Sourness
Not sure what more you'd want from a young lad obviously nervous on debut at OLD TRAFFORD in a mishmash of a team that already had the match won.
Everything he does is a bit frantic without a plan. I honestly doubt he will be united level.I've never understood the hype around this lad.
It’s not his fault he isn’t ready yet. People need to stop acting like he is.Not sure what more you'd want from a young lad obviously nervous on debut at OLD TRAFFORD in a mishmash of a team that already had the match won.
Didnt watch the game but reading here seemed like he was a disaster. Quite decent and clearly nervous, all his passes were a second later than they had to be. Glad to see Solskjaer encouraging young lads by giving them a few minutes.Not sure what more you'd want from a young lad obviously nervous on debut at OLD TRAFFORD in a mishmash of a team that already had the match won.
He missed 12-18 months through injury, so although he's 19, his development stage isvthga of a 17/18 year old, depending on how Ole plans to use him, I'd keep him here for the remainder of the season.He needs to play at a higher level and quickly, the reserve isn't good for a 19 years old player. He needs to play week in week out at professional level and it should have been the case for the past 12-18 months.
He came back from the injury more than a year ago, he should have been playing at a higher level than the reserve. It's a general point, PL clubs seem to have the tendency to keep youngsters way too long at the reserve level, when they should be playing against professionals and gain experience.He missed 12-18 months through injury, so although he's 19, his development stage isvthga of a 17/18 year old, depending on how Ole plans to use him, I'd keep him here for the remainder of the season.
I know what you're saying, but he still lost a year of crucial development.He came back from the injury more than a year ago, he should have been playing at a higher level than the reserve.

Got to love this forum. People shouting for youth players, then shouting they are not ready or nothing special when they have an ok debut.It’s not his fault he isn’t ready yet. People need to stop acting like he is.
Well they did give him 30 minutes yesterday, he's clearly doing something good in the background.We need minutes of him playing to see how far they've come. Coaches dont. They see him in training all days.
I'm not really sure about Quaresma being rated higher, but to be fair I don't really remember.Ronaldo wasn't even considered the biggest talent at Sporting Lisbon. Ricardo Quaresma was rated higher. But hindsight is a wonderful thing.
There was a time when alot of people on this forum wanted the one trick pony Ronaldo sold and replaced with Aaron Lennon.
This.I wish the club would hire some of the posters in here as scouts, as it seems they only need to see a 19-year old for 30min in his first team debut to determine whether he will make it at the top level or not. Never mind that the game was practically over and that the team was about as disjointed as it could get with a backline and midfield which were made up of those that both haven't played in a while and also haven't played with eachother (and on top of that all had a poor game). Hardly the ideal situation for a kid to come on and dominate.
What makes it even worse is that his performance wasn't even that bad, I think he was more than alright given the situation. Rashford for example looked like a drunk in comparison.
So if you have short hair you're professional but if you have long hair you don't?What's with the haircut though? Not very professional
That's exactly what I meant.So if you have short hair you're professional but if you have long hair you don't?
What the feck is that?
Jesus wept.That's exactly what I meant.
Self-absorbed look that is very impractical for any kind of physical activity.
He likes to drift inside and taking shots, but he can still hug the line and put in cross like a traditional winger when required.I have a question. Why did he keep drifting inside? I though he was a hug the line kind of winger? Anyone who watches him regularly enough to explain does he like to drift inside like Sanchez or can he hug the line whipping in crosses.
Glad he got 30 mins.
It is a truly outstanding post, even by the standards of this place.Jesus wept.
Sorry I should have noted that I am not basing this off his cameo against Reading where I actually think he did quite well. You can also never tell from youth level who is going to make it but I just don't see any outstanding traits to his game that instantly fill me with confidence. Angel obviously has an uphill battle based on his stature and I can imagine him ending up being a really fun player to watch at a small club, he definitely has a huge amount of talent though.I actually think he has more chance of making it than Angel.
Don’t think this 30 minute tells us much at all. You can take that same logic and say Rashford is useless based on his cameo against Reading.
We need to see more of Chong in a more cohesive side, preferably a midfield that has someone with the passing range of Pogba for a few games before discarding his ability. Ole is the right manager for him.
Really who gives a feck how someone likes their hair? It in no way affects his ability to play football, so is no one else's business.What's with the haircut though? Not very professional
how is his hair not professional?What's with the haircut though? Not very professional
Nah he does have really good dribbling ability and turns fast in really tight spaces. His touch has been a little heavy at times while dribbling but I think hes still growing into his frame and getting used to it which could be the cause of that. Seems to have gone through quite a growth spurt in the last 18 - 24 months.wish we had youngsters like Sancho. Chong looks ok, but all the videos that i've seen of him he just doesn't seem to have the technical ability of say a Sancho. Chong seems to have this weird dribbling style where the ball doesn't look like its fully under his control and he seems to rely heavily on his pace.
i'm not sure this kid is going to cut it
Quaresma was rated higher, hence he got the move to Barcelona first.I'm not really sure about Quaresma being rated higher, but to be fair I don't really remember.
Chong is clearly not there yet physically, but he can hold his own.
