Player Watch Player Watch: Ryan Sessegnon

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Also very solid defensively against Pool, next step is to use his attacking potential against weaker teams. Starting against Burnley

He has been very solid defensively against Pool and City

I see Mr dislike has an issue with you praising the lad ?

Some posters never can see anything else but neg him! He had a solid game today. Feking heck?

That same poster seems to be doing it all over the forum. You're pissing into the wind mate.

Did everything that was expected of him. Not sure what there is to complain about, as him, Davies and Sonny blocked them off down the left quite well. He looked to be lacking a bit of confidence on the ball, but I think that’s down to form more than talent.

He’s young, works hard and still has plenty of time to improve his game.

Spot on. Though someone disagrees.

I like him, i really do, but i dont just think his good enough long term, to meek, too weak, not enough end product , i really had high high hope for him... i I honestly think we can do better to push on, defensively not great, attacking again not great very Stevie- esque.... without being harsh IF we want to be challenging im sad to say he is isnt they guy to help us get there too many frailties unfortunately, I wish it wasnt but if you have to be honest and blunt just not good enough for what we need sadly.

You have one fucked up way of showing it. Rating down every post that praises the lad & going on to say "I really hope Reggie is back ASAP.. we miss him Immensely"

What exactly is it that we've missed immensely? His assists? His goals? His solid defending?

I must have missed those, too.

Sessegnon may not be the finished article, but he's (seemingly) defensively more disciplined than Reguilon, which is why I imagine he was used against Liverpool & City. Reguilon is/can be hot headed and although full of desire, can lack discipline.

There are times when Reguilons pace & Roadrunner style can be effective, just as there are times for the more defensively sound Sessegnon.

Both are young, both have their flaws, but they can absolutely improve as they mature & get more game time.

No idea what your issue is. Just want new toys is my guess!

Unpopular opinion. Sess will end up being a bigger threat going forwards than Reggie. Provided he remains injury free. Given he is already, again my opinion, stronger defensively, will be a more compelete package.

Look at his previous goal scoring. He's very good in the box.

Obviously still room to grow and work on the crossing.

All that said, I wouldn't argue with anyone who suggested the wing backs on both sides of the pitch could be better to push up the table. That is again, balanced by sess and reggies age and room for improvement.

 

[AnotherSpursFan]

He put in a solid performance,

Pleasantly suprised. Hope he continues to improve and stays healthy.

 

[mano-obe]

If he can get back that Fulham confidence he had then we may be laughing. I get a feeling Conte has a lot of faith in him to improve

 

[EQP]

Expect we'll see Sess vs Burnley, Reguillon vs Leeds and Sess vs Middlesbrough in the FA Cup. 3 game in the space of 12 days will mark progress for Sess. It might be cliché to say but I feel that Sess is a goal or assist away from a significant confidence boost.

 

[Tarricko]

Gareth Bale was nothing like Sessegnon.
Mind you Gareth is still a bit soft

Bale soft? Maybe my memory isn't great but I can't remember him being soft. He was injury prone sometimes and a bit lightweight very early on, but he never lacked aggression, fight or confidence.

As for now. I love watching him strut around the pitch. He plays with a proper arrogance imo

 

[Tarricko]

As for Sess. I really like him and he has a high ceiling when it comes to his technical potential. But I think his mentality will stop him getting where we want him to be. I hope I'm wrong but I find it hard to see him being our long-term answer at LWB.

For the record I don't think Reguilon is either, but I prefer him to Sess at this moment in time.

Just like, my opinion, man.

 

[Snarfalicious]

He reminds me of an outstanding two year old flat race horse who doesn't train on as a three year old.

I understood none of this but completely agree.

 

[mdharris]

Probably not a popular opinion, but I’d have Sessegnon at LWB over Reguilon for now. Reguilon often costs us defensively, and is so poor in crucial moments attacking (though he is much better than Sess about getting into good positions).

