[Tevez City]

Can he play as Left or Right back ?

Played RB for the EDS this year (inverting into DM)

He's a brilliant kicker of the ball. A bit of a strange thing to say about a professional but quite a lot aren't. Rico for example I would say has great balance, bravery and low centre of gravity but not a brilliant kicker of the ball.

Reminds me of Tommy Doyle excellent with a dead ball delivery corner and free kicks also takes pens for the eds

He really impressed me v Spurs. Did more in 15 mins than Gundogan has done since he came back. Hope Pep gives him some minutes when he can.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Looked good when he came on I thought. Doesn't seem like a kid, has a physical presence about him. Hopefully gets more minutes in this tough little period. I'm not expecting him to fill in for Rodri at his age but I do actually think he has the closest resemblance in style to him in the squad.

Yup. Difficult to judge in 20 mins or so but from what I saw I agree.

I’m very impressed with him, looks like a great prospect.

As for ‘good/bad kicker of the ball’, Sterling must fall into the ‘bad’ group. He regularly makes the oddest contact with the ball, amazed he hasn’t ironed this out of his game.

I liked his movement very much - always offering an outlet.

I don’t see what Pep has to lose by giving the likes of Wright a proper chance. Mcatee should start against Bournemouth and I would have Wright and Oreilly on the bench. If we’re struggling, throw them on to give us a bit of energy.
