Absolutely. You get a lot more space and time in the Swedish league.Do you think this may be because of the leagues they played in before? I don’t watch Swedish league football but I would guess English league is faster and tougher physically.

He’s 18 now bruv. Only got a few years left.He's 17 ffs.

He was 17 until he became 18He's 17 ffs.
He also had the issue that his fellow 18 year old who was also signed in the summer played like prime Beckanbauer.For an 18 year old who’s just come from the Swedish league after 1 season I’d argue the performances he’s showing are exactly what I’d expect them to be, eager to impress ect. He’s not been bad at all, the thing that is working against him is that the other 2 his age that he’s being compared up against are truly top top talents.
He just needs time.
Think that’s down to which way Ange tries to manage him. He’s a very decisive player but he’s still learning to make right decisions for the way we play. He’s very, very young just now.
Yeah agree and some have referred to Mikey but he’ll get his demons at some point too. Think he IS too determined and confident but that’s managing for you isn’t it?Replying here as it's more appropriate.
He may turn out to be the best number 10 or creative outlet at the club, it's not unfeasible for that to manifest at some point, but it's just not what I see in him from what I've seen so far. That's being said with full acknowledgement that I could easily be wrong given that he is quite young and obviously has bags of ability with the ball at his feet.
I don't even think the decision-making is outright a case of adapting to the way we play. Of course partly because he simply needs to play more and gain that familiarity, but in terms of the cameos and such, I do really just think it's a case of him trying to do as much as he can in the limited time he has and as a result ends up trying to do too much at times. Only natural for someone of his age and who is eager to impress.
Is Lucas out the Sweden squad tonight? I thought he was on the bench first game.?
Ha ha sounds like his mum won’t let him play out, cos he has a cold.Gone home with a minor injury.
