Played okay. Think he had a couple of wayward passes in the first half (who hit the 3 iron across and out of bounds when an 8 would have done?), had an ill-conceived carry straight into opposition traffic, and mistimed a defensive header in the second half. Overall, no better nor worse than could be expected, but then he’s learning to play with new teammates on an almost continuous basis, and with fewer and fewer technicians now in midfield, it’s going to be even harder for him to shine.
 
Average first half, brilliant second half. Showed us what his best position is, and that he should play there.
 
He seemed more assured in the traditional CB role today.

At least one or two of the misplaced passes today looked like he was anticipating movement from a teammate - that didnt happen. I assume that’s just the new factor.

Also, do we think they told him to stay on the ground? That seemed unlike him. He’s usually one to pop up - heck he was available the game after that horrible broken nose. Just time to give everyone a breather?
 
Thought he really stepped up when we went down to ten men. It made me laugh when he thought he was being subbed when Forest's 24 (Serge Aurier) was being substituted.

The guy's demeanor and attitude are incredible for such a young player.

He already looks settled and very much part of this team and that is some achievement.

And he will only get better, going to be a wonderful player for us.
