Beyond the goals he was much more involved in the overall play today. Especially during the middle portion of the match.

Encouraging development!

Seems the kid is taking his opportunity with both hands.....great to see and very welcome.

We have to temper our expectations here. He’s had the odd invisible game, like Spurs. This is entirely normal at his age.

All the signs are there, he could be a monster. Elements of Ronaldo and Fernando Torres in him for sure.

For the Spurs game I put that down more to us not being able to move the ball better. We had Mendy and Ake who aren't as good in possession as Cancelo and Laporte. He didn't get much service because Spurs were pressing only when the ball crossed the halfway line, winning it and countering. With Torres though you can see he's a finisher. Everything I've seen from him is he knows where the back of the net is. He just needs chances to bury it.

Agree with temper the mood comments. He can do it against the average and poor teams but hasn't shown that potential yet against a big teams or more accurately a decent centre back pairing. Was disappointed in the Leicester cup game too. He might get another chance in two weeks.

Great to see his movement highlighted on Match of the Day. The more he plays, the more confident he will become and the more others will become used to the movements he will make. A good performance from a great prospect.

 

[SWP's back]

The thing I like most about him is that he’s always expecting the mistake by the defender. He’s on his front foot/his toes which is exactly what we need.

List of “world class” strikers who only do it against average and poor teams:

Suarez
Kane

Hes quietly going about his business. Im not convinced hes the answer yet but if he keeps bagging then i’ll look forward to being proved wrong

Guess if he played 30 games this season he would get 20 goals. I am quite happy to go with what we have got.