Im still hoping we find goal scoring Sess in there somewhere. He scored 14 goals in the Championship that season Fulham came up. If he can get himself into good attacking positions as Conte wingbacks tend to do, we could see him get a few goals. I’d trust him more in front of goal than Reguilon, and he seems better defensively.

This kid has all the physical attributes and skills Conte wants in a wingback. Conte and Sessegnon know it too. If anyone is going to ‘suffer’ under this manager it’s Sessegnon but there’s a chance he’ll come out of it the best wingback in the country - if he stays fit. Its all about mentality now and taking the knocks.

I remember Gareth Bale as a youngster not being able to take a knock and be willing to play through it. It took Harry Redknapp to recognise that and literally ignore his pleas to come off the field. To me it’s a similar issue with Sessegnon- he needs toughening up, tough love if you like. Up to him now.

Not sure I agree. You compare him to regs pace wise etc he’s not in the same league. Sess doesn’t get up and down the field enough

I mean regs had covid against city so not really a fair comparison is it?

 

[carpediem991]

Personally i am still very much underwhelmed by Sess. He is not a kid of our youth, he is now a player with about 5 years seniors experience who has cost around 25m and still gets shoved around the pitch like a boy.

I really wish he comes good and further improves, but he is absolutely nowhere, where he should be.
He is defensively average and his forward play as a LWB is most of the time not existent. Very hard judgement because others failed too but his useless sending off against Mura has probably cost us a competition

Since the day he scored against Bayern we say he just lacks confidence, a strong mentality is needed though at this level.

I wish him all the best and hope he improves and proves me wrong, but in my eyes we have just one useful wing back at the club, and thats Reguilon.
Just my opinion.

 

[spids]

This debate on Sess vs Reggy just shows we need a new, prime years LWB who will deliver offensively much better than the two we have if we want to compete for trophies. I’d be happy to sell Reggy back to Madrid and replace him with a very experienced LWB whilst Sess continues to develop as I think Sess has the higher ceiling. If only we could inject some of Reggy’s energy, passion and mentality into Sess.

Have never used the ignore function before, but his bizarre behaviour is actually making me consider it, which I just think is sad in itself really.

This whole place is all about differing opinions & (hopefully) engaging discussion. But to just neg people & downright dismiss their opinion is really not a great representation of their personality.

I just didn't have him/her down as that sort of person. ?

The lad has had such bad luck with injuries, I really hope he gets a good run in the team entirely injury free. And you're not the only one that's a little underwhelmed by Reggie.

I dont dislike reggie at all, and I think he's a competent player with a bit of bite. I just think sess has, potentially, more ability. If anything, the LWB doesn't need looking at anywhere near as much as the right side. It won't be as much a priority for the club with 2 young lads battling it out. This is a good thing.

If anyone hasn't seen what Sessegnon is like in and around the box, look back to his Fulham days. It's there. But I think it's a lack of game time and as many have already said, a touch of confidence is needed for him to push on. Depends a lot on what Conte has instructed him, last game vs City, he was putting the brakes on in advanced potions. I felt deliberately.

 

[razor1981]

That Conte quote in full:

"Sess in my vision has all the possibility to become an important player. First of all he is young and has in front of him a lot of years. He is strong physically and fast, has a good engine, a resilience. He has good quality. Sometimes I think he feels a bit of pressure. But with me he played important games, against Liverpool, against Chelsea, against City. It means I trust him. If you remember in the last game I changed the system, but only for this I took him off after 30 minutes. I explained it was a tactical situation. But we are talking about another player that if he works and you have patience to work with him he is another player that can become and important player, also for England, the national team. But the first person that has to be convinced is himself. I trust him in the same way I trust all the players."

Hopefully people now shut the fuck up about his talent/potential, and him being replaced.

Very complimentary ! All seems to hang though on his self confidence. Hopefully a couple of goals and/or some great passes or crosses that create goals will boost his self confidence and he then as Conte says goes on to become an important player for us.
