Hopefully we get to see him play with the first choice team at some point as think that will make a difference
Plus he has Ronaldo-like feet speed.I actually agree, the way he moves and touches the ball is special. We haven't seen it too much obviously and I don't want to get carried away but I do see him as our RW, probably next season.
Amad got around 34 mins and Shola 19 mins but just didn't see enough off the ball, they both ran into trouble a couple of times and personally feel that it's difficult to judge him when not playing with the main playersI turned off at 60 mins because I'm abroad on holiday and got bored and tired due to the time difference.
How many mins did he get? Who was better him or Shoretire and what positions did they occupy.
Thanks mate.Amad got around 34 mins and Shola 19 mins but just didn't see enough off the ball, they both ran into trouble a couple of times and personally feel that it's difficult to judge him when not playing with the main players
Hopefully shows people we still need to sign a starter RWThanks mate.
Yeah personally I'm happy with Greenwood and Amad competing for the inverted RW spot - getting another inverted RW doesnt make sense so I hope we go for someone like Sancho who is more a creative outlet from the RW than an inverted forward.Hopefully shows people we still need to sign a starter RW
Heard that before so many times in these forums.Gut feeling, based on what I've seen among other things. He's a natural. He just has IT.
We'll see! I strongly believe he has it, and that he will soon show all who doubts him. He just needs to get a proper chance.Heard that before so many times in these forums.
Nonsense. He's blatantly not ready for first team football but it was the right decision to give him a taste. Amad and Shola were clearly off the pace of what is a very, very good la Liga team, but you can see how good they are going to be.Poor from Ole not to start him. By the time he was put on the game was in the bin.
This is what annoys me the most. We had the perfect chance to give him a proper match and get some real experience, instead we threw him on with the game dead and surrounded him with Tuanzebe and WilliamsAhh yes such brilliant management from Ole. So apparently it was too risky to start him with some of the first team players where he might have got the ball. Instead Ole waits until the game is dead and we have stopped playing to bring him on. Low and behold he plays crap without getting any ball and some fans come in and say “he’s clearly not ready”. Excellent management
Most of these are plastic glory hunters and don't understand a great chant when they see one as they've never been to OTAfter seeing the replies I think i might die if i do it in the stadium
Perfectly summed up there. If the aim was not to put too much pressure on him then it didn't work did it. Then you'll get the situation where he feels he has to do something with limited minutes so forces the play, something which is a common issue with youngsters.Ahh yes such brilliant management from Ole.

I'm hoping for Arsenal tooHopefully we get another stinker side next round so he can get more and more minutes
I'd love to see someone try that chant in the stadiumMost of these are plastic glory hunters and don't understand a great chant when they see one as they've never been to OT

Most are only a few lines long and peter out after...no one has the patience to sing sing whole songs anymore.Pete Boyle used to try and get loads of original songs going but even he failed
And we nearly conceded 2 goals in the first few minutes.This is what annoys me the most. We had the perfect chance to give him a proper match and get some real experience, instead we threw him on with the game dead and surrounded him with Tuanzebe and Williams
United barely had the ball for 30 minutes, he and Shoretire hardly had a kick between them. If his golden boy James didn't get injured I doubt he would have got more than 15 either.
Thing is Ole is already giving minutes to a youngster at RW. He's also giving minutes to James who is fairly young.I’m still baffled why he didn’t start. Apparently one of the hottest talents in world football who we may end up paying up to €40 million for.
4-0 up in a dead rubber with a key game coming up at the weekend and Ole decides to start and risk injuries to the likes of Bruno, Fred and AWB when just a couple of days earlier Bayern gave 17 year old Jamal Musiala a start in the first leg of a CL game.
Either Ole has no idea about squad rotation and is incredibly risk-averse, or he was a panic buy and Ole doesn’t feel he is ready.
Makes zero sense not to give him a start yesterday.
I think he’s going to be a star but Ole needs to be more brave with his youngsters in the same way Sir Alex was.
Because it didn't matter. The game was done, so it's just about giving minutes to players that need it.Ridiculous bringing him on when we had no midfielders on the pitch bar Matic, a CDM,
There was just a massive hole in that midfield and we couldn't get a pass from back to the front so the lad had nothing to work with, the same for shoretire.
Really strange subs from Ole last night, I get we are very short on Midfielders but the team were so disjointed in that second half.
Too sensible...Let's all remember how Evra and Vidic looked on their first starts for us and they were seasoned professionals.
Exactly, the two young lads just need minutes and exposure to the first team environment at this stage. They aren't ready for first team football and may not even be ready next season. They both need to bulk up and may need a loan or two.Because it didn't matter. The game was done, so it's just about giving minutes to players that need it.
I'm not sure that Diallo will go on loan. I think he'll be fine with the physicality once he gets used to it and I think he has the quality. He just needs minutes and to keep working with the team in training to understand his role and the demands. It took Fred over a season yet people expect a young kid to be ready now when he's barely played senior football even outside of the PL.Exactly, the two young lads just need minutes and exposure to the first team environment at this stage.

I've seen people mention Amad's pricetag but they shouldn't come into anyone's argument about whether or not he should be starting a game, dead rubber or not.
He has the physique of a child. He is not ready for PL football. He is also incredibly raw. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if he goes out on loan next year.Couldn't disagree more.
Right now he is on Greenwoods trajectory or a little better.
because the coaches watch him every day and he isn't ready yetI’m still baffled why he didn’t start. Apparently one of the hottest talents in world football who we may end up paying up to €40 million for.

In other words nobody has a clue but pretend like they do.Reading the thread, it almost impossible to figure out if Amed is going to be the GOAT or a dud. ''He should have started, a mistake by Ole'' to ''he is years away from being a starter''!
