It's usually quite easy to get excited about youth players but he's shown very little. Looks extremely timid on the ball and usually opting for the safe pass. Don't really see it.

I've only seen highlights of him in the youth teams so probably someone else knows better, but I think he is braver on the ball usually. I think it's just him getting used to first team football.It's usually quite easy to get excited about youth players but he's shown very little.

I felt he was fairly impressive in his first two appearances, showing quite good ability on the ball with passing, crossing and press resistance (as well as doing most of his defensive work well). Since then I'd agree he seems to have gone into his shell, but hopefully those first couple of matches are a sign of what we can expect in the future.It's usually quite easy to get excited about youth players but he's shown very little.
