Anyone got a stat for his passing yesterday. Don't remember him giving it away. Not sayin it didn't happen btw just curious as to how many times he did give it away.

He gave it away two times in a kind of an 'easy' situation when Kolarov was overlapping, which was a shame as those were good counter attacking occasions. I think he still needs to improve his passing when he's in full flow, so it's nost his finishing that let's him down obviously. But he's 20, I have no worries. His pace against Ivanovic was still a highlight.

The lad is finding his feet with new team mates and a new system, give him time as he will be incredible.

As many have said he has altered our attacking balance just by being out there and allowed Merlin and Kun the space they need to weave their magic.

Imagine KDB along side as well and a team trying to mark all 4 of them out of a game.

Impossible :-)

I thought we were buying him to sit on the bench though?

Dude is a game changer when on the field. His pace and presence give this team something extra, something different, something they didn't have last season. He's still very young and he should only get better the more reps and experience he gets with his teammates and in this system.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

I think they lied ;)

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

Scares the shit out of the opposition and he is allowing Silva and Aguero far more freedom. He is the perfect foil for those 2.
When he has fully found his feet, we are going to be capable of achieving unbelievable things.

Quiet game yesterday and Monday BUT because teams are shit scared of him and marking him out the game it frees up space for Silva and Navas.

He doesn't have the understanding of Yaya, Silva and Nasri yet, but in time his interchange work will improve. His speed puts defenders on their heels and once he has faced up a defender all he needs to do is push it past him and take off. Too bad he is a bit of a flopper, as it is the worst part of his game and makes him look young and naive when he does it. Needs to stay on his feet as much as possible so he doesn't get a rep, before it's too late, because he could be the source of many a free kick and possibly pens this season.
