Aleix impressed me again last night. Despite his age and lack of experience, he does look very at home in this team whenever i see him play. It was good to see him try to be a bit more progressive with his passing and encouraging that one the one occasion i do remember him giving the ball away, he was very quick to win it back.
I think we could have a real player on our hands if we can keep finding opportunities to give him some game-time. Hopefully we get an easier draw in the next round of the FA Cup which would enable us to play him from the start without it seeming too much of a risk. I think it makes sense to keep trying to get him on the pitch for some experience once games are relatively safe, but at some point before the season is out, i'd hope to see how he fares in more testing circumstances. He won't really ever break through into the team for real until we know we can count on him under pressure, but i'd say his willingness to get on the ball every time he plays shows good signs and his technique seems pretty flawless.
