London Blue Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Unless we receive the worlds most incredibly over inflated offer DO NOT SELL HIM. StevO, Matt and dunlopp9987 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Only a matter of time till he is sold. For me he is already good enough to play for a top 4 side. Hopefully we can keep him long enough to the point he is worth £80m. thats how good he can be. plaidharper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 He'll be here until next summer at least, so I'm just going to enjoy him rather than focus on him leaving ffs. Matt Tiger and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StevO Posted October 29, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 The commentators on Sky seemed surprised how good he was. They weee shocked when he out paced Antonio without breaking sweat. I don’t think he did anything special today, don’t mean that as a negative, quite the opposite. I have no fear when he ball goes near him, strikers live in his back pocket. It’s not special anymore, it’s just what he does every week. He’s possibly our best player already. Does my head in how often he wins the ball and refs and even linesmen a few feet away give a foul against him.

He made a cracking challenge against the sideline & was given a foul, which happens far too often. Deceptive how quick he is, not rapid but long strides & just eats up the meters. From Keane, Mina & Holgate to this lad is just chalk & cheese, quality start to the season. Matt, StevO and London Blue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't underestimate the importance of Tarkowski's experience beside him. You can see them communicating all the time.

Romey 1878 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 I thought he was very poor today. Maybe still feeling the effects of whatever the knock was that he had? c1982 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Tiger Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 I actually thought it was encouraging from him today. He was really struggling in the first half, especially the first 30 minutes or so. And then I thought he kept working and really turned his performance around in the second half. We haven’t seen him struggle really at all this whole year so watching him bounce back was good to see. dunlopp9987 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 It’s hard when Eze is running at you full throttle. It changed in the second half as Eze was stopped running and made to turn more. At this point I thought Branthwaite got to grips with him and improved a lot.

RuffRob Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 off days againt certain player are going to happen for a young developing player in his first proper season at Premiership level. what will be interesting is to see is how he does against Eze that next time they meet.

He improved in the second half for sure but still not very good and the weak link. I'm not having a go like because every player has poor games.

Thankfully, apart from whatever he was doing on their second goal, Tarkowski had an excellent game and, although he didn’t have a lot to do, Pickford was quick to cut out danger.

StevO Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 He’s got to learn when and where he can stick a leg out for those tackles. Players like Eze willl go down and that could have been two penalties, the one they got was cheap, but he doesn’t need to do that. He will learn though, he’s doing brilliantly so far this season.

Brainthwaite is still young and learning his trade at the moment is head and age are telling him to make an attempt for every ball without a second thought to the consequences, as he grows in experience his decision making will improve. I wouldn’t knock Eze for any of his game play he was unplayable in spells of the game, I’d love to have him play for us he’d be huge upgrade for Doucoure. So credit where credit is due Eze is a player and Brainthwaite would have learned some valuable lessons playing against a player of Eze’s abilities.

He was collapsing his legs and dragging feet before he got near to Braithwaite in my opinion. Maybe shouldn't have given the opportunity but officials need to do better there.

Eze took a fall but I couldn't be sure from any of those cameras that there wasn't a slight touch. Had the referee given the penalty they may well have stuck with it. It was tricky play and the kind of player that will win penalties with quick feet in the box but it's a lesson for him.
