Hoping he does well, you never really know how a player will make the jump to this level

I remember in the last couple of games of the Euros, he basically become a passenger towards the end and rice was carrying him, it’s pretty noticeable if you watch those games back. I don’t think that was really anything to do with his ability, I think possibly the mental fatigue of being way above anything he’s been at before in terms of stage and pressure and everything. The reality is that he probably wouldn’t have been a starter then if Henderson was fit.

Well, I mean he probably wouldn’t have started above Henderson due to experience if Henderson had been fit. That’s not to say he can’t become a better player. But I think the occasion of going deep into an international tournament on that scale really showed in him as the tournament went on.

Just an observation that’s all, because I was saying not every player with talent can just jump up to the highest level and play well
consistently with so much expectation to win, but hopefully he will with us.
