Tosin Adarabioyo - 2017/18 performances

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Quality tonight , never looked ruffled even when Steptoe came on , reads the game really well and has got pace , Pep did a good job on Boateng and Kimmich at Bayern hopefully Tosin will get to that level.

Showed tonight why the club has so much faith in him.

Was a big fan of his in the academy, last year I was a bit disappointed and thought he might just not make the step up.

This season though, particularly in the last 2 cup games, he's seemed a lot more comfortable with the speed of the game, and with that has come much better decision making in his passing and defending.

The potential there is huge - he's pretty quick, he's comfortable on the ball, he's 6'6'' and he's got a good eye for a pass.

When he fills out even a little he'll be a real unit, and presumably a threat at set-pieces too.

It's just a shame there's only 4 or 5 games like this per season, he really needs a lot more than that to see rapid progress. Hopefully after the semi-finals of the league cup (and/or a final) plus 1 or 2 FA Cup games, he might have come far enough to earn some Premier League games and he can progress from there, otherwise he'll have to go on loan I think.

filled me with a lot more confidence than mangala today. showed so much composure on the ball, probably more than bravo did.

guess that means we'll see mangala on the weekend then... sigh

 

[OB1]

He is starting to look like a real prospect but he is a log way from being John Stones.

Don't buy into the idea he should start ahead of Mangala.

 

[super_city_si]

Should gain a lot of confidence from tonight. Had a decent game.

 

[Easy]

Thought he was really good last night, was surprised at his level.

Started with Mangala 3 times now and twice looked clearly much much better ( last night and Wolves).

Made only one wrong pass (in extra time) otherwise was excellent.

Wouldn’t mind seeing him start a PL game soon.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

One of the valuable lessons learned from last night is that Tosin is a better player than Mangala and should be our back up centre back. More than held his own against PL opposition

 

[depps]

Looked good last night. Would be very comfortable with the idea of him.starting a few PL games over the next month or so if Vinny and Stones out

 

[Mike D]

Much much better last night really pleased for the lad he is still going to be behind Mangala in the pecking order right but he looks a decent prospect.
