Pablo Maffeo - 2016/2017 Performances

[Blue Llama]

imagine what he would be like playing in a full strength team

How strong do you want him to be? There were times last night when he was holding off Pogba at 6 foot 4 and Shaw who is no light weight. He is fully fit and on the few performances we have seen is a better defender than the traditional choice right backs. Zaba is and will always be a legend at City but time moves on and its time this lad was given a run. The sooner he gets used to the physical side of the game the better and cloggers don't last long with refs now.

No f*cking wonder he looked knackered at the final whistle, he had Rashford in his pocket for the whole game an still found time to piss on Pogba`s chips, head and shoulders MOTM with no reservations the lad will be a regular in the first team pretty soon

Doesn't always work but exposure can sometimes give the required development.

Rashford is a case in point. From what I read, he wasn't a stand-out player in the junior ranks but look how he took his chance.

Look forward to seeing Maffeo get more game time and pleased Pep's first after-match job was to give him recognition.

Seen this lad play with a real under strength side and thought he wasn't bad.
Saw him last night with more experienced players and he was well up to the task.
I'd go as far to say, i think we will see a lot more of him at RB, this season.

I hope he starts on Saturday.

True. Some woman in work had her lad on the Rag youth team, who is now plying his trade in the first division - decent player. He reckons Rashford was decent, but not as good as some others. However when the time came to give someone a game due to injuries, some of the better youngsters were out on loan, so they went with Rashford. Worked out quite well for the lad.
