He's a completely different type of player to Skipp. More like Sissoko yes.

Hasn't got Sissoko's power, although that may come. He was neat & tidy, but really difficult to tell in a 20min appearance. He did make some good runs & some decent passes, but nothing to make you go wow.

Can't for the life of me work out how to best accommodate him in our current formation but I think we are approaching using the 4-3-3, certainly on occasion and all of a sudden it looks as though a lot of our midfielders have attributes that best suit that system.

Very much looked like he slotted in on the right of a 3 man midfield when he came on, thought he was a bit of a spark as well. Would like to see him get more minutes against Norwich.

Considering I’d guess his fitness is probably about 50% he looked decent. I’d almost be tempted to start him Vs Norwich see if he can do 55/60 minutes. But have absolutely no idea where to play him.

I was disappointed he didn't make that run when Eriksen tried to play him through. That was the best pass I've seen Eriksen play in the last year.

Yeah, I thought he looked a bit funny running, not like the vids of him on YouTube. Maybe he was very cold and wary of pulling something, cos he certainly didn’t look comfortable.. That said, I thought his debut was otherwise positive.

Not gonna lie, first thing I noticed about him was that he had a weird looking running style. Thought it was just me though ?

Some good forward runs, you could tell he hasn't settled in yet as it looked like he still had some spirit in him.

Hoping the kid gets a start in our FA cup match - hard to know what to make of him so far but he hasn't done anything wrong.

I was a little disappointed towards the end when he got the ball about 25 yards out that he didn't play it forward and or drive forward and shoot, but rather opted to play it back towards Eriksen. Might have been instruction from Mourinho though so who knows.

The whole team largely played safely last night, so more than likely.

Some on here were writing GLC off after the first few games......give the kid time and games and then we can judge.
Agree he will need time to adjust to the pace and intensity of the league I see him look a bit bemused yesterday when someone ran through him with a robust tackle.
