Would love to see him get the start V Forest.

Think he's ready. Let's see what he can do from the off.

I don't see the harm, people know what they'll get with DCL at the moment, we'll pump the ball long, he won't do much with it, they'll win it back. That might be the same with Broja, but I don't really see what we've got to lose by giving him a go

He didnt really impress with his awareness, and not just the 4 on 2, a couple of times looked to dwell on the ball and sort of play keepings off, rather than move it to a player in space.

Still, we need to find out what he's got, and needs to play more with the others so they can link up better.

Can't judge too much away against City.

Lovely first touch, needs to improve decision making. That will come with more game time, if he gets it.

Nowhere near DCL in terms of contesting long balls and holding it up.

But looked really good getting turned towards the goal and with the ball into his feet.

If we plan on changing how we play then very happy to see him start.

If we plan on twatting it up to him to relieve pressure and win territory then forest will eat it for breakfast.

Agree, but thought he showed a bit more last game, but maybe heightened expectations too.

Didn't think City's backline was all that much, except Gvardiol who looked decent on the ball.

Seemed to me he was making sure his pass wouldn't be offside... our players aren't great at running into space at the best times.

Fuck knows what Gana was trying to achieve on that break away.

Watched it over and just now , agree Gana got right in the way , Broja delayed the pass too much , also should have played Doucs in before he inevitably ran off side .

Was frustrating watching Fulham having a similar but more difficult break in the 95th min, and getting it spot on.

Watch any team in the league when they have a break. Their players actually have instructions on what to do when they get there, it's wild!

Smacks of ‘Let them play’-ism…
