Found it a little hard to place his performance. He had a hand in both goals, and generally posed a big threat going forward, but felt like his over-eagerness to shoot took some points away from him. Maybe a little lackluster defending for Brentford's equalizer, not sticking closer to the crosser, but the draw isn't entirely his fault.

Overall, he did well I'd say. Exciting player and will get better from here as he matures.

Unfortunately the fact he didn't pass to Haaland and then didn't get tight enough to stop the ball coming in means he shoulders a lot of the responsibility for the draw. But having said that, he was excellent otherwise and we probably wouldn't have been 2-0 up without him.

He's young, it's a good lesson for him regarding how competitive the league is and how you can't switch off for a moment. He's undoubtedly keen to score goals and prove himself, but he's got to remember it's about the team winning first and foremost. At 3-0 up then by all means be a bit selfish but the game was still in the balance and he needed to be a bit more composed.

Nail on head. He practically invited that cross. Absolutely deplorable. If he defends like that on a regular basis, any good work he does comes to nought.
 
Going forward he is looking like he will take off , just needs to improve some of his decision making but can see him getting amongst the goals and getting plenty of assists. Defensively if he does not start to stay focused and work harder he will be gone - given his age I expect him to be given a couple of seasons to improve his overall game. Think it would help several players if we had a real leader out on the pitch but with Dias and Rodri out we seem to be lacking someone who can pull the team together rather than just capitulate.
 
Rumors of a swap deal with Rodrygo for Savinho are growing. A Brazilian journalist says that the player's agents will go to Europe next week, but he doesn't go into details.

Why would we do that ? Savinho will be better than Rodrygo.

There are rumours about anything and everything on social media, nearly all thinly sourced. 99% aren’t worth clicking on, let alone repeating.

There's growing rumours going around that I'm having an affair with Margot Robbie. I planted them and I've never knowingly been within a mile of her but both rumours have equal credibility.

he needs to improve his off the ball game but quite young to do that if he puts his mind to it. he is learning each training session. but has some drive to get end product from the wing which we need so much. hope it rubs onto other wingers and they want to do the same now.

Yes he does.
All 11 players need to defend out of possession. He hasn't grasped that yet.
Apart from that his potential is very exciting
 
Decision making in the final 3rd is that vital vital skill him and Doku need to improve on.

Once that improves, you will see much better wingers.
