[blue44]

My man done it again

what a player this lad is.

deserves the world and he's gettin it

 

[pbueno16]

Player of the season. Simply outrageous how he carries himself in high pressure moments at his age.

 

[01cravend]

He was good before but after going 2-1 he along with Bernie were just brilliant constantly winning the ball and relieving pressure

 

[domalino]

 

[Don Karleone]

He's too good

 

[oldius]

Lord above he was absolute quality today - a world-class performance.

 

[alexmcity]

He's crucial to the current system, as the opposition can't defend against him.

Might seem too much but for me he deserves to be nominated for the main POTY award.

 

[WallyA]

It was a tough choice, but I just picked him over Bernie for MotM.

At his age, doing what he is doing at LB.

I can't think of a better player in the world in his position.

 

[MrCapture]

Full of class. We’re so lucky to have him.

 

[Dazzle84]

Now I've been guilty of hyperbole on more than one occasion, but I genuinely think he could be the best player in the league in the next year or two. He's that good.

 

[David Silva]

This guy is 21. Incredible

 

[skillman]

So good. So, so good. Proper character.

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Brilliant everywhere he plays - thank god he didn’t go down the Palmer route and went to Chelsea

 

[ninjamonkey]

The weekly improvement is staggering. Couple of weeks ago a fair constructive criticism of him was that for a big lad. He hasn't yet learned to use that frame to his advantage like you see someone like Rodri do, fast forward a few weeks and youre seeing it already. Sky is the limit if he keeps showing this improvement. Nothing hampering him.

 

[freshie]

What

A

Player

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Absolutely manhandled Saliba when he tried to get involved in all that pushing and shoving.

I swear this guy is up for it any time there's a scrap unfolding.

 

[freshie]

He's crucial to the current system, as the opposition can't defend against him.

Might seem too much but for me he deserves to be nominated for the main POTY award.

He is the system

 

[spacecadet]

A generational talent, well done to all who have brought him through at City Academy.

 

[oldhamblue]

His twinkle toes today were exceptional more than once

 

[oldius]

He is a rarity - a physically imposing footballer with good technique and positional intelligence.
His humility makes him a real contender for world-class, IMO, because he is clearly willing to listen and to develop, taking each game as a chance to be better.
It is clear that he was raised well and has the personal qualities to be a great player and a great human-being. When it is also one of your own, it feels even more special, in my view.
