Pleased for him , he won the penalty with some clever footwork and was always available for a pass , his one touch play is obviously why Pep bought him ,the only downside is he should have had a hat-trick , he couldnt finish a good breakfast :)

 

[kenbelly]

He’s got great ability and presence to get around the pitch quickly, he just needs to work on his focus and composure for passing and shooting. I think he will blossom under Pep.

 

[Haaland94]

He has so much raw potential. Every game he plays he displays a lot of moments of brilliance. Whether it's an assist, a great though ball, some impressive run, he's got lots of talent. He just needs to learn how to play the City way because he doesn't as it stands, but I am 100% sure he will become a starter for us eventually.

 

[Barcon]

Decent game tonight and better than previous. I saw something in him tonight that I hadn't seen before.
I'm sure he'll be an important player for us.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

Liked him driving forward, could be an asset
Needs to take more care of his final pass

 

[city warrior]

This will be harsh, but I think he is one of the least intelligent players on the pitch. He has some good attributes in his physicality and dribbling, but I don't think his decision making, positioning or tactical awareness will ever be goo enough for our team.

 

[oldius]

Just out of curiosity, how many more minutes?

I think any kind of proper analysis could begin after about 900 minutes of play. Even using that figure, there are many who would have condemned players like Rodri and Gundo as likely never good enough for us.

 

[bluegaz13]

Early days but he is nowhere near the level of our other midfielders both technically and intelligence wise.

He is also very careless with the ball…..something Pep won’t tolerate.

I’m hoping he is just overawed and that Pep can work his magic.

He has a long way to go before he's at the level we need. Early days though but not sure yet what he brings .

 

[WallyA]

As raw as they came, clearly physically and technically gifted.

The problems we are seeing are just a lack or concentration and chemistry to understand exactly what he needs to do.

Once his brain almost automatically understands what is needed, concentration becomes easier, and your ability shines through.

There is a future Pep player here.

The only thing im unsure about is his best position in the midfield box, part of the deeper 2 or top 2?

I think his attributes are so good, itd be a waste if he cant become close to Rodri in style. We have much better players to play in attack for the future.

His positioning and movement are impeccable. Decision making on the other hand can use some refinement. He moves into advantageous positions effortlessly. He like Erling just needs more quick early releases by teammates to take advantage of their movements.

 

[Keeper!]

Top quality, he will become a top player at the club in time.

 

[Plain Speaking]

Some positives nice skill to draw the penalty and a good surging run from deep. However he will be disappointed he didn't do more against poor opposition with 10 men for a significant period. He got the lowest City player rating in both City Xtra and BBC player scores. He's trying hard to make an individual impression, he needs to show more composure in his shooting, passing and decision making.

 

[PolarBearCub]

Not going to slate him but think I'm expecting more TBH. Could be another Kalvin Philips type transfer.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

He was poor last night, quite quite dissapointing expecially since he had opportunities. Benefit of doubt for a few games then I will see..

 

[Crooked_rain]

I don't know. Pep gives him more game time already, which seems like he sees some real potential there and I think he can be a good player for us if that's the case.

The Phillips one just hasn't seemed to work out from day one.

Agree with you. He gave Philips chances at the start as well though. Lets hope its another Grealish/Rodri/Sterling binding in time solution. Those didn't turn out too bad after bad starts.

 

[Norman kneejerk]

Some decent touches but looked a bit short of class at times.
What concerns me with buying him is the opportunity cost of not signing say a Paquetta who.looks an entirely different level so in that way it's blocking another very good player from.coming in.
Makes me wonder if he might be a stop gap.signing who moves on in a year or two. Would be delighted to see him blossom but got a lot to do imo

 

[supercity88]

I still don't see anything more than I saw at Wolves - a jack of all trades and master of none. Strong, quick, technically excellent but tends to take too many touches and lacks a final ball. The basic attributes are there and in time I think he can be a very good player for us.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Was better than previous games but still a way to go. The boy has some skill for sure but isn't yet at a standard to match our need for quick accurate passes into feet of player who is marked. Too slow sometimes, gives the ball away others. Shame he didn't slot his chance as it would have helped his confidence.
