I actually don't think his pace is that average. He's quite quick imo.
I thought he a decent game. He always made runs and was available to receive the ball. He probably abandoned some of his defensive responsibilities today, which is understandable. In the second half, he constantly made runs from the half way line almost into Liverpool's box (Although, Liverpool really didn't close him down much tbf) and he had some really good 1-2's with the likes of Martial and Rashford (That back heel for Martial's blazed over shot was lovely). Covered like 30-40 yards really quickly, but probably began to tire by the 70 min mark. Definitely one of our better players. I think people here expect every academy player to have a ceiling like Borthwick-Jackson, TFM etc which isn't necessary at all. I quite like him even if he is not as skillful enough to be a winger. His crossing is poor I agree, but I believe he can work on that. I hope he has a good career here. He's not going to a regular first teamer, but more than a useful Squad player.
