather than Verts or Toby. The only time he has looked suspicious is when playing alongside Sanchez but with experienced CB/FB's arround he look cool calm on the ball. He's a mixture of Vertonghen (stepping up with ball at feet) and Toby (good 1 v 1), only week area I'd say it's in the air, he doesn't jump that high and has a tendency to head up in the air rather than away. Very pleased with him, baller.
