Impressed me with his pace yesterday. Good ball for Lamela aswell.

Perfect sub.


Brilliant introduction on Saturday. Fantastic skill and pace to turn and get away from his man. Brilliant ball for Lamela

If he can continue like Saturday and even improve on that, Wow

Now is his chance to really push for starting time with Son out.

I'd like to see Njie, Eriksen and Lamela form the attacking three behind Kane. Good blend of pace and creativity. Could also put Njie up top with Kane to function as a two-striker setup.

Good game today, especially under the crazy pressing from liverpool. With Chadli and Son injury (unfortunately) I think he will get more chances to show more against the lesser team.

He was abysmal in his first 15 minutes or so, but took his chance quite well and forced an absolutely outstanding save. I think he'd work best as a CF, playing off the shoulder of the defense and getting on the end of chances. His contribution to build-up play leaves a lot to be desired.

I think we played 4-4-2 some moments in this game. Njie's best chance was happened when we are playing 442

I wouldn't say he was abysmal but he was clearly off the pace for ten or fifteen minutes, good to see him grow into the game though, he got better and better and in the end he had a very good game.

Thought he had a promising game. The first 10-15minutes he looked a fish out water - which is understandable due to the frantic nature of the match. Once he settled though, I thought he worked hard, looked threatenening and was unlucky not to score with a sumptious outside of the boot half volley.

He definitely looks to have talent and I feel he is much better option from the bench than Townsend.

I think like the rest of the team he was just finding it hard to deal with the insane pressing of Liverpool and I also sensed a bit of nerves possibly. However he did some excellent things and I believe shows a lot of promise.

He's unpredictable, which is both frustrating and exciting... He'll get better and will be a strong asset given time.

I don't know why people expect him to brilliant straight away, last season was his first full season at Lyon. It's going to take time for him to get used to the premier league especially if he is limited to sub apperances.
