I watched that game & this is exactly what I thought.
He basically couldn't hit a bulls arse with a banjo for most of the game & you could see he was really pissing himself off more & more.
He was absolutely determined one would go in though & the goal he scored, I thought was just great, like an old 70s Rodney Marsh or Frank Worthington style goal, surrounded by defenders & holding them all off. They weren't wussy, weak defenders either, they were proper blokes. Then a Paul Dickov style 2nd.
I think we have really got something here. He has no obvious areas where you can see anything extra he would need. He's got brains, real skill, pace, confidence, workrate & scores goals, 6 ft tall. I can't think of anything similar at 17, Rooney in a different way I suppose. And just as aggressive.
Seeing him on a day where he was fucking hopeless in front of goal & seeing his attitude to get out of it, was better than him scoring an easy 5 imo.
He must be worth some first team experience off the bench, even if he struggles, he will fight. He even looks as if he'll be a player if he's not prolific at scoring, he's a footballer.
If he suddenly loses it & doesn't make it, then fair enough, but if he plays like this & City ignore him, after giving other players so much game time, I'm finished with it.
