[gman07]

So far I like what I`m seeing. He has alot of potential and its really good that he build up his experience on the pitch

 

[Irishblue93]

Really impressed with him

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He's never going to be a midfielder, priority was to rest key players and he gets experience on the pitch wherever it is, win-win.

We won't know what his chances are of making it here until he fills out, he hasn't developed into a man yet, he needs to have a substantial growth spurt and fill out before he can have a top class career. Fantastic experience for him in the meantime whilst we wait for that to happen, doesn't need to do anything flashy at this stage, just needs to be reliable and he hasn't done anything wrong so far.

I was surprised that he didn’t go to full back though and Gomez move forwards with Akanji swapped sides.

 

[jollylescott]

I think it’s a very good sign that Pep plays him so much. Clearly he rates him very highly.

The 5 sub rule is fantastic for our young players. They are gaining so much experience because we are getting on top of other teams so quickly.

So was I, called Bernardo coming off but like you, expected gomes to go into midfield, Lewis right back and everyone shift over in defence.

I'm glad it didn't happen though I think it's important Gomes gets as much time as possible at left back, we've got 2 senior fullbacks and one seems to picking up injuries a lot more often as he ages, he needs to be ready quicker than we probably expect him to be as he's going to be needed this season.

100% agree. It can only help Rico too. He wasn’t brilliant today, but as a lesson, it was invaluable.

Its rare for pep, specially citys pep to give so many minutes to such a young kid, he must like him a lot

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

I really like this little fella

 

[FantasyIreland]

Confidence is growing and he most definitely doesnt look out of place.

Love his steel.
