costarg Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 5 hours ago, Macksam said: My honest assessment, minus a few hiccups (the mis touch off his chest, getting his wires crossed with Coman and Sanches a few times,etc.), he was solid at RB. When he switched to left wing, he had a hard time getting into the game but that was more Milan taking control of it after the subs. Like others have said, he needs to utilize his pace more when given the chance but smartly and bumping both Alaba and Hernandez is a tough task. I think he’ll be more of a sub for Coman and Gnabry. I saw the same. Wasn't quite as effective or comfortable at LW as he was at LB. Macksam and JuicyHam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Listed on UEFAs website as one of 50 young players to watch this year.

Pretty in depth list. I guess it'll just make his potential rise that much further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't have much of an opportunity to do anything as the game was already well over by the time he came it (it was 5-0 at halftime). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SthMelbRed Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Ten minutes in... He's made a crucial defensive intervention, using his incredible pace to chase inside and prevent Lamela getting an open shot from 6 yards, bailing out the CB. He then was unlucky when his tackle on the Spurs right winger bounced back into the path of his opponent, who got a dangerous cross in. Neuer saved his embarrassment with an incredible save off Moura, though. apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king1010 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 reading comments online, it sounds like he is having a rough game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 He seems a very decent one on one defender but instincts are not there...(yet?). He has been caught ball watching a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SthMelbRed Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 He's also had a couple of bright moments going forward, so I'd call any overly strong criticism of him, so far, as slightly unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been caught ball watching a few times. I agree with that. He was kind of caught ball watching, and not recognizing the run behind him on Haiti's third goal in the Gold Cup as well.

JuicyHam Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 He looked mostly good in the first half. Was good one on one defending and moving forward. The ball often went to him when played out the back and he mostly made smart decisions with it(maybe defaulted too often to the CB but that's just nitpicky). Like some have said he did get lost a couple times ball watching and maybe he doesn't quite have those defending instincts but we tend to forget he is still a teenager and defenders learn these instincts with experience and he really doesn't have that experience yet. All this is just my opinion and I'm not the smartest person when it comes to football so take from it what you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SthMelbRed Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Lucas Moura just tried to run past Davies over about 20 yards, across the middle of the pitch. Phonz outpaced him at what looked like 50% effort. LOL johnyb and apbsmith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachesl Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) He looks lost, confused.without very much confidence to confront, LB is not the position for him. He needs to be further up the field more involved in the attack( I mean, I think he is wasted at LB). On the other hand, he needs to grab opportunities like this.
