    He was injured early in the season and we haven't played much. When healthy, he is a starter in midfield for the u23 team and a squad player in the senior side. Remember though that he has Cairney, Piazon(injured atm), Johansen, Norwood ahead of him in midfield. Our midfield is packed with talent. But Jokanovic will play you if you're good enough no matter the age so he will get his chance when he becomes match fit.

    Considering our attack has been poor lately, look for him to get some game time if we continue to misfire into the second half.

    Very, very active so far. Came close to getting on the end of 2 passes in the 6 yard box. Combing well with his teammates and playing very far up

    edit: make that three. He is coming very close

    edit 2: make that four! They're looking for him

    For those who can't watch, this may give an indication of where he's being played. He's number 36 there in the center circle. He's all over the attack.

    Yes, he is. So far he is keeping up with the pace of the game.

    I would say the same involvement as in the U20 team. Crafty little guy but doesn't have breakaway speed. He can be bodied but he is crafty enough not to get into those situations. He doesn't look out of place but he doesn't look to be well above that level of play.

    Sounds like Mix. I contend Mix could be put on pretty much any team in the world at pretty much any level and not look out of place, for bad or good.

    He was very confident and very much involved and was connecting players all over the field. I didn't watch the game before he came on so I lack context, but he certainly made his case to see more time.

    Great game by him and Edun, the England youth international he replaced. Was very active and dangerous. He really needed this performance cause Ojo is training again and Piazon is almost back. Would not be surprised to see him become a regular part of the 18 on the back of this performance.

    If you didn't catch the game, here is some of his action: https://streamable.com/6i748

    Yes, I know the sound is a little off towards the end.

    And he will be 19 for another 6 months. Hopefully he was just a later bloomer, because he wasn't that far of from pulisic in technical skill when they played for the u-17s

    His first touch and ball control are awesome.

    He’s finally looking physically ready for the adult game. Definitely maturing physically.
