[SAF is the GOAT]

He’s just signed a new contract and here you are saying we will lose him to Madrid

I love what our management are doing with him - "you've prove yourself - and that's why you're getting a new contract".
I wish they did it with our senior players and not after 6 months.

Madrid just needs to pay what he's worth.

 

[Nero]

I guess Vinicius is a figment of our imaginations.

 

[bosnian_red]

Looked 18 today. Some good dribbles but he had the space and chances to kill them, happens.

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Yep, but HE's the type of player that I can watch and say "yeah just needs more time to develop". He's so raw but the tools are there.

 

[Remember the geese]

Needs to bulk up. A cliché, but true in this case.

 

[BorisManUtd]

Average cameo but Bournemouth were deep most of the time so didn't give him that much space and dealt with him when needed.

 

[Rossa]

That one run of his with acres of space, he ran as if his hamstring went. What was that?
Quite poor today.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Yeah rough cameo from him. Looked very raw.

 

[Abraxas]

He was pretty bad and yet still more likely than Sancho. Fairly embarrassing stuff when a teenager comes on for 15 minutes, plays rubbish and still looks more exciting. At least it should be, but I don't see much pride or energy in Sancho to think he would be fussed.

 

[Zed is not dead]

Is it me or Garnacho did something to his front teeth?

 

[Sylar]

Him Vs city as a sub could be very very useful especially if it's a tight game

Is it me or Garnacho did something to his front teeth?

The Ronaldo treatment

 

[Shane88]

Has to start the final.

Our only hope is pace in behind and Sancho has none.

 

[kundalini]

Looked very raw, a few less than ideal touches and ran into traffic, yet his deflected shot hit the bar and a decent left foot shot from Sancho's cross required a good save from Kepa.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Is it me or Garnacho did something to his front teeth?

Not called Garnashers for nothing.

 

[luke511]

Is it me or Garnacho did something to his front teeth?

They could be Invisalign retainers.

 

[BorisManUtd]

Unlucky not to score tonight. Hopefully he gets that goal when we need it more

 

[Red in STL]

Has to start the final.

Our only hope is pace in behind and Sancho has none.
[/QUOTE
If he does we will lose, he was trying a bit too hard tonight, he's much better used as a late sub as he gains experience

 

[Red00012]

Not a chance . He’s very raw he’s a much better option coming off the bench.

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Yeah you want him coming on against tired legs. Not off the jump. Isn’t refined enough yet

 

[Brightonian]

Yep thirded. Those cocky runs which test the defender's legs but mostly lose the ball are exhilarating and can create goals 80 minutes in. From the start, he'll just give City their possession stranglehold that much earlier.

 

[Jeppers7]

He’s fecking brilliant

 

[lex talionis]

The boy is still only 18 years old. I remember the 18 year old Ronaldo like it was yesterday and there's no question that this 18 year old is better than that 18 year old. But will he develop at 19-20 into the colossus that Ronaldo became at 21? Probably not, but even if he only reaches 75% of Ronaldo's level at 21 Garnacho is destined for greatness.

 

[Lost bear]

Think you’re right there.

 

[el3mel]

I like the kid. Definitely not ready yet to be a permanent starter but he has a huge talent and I bet he will be ready within 2 more years if he keeps this rate of development going on.

 

[Ted Lasso]

Recency bias perhaps. I have the opposite of that - remember Ronaldo like yesterday being a mile ahead of Garnacho.

18 years old Ronaldo is a league above Garnacho. I say this as a Messi's fanboy.

Not in a million years. Young Ronnie was candy for the eye, but wildly erratic. We know the rest of the story, but at 18 Alejandro > Cristiano.

Come on be serious. Garnacho is class but he isn't on par with 18 y.o. Ronaldo. Garnacho is also wildly erratic. He's mostly an impact sub because he isn't ready for more. Ronaldo was starting plenty right away.

 

[SAF is the GOAT]

Don't know if only I see this but he's starting to develop that "getting the ball to his strong foot in order to shoot it" like Antony and Marcus.

He has to develop more skills because eventually he'll be predictable in the upcoming seasons to defend against.

In an interview with one of our coaches they specifically brought up that’s always been an issue with him.

That “getting the ball to his strong foot in order to shoot” is a trait shared by the vast majority of footballers. Including some of the best to ever play the game. I wouldn’t sweat it.

 

[Giggsyking]

He will be a star if he continues on this trajectory.

Ronaldo would have been 19 at this point in his debut season. He did play a lot more than Garnacho but only scored 6 goals that season. Garnacho is currently on 5. It felt as though Ronaldo’s breakthrough performance was the FA Cup Final, when he looked like the real deal and was probably the best player on the pitch. Be nice if Garnacho could repeat history.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

Definitely warrants more time on the pitch, despite how erratic he is.

You can't see a shift in the way teams defend when he fronts them up, even if they know at this stage he might not deliver the final ball.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Should've had a goal last night. Really unlucky.

 

[DRJosh]

He is what we hoped Daniel James would be. He also has that flair factor

 

[JB08]

He will be a great option off the bench in the cup final if we're somehow in the game with 20-25 mins to go. You wouldn't want to play against him. Though Walker is probably better placed to do that than most in fairness.

 

[Floyd]

No white text?

I remember that even MG who was believed to have no weak foot, who scored free kicks with both left and right, started glaringly preferring his left and many times avoiding shooting with his right in the PL.
