I was at the game, didn't hear any boos.

He was arguably our best attacker tonight. He was at least trying to make something happen.
He did a lot better on the right. Definitely the best of a bad bunch tonight but when you lose so many players in a such a short space of time it's gonna take a while to settle.

I was there and he certainly wasn't
Hopefully he wasn’t, as I’ve said previously I don’t think he was that bad just needs a bit of luck once he scores once at the stadium it will click still not fully fit and he’s had a bit of shit luck

Agree wasn’t booed and looked better when he switched sides, key for him is better decision making because offensively he is dangerous

we just need to be patient, he'll grow into his game. Once he gains some assertion to his game and aggression he could become an absolute world beater.

There were a few groans but I didn’t hear any boos.
Just needs to get some confidence to beat his man and have a shot or cross the ball. He is always looking for a pass even when he’s in a good position.

He would be helped if we had more options and he didn't have to start every game. Coming on as sub he'd be lethal.

He's better on the right.

Hopefully Soloman will be back soon as would have been ideal to have him on left with Son away on international duty.

I’d be more tempted to give Gil a few more tries on left as he prefers playing as a traditional left winger.

His first touch was sublime.
He timed his runs well.
He had 2/3 decent efforts on goal.
Plenty to be positive about.

He’s stuck in his head.

Only time will tell if he blossoms into his potential.

Some flashes of great things tonight but lacks conviction and aggression.

He's fine.

I personally couldn't understand the complaints as he took his man on a few times and had that curler.

He should have recognised that Udogie's underlap created a gap for him to shift and shoot but thats cause he isn't fully confident yet.

When he gets that he'll be superb I am confident of that

willing to give him time, but did expect more considering the fee we paid
Maybe he doesn’t look like a £45m player right now but you’re right to give him time. How many fantastic players have we seen need a season or so before showing their real talent? Modric, Dembele, Bale are all recent examples.

had a nearly game tonight. got in some great positions but the final bit of quality was lacking.

still super young and has heaps of development to come. Will be a very good player imo
