Was a bit lacklustre first half, he's not really one to do it all himself but when we see him together with Ndiaye and McNeil it starts to look a lot better.

Rate him on the ball but it's his approach as well that's impressive. Constantly looking to get forward, gets stuck in and grabs the game for periods. Different style of player but he reminds me of Cahill in that way.

Hard working young player yet to settle anywhere with a decent amount of talent to unlock. See Arteta and Pienaar when they first got here. Epitome of a Moyes player.

He’s the attitude we need, Moyes would love it, and I think we should have him,… gotta say though that ball he played to Beto was so lucky to have been deflected right into Beto’s path by the defender, as it looked like it was being pinged right out to the corner otherwise.

Me too, he's the same type of scrappy, combative, annoying player that we've been missing for some time.

He’s somewhere between Besic and Cahill.

Think we'll really regret it if we don't sign him.

Played a delightful ball out to Mykolenko at one point where it looked he'd hit it way to far in front of Myko and probably out for a throw in. It checked up with backspin beautifully and allowed Myko to hit a first time cross.

Was a fantastic pass and shows his vision, just needs to work on decision making and we'll see him boss games imo. Going to be an absolute baller for us.

He's still a step up from what we have.

I'd have no problems making it permanent.

Yeah, think there is also scope to improve there too.

Remove your brain from your skull cavity and then sign Alcaraz.

Seriously though.

Reckon he will kick on next season.

Hopefully Harrison follows Doucourè out the door and we get a nice Pienaar-esque baller on the right hand side.

Thought he was a bit of a mixed bag today, some sloppy touches that gave the ball away and not such great passing in the first half. Goals matter though and that was a great header and he generally did well second half.

Would sign him, but he is a work in progress too. Lots of upside though potentially.

Not his best game, great header though.
