He will only get better, well done lad.

he played against foden in the u17 2017 world cup, thats how young he is

 

[MCFC1993]

Good 2nd half from him, he'll improve.

Sticking to my 'don't judge a player in their first 12 months under Pep' mantra.

 

[Gumzy97]

Looked like the Torres i saw playing for Valencia today.

 

[DATOIA]

He has very uncomfortable situation in terms of playing time and positions, but he scores and scores anyway..
I think he will start to bring more contribution - starting from the the next season..

 

[OB1]

We bought him for a reason.

 

[ninjamonkey]

So much talk of his future lying upfront. Just don't see it. I agree he's looked better as a number 9 at present but he's going to be third choice there in a position Pep doesn't even have 1 on the pitch most of the time. Having an extra option upfront is nice but he was bought as a winger and he has to be so much better as a winger. Looked more confident once he got his goal. I suspect he will play every league game for the rest of the season, needs to show what he's got in those games.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Played well today.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

His pressing and tracking back are very underrated, in addition to his attacking attributes. I really like him

 

[TravisBickle]

Played well today.

Yes he did.
Some in the matchday thread need to hang their heads in shame though.
Nothing new there I suppose!

 

[Don Karleone]

Played well. Looking forward to seeing him when he has a run of games under his belt.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

His best game for us today. The first time I’ve seen him look better than bang average. Took his goal superbly and even went on a couple of surging runs downfield. Plus he used the ball really well. Good stuff

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

He is 21 years old. He cost us £20.7m and is currently valued at £45m on transfermarkt. He has already played for Spain 10 times, scoring 6 goals. In 6 Champions League appearances he has scored 4 goals.

Is that potential enough for you ?

And, yes, I do mean that Sergio. If you open your eyes and watch what happens when he gets in front of goal you might see It for yourself.

With you for the first 4 lines. The last 2, not so much!

He's far more than bang average.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

He's far more than bang average.

He hasn’t looked anything special at all until today IMO. Today though I thought he really had a zip about him. Great to see

 

[jamesha]

He seems very disciplined and tbh I have sometimes got frustrated when he has not gone on a run when in a good position. He did this a bit in the first half today. Normally coaches struggle to curb young players attacking instincts but Ferran seems to be listening to Pep about tactical discipline aand patience.

Second half he was great. Apart from the goal my main highlight was when he stopped the ball for Cancelo to shoot - shame that it went wide.

He showed today that he deserves his place in the squad.

I beg to differ but there's no doubt he has been settling in, in addition to coping with two bouts of COVID.
