2nd time I’ve watched this guy play, very impressed. Inventive and hardworking. Got a big future
Reminds me of Angel Gomes a bit in style
Reminds me of Angel Gomes a bit in style
I was about to ask how long before Arsenal convert him to a LWBHis technique isn't as tight as Gomes and he's a wide player only I think. England have played him a lot at left back but he's much better in the LW/ILF position in my opinion.
Most importantly for him is that he's shown a temperament for senior football in his short career so far, he was excellent in Arsenal's win over Frankfurt a couple of weeks back too. He's probably overtaken Nelson at Arsenal already.
I think England do it to shoehorn talented players into the team. He's nowhere near as good there. I watched him play for England 18s at left back last international break in a very junior football kind of setting. Slightly surprising to see him playing so well in big away games in senior football a few weeks later.I was about to ask how long before Arsenal convert him to a LWB
Yep, he's a much better footballer than Caf darling Dan James.First time I saw him looks a great prospect. Good dribbler, effective
Christ, even in a thread nothing to do with one of our players there's always one who has to put one of our lot down.Yep, he's a much better footballer than Caf darling Dan James.
Yeah stupid, both completely different types of player so it’s pointless. I don’t understand why people can’t praise a player without putting someone else downChrist, even in a thread nothing to do with one of our players there's always one who has to put one of our lot down.

He is good for his age. Wasn't that inpressive for 70 odd mins as I thought he was playing like a wing back but after the first goal he looked confident. Whenever i have seen him play this season the lad looks good. Whether he can be a special player, only time will tell.He's good isn't he? Looks to be good with both the feet. Scored and assisted yesterday.

Much as that's a lovely goal, it's also some shocking defending.Tweet

He bossed it in the Europa League and made whoscored's team of the group stages

Shows how weak the competition is at this point though, he's found it much harder in the PL as have Arsenal. I'd say the EL group stages is about Championship level. Still a good showing from him, he must be one of the youngest players getting decent game time in the PL this year.

It’s been like this for a long time, nearly every full back is originally a DM or a Cb or winger, Ashley Cole for example started as a striker in Crystal Palace youth teams.This is really interesting.Tweet

This type of thought process seems quite widespread in football now; a traditional winger won’t cut it, they have to now make it as a menacing fullback. Alphonso Davies is having similar successes at Bayern doing the same...
Evra too.It’s been like this for a long time, nearly every full back is originally a DM or a Cb or winger, Ashley Cole for example started as a striker in Crystal Palace youth teams.
Someone has to be getting into his ear telling him not to renewUnited and Liverpool said to be keeping tabs on him.
