I thought he was immense last night when he came on and linked up play well and kept possession. I think having forwards who held the ball up brought him into play.
He's a baller. Still young, it's not the most dynamic start to a club career but by far the worst. Some recent stick has not been justified, but hey, mine is just another opinion!! There's been mention of the Styles / Williams seamless swap last night, and also the front three total swapout, and I for one am pleased that Mowatt, Palmer and Kane can also interchange. Good squad.
He should maybe have done a bit better than he currently has but I'm not sure about "running the game". We might find the bargain young players but £1.2 million isn't a lot of money these days.
He made an incredible tackle on the edge of their box to win back possession and nearly set up a chance. I'm sure he'll come good.
I think Herbie's best game for us was against Chelsea but he did do well last night too. He could be a big player for us next season if Mowatt leaves. Even if Mowatt doesn't leave there's still that spot next to him up for grabs. I think Palmer is probably edging it at the minute but nobody has really held down the place.
Didn’t know he cost that much. Whose pockets did we line? He did well. It’s been hard to pick anybody out this last week, they’ve all done well. I hope they look at this board & feel encouraged.
You're probably right, competition is good for that. We have good competition in a lot of areas right now so hopefully we'll keep seeing the benefit.
I maybe wrong but I have the funny feeling that when we get to 50 points then Val may just let the lads off the leash. I think that we forget at times how long that Ishmael has actually been here!
Was watching match. If it's right we paid 1.2 million for him he should be running the game........ I think my point is that he's playing second fiddle to a kid who's come thro the academy and cost nowt. I know it's horses for courses but he must be frustrated coming to us (as the most expensive signing for 20+ years) and not bossing games. Something's not right.
