The assist he laid on for the goal will tell you all about his talent, he's not a flashy winger by a long shot but his composure and decision making in the final 3rd is just ridiculous for an 18 year old.

Yeh and the fortunate build up to in the play before the pass shows what he is missing. A heavy touch that a more mobile defense would of snuffed out.

The last few times I watched him he spends most the game running into opposition defender with moments of brilliance. When I've seen him play fullback he has a little bit more space and has a larger presence in the game as a whole. But I guess putting him in fullback diminishes his attacking product. I do wonder how he will develop. As has been said before, he doesn't yet really convince as a winger or as fullback. I wonder if as he matures he might develop into central player.
Whose Fulham’s CB’s? They’re winning everything.

Ream looks unbeatable in the air, Odoi is the other CB. It must be said though aston villa arn't really putting the defenders under much pressure.

There definitely is a player in Grealish part of me wonders what Poch could do with him.

All the times I've seen him sessegnon is yet to convince me as a winger and the last few times I've seen him doesn't yet seem the level required to really stake a starting place in any of the top 6. Top talent though.

Grealish has got a lot of ability. Very comfortable on the ball got that ability to glide past players at ease and move through the gears. Needs to up his work rate and intensity but we could do a lot worse. Agree about Sessegnon as well, nice and tidy, good movement but I’m not seeing anything that really jumps out at me

My eldest son will be happy. He's at uni in London and lives in Fulham. Him and a few pals have nabbed season tickets at Craven Cottage for next season for £320. They'll rocket if they get promoted.

Yeah ive seen one winning everything in the air. Shocked its Tim Ream though. That’s jarring

Could probably make that back and then some by selling a few games

He has more goals and assists than pulisic, martial, zaha and any other "winger" people cream over in the transfer threads. Not sure what more he can do to convince. I'm sure there would be more excitement over him if he was foreign and playing overseas.

Not sure about that, Fulham are hardly known as a team that sells out all to often. They have a neutral stand for goodness sake.

In the Championship mate. No offense but look at the past and see the player that post great statistics in the division and see how they do in the PL. Lets just say its rarely a good indicater of how someone adapts to the PL

I think he is very good super talented but is still a teenager and I'm not convinced he will be pulling up trees right away in the top division thats all. Lets not hype him to unrealistic expectations wherever he is next season.

No handling offense and a yellow on the tackle, but it was a bit nasty. Taylor got them both right.

His composure, reading and decision making for his age is impressive. He works off the ball too. He rarely does immature stuff, he makes good choices in tight areas. It’s the combination of pace with composure that I like, especially in a kid of 18. Imagine playing with better players.
