He’s fucking rapid and can beat his man. I’m really excited about this lad. Decent start from him.

Cant be arsed reading back through, but are there seriously people slagging him off already?
We’ve always had a large section of support that’ll moan about all sorts. Main stand moaners.
There is probably no point in this thread until he’s had a few games. Unless you praise him enormously there seems little point in posting anything.
It was his first game. It showed. But it also doesn’t really matter that much, or mean anything. He hasn’t trained with us for long, and not at all with Pep.
A few glimpses, but probably tried a bit too hard - which is fine, and entirely understandable. Probably didn’t get me out of my seat as much as some players do on debut, but again, it doesn’t matter.
I did think in his 10 min cameo Bobb looked more accustomed to how the team plays, but he’s been training with them for 2 years or so.

He looked like the shape of a cell.Poor debut. Technically not a typical Guardiola type of player.

It could be said that both are still "settling" in.Yet again amazing comments for a lad that has been at the club for one week.
We paid 145 million pounds for two England Internationals and they are allowed a full 12/18 months "settling in" time, yet a young 21 yr old playing in what the same people call "the farmers league" is expected to perform from the off.
Incredible Jim, simply @ucking incredible!

Yeah, Grealish and Phillips never got any negativity on here in their first seasons.Yet again amazing comments for a lad that has been at the club for one week.

Be Careful the haters will be out, incredible the way certain players are protected , yet others are ripped a new one, actually it's utterly bizarre.It could be said that both are still "settling" in.
In Grealish's case, even he came out publicly and said his first season was poor, "far more difficult than I thought it would be" , yet his fan boys still were in denial. Delighted that he turned it around before and after the WC, but long overdue.
Phillips since his arrival has simply been stealing a living, his injury was unfortunate but that was over 6 months ago , yet people are still making excuses for him.
Was a fairly quiet debut, but that's only to be expected given his age and playing in a new team/league for the first time. Didn't help that the whole team were a bit off it, in the first half particularly. Showed glimpses of what he's capable of though, and am looking forward to seeing more of him. Nice to have a winger looking to take people on. Think he probably only started yesterday due to Grealish's injury, and can see him having more of an impact from the bench initially when defences tire and the game gets stretched.

He has good technical ability, he was understandably nervous. Doku was chosen to start ahead of Bernardo meaning he has shown a good level in training. Alvarez is not great technically but performs well and is improving why? Because of elite coaching.Nothing exciting today. Needs training sessions and also Pep talks. Technical ability isn't up to the standard we are used to either. So with Haaland AND Doku we have good counter attacking tools for a team that is rarely allowed to counter attack. Nor suited to our patient keep ball as they both don't hold the ball up as well as others.
I expect he'll make a terrific full back once we see he isn't quite there in the final 3rd. Good luck to the kid though.
You 'expect he'll make a terrific full back once we see he isn't quite there in the final 3rd. Good luck to the kid though.'
What a patronising and idiotic comment.
