A lad of his age and size shouldn't be bossing games in the championship but his positional sense and passing ability is excellent. He ran the show in the second half.
No, much more of a Carrick type player. Retains possession and keeps it ticking over. Always available for the give and go and good at occupying space in front of the defence.
Was pushed forward when Henry came on and was always in space.
They will only get better the more they play. Looking forward to seeing our midfield develop.
I'd say a bit more like Michael Carrick but obviously not on the same level yet. He played the deepest in midfield and made countless interceptions and tackles. Never needed to dive in as his positional sense is good. His passing ability is also very good and in the second half he really pulled the strings. We basically played through him today as Redknapp said we would.
Looking forward to seeing more of him this season!
I believe Carroll will become an England squad mainstay, sooner than later.
Has anyone else noticed his reluctance to use his right foot? To the point where he'll use his left foot to bring it 180 degrees all the way back round to where he wants it. Just seems a bit of a weakness to have at this level.
Having said that he has plenty of positives to his game and is fitting into our passing game nicely so I'm happy to see him in the starting eleven and improve his game with us
His best game today.Good first touch,reads where the space is and uses it well.Agree he is very left footed ,which could be a problem.I have a slight problem with him as he is the same type of player as Faurlin,and to some degree Barton.I 'm not sure I need to see him passing forward better,ie finding players in the last third.I worry he is keeping Faurlin from his proper position.
Thought he looked much better when he pushed up second half. He still worries me when he picks it up deep as he can be a bit casual in the ball across the back 4, which with our lack of pace ther will cost us
Though Faurlin was very, very unlucky to be subbed
Never stops moving and showing, think he is going to be a very classy player (and Barton has become twice the player thanks to their understanding)
Thought he was excellent today. Much better than last week. Cut out the mistakes from last week and definitely did his part keeping possession and helping us tick over all afternoon. Even a couple of decent defensive interventions. Hats off.
