Thought he looked really good. He was a bit tentative throughout the match but I understand that. He kept to his duties well and was very, very solid.
I am going to guess no - assuming Pedro is back - I think Poch will want more experience. But maybe we go to the 3421, and that helps KWP on that side.Very good and solid debut. Tried to get involved in offense. But MOTM is way too much. Will be interesting to see if Poch plays him versus Chelsea.
The thing about KWP - that distinguishes him from Onomah - is he acts like he belongs on the pitch. He does not shy away from his responsibilities, he carries himself like he belongs on the senior team. Same attitude I saw when Winks came up, same as Dele, or Kane, or Dier.
I hope Onomah finds that confidence this season at Villa - sometimes thats the difference in a top player and a journeyman.

Played bloody well, but man of the match was a bit of a stretch, no way his performance would get that if he was just another player. Good performance, but sky love a good romantic story.
You guys are reading too much into this - KWP played composed and like he belonged when he played LB this summer - its an attitude, not necessarily ability. You saw it from the other young players who have broken through.Hardly fair considering that Onomah has played out of position
Play KWP in DM and then lets see if he belongs on the pitch?
Eriksen for me. It was the debut aspect that made his performance a real good one. Proper glad for the bloke, but I genuinely believe that performance wouldn't have even been a footnote if delivered by Davies on the other side. Great start though.I thought it was between him, Dele and Eriksen. The other two were more involved in the decisive moments, but KWP was targeted as our weak link and stood up to the test brilliantly.
Fair bit more pressure on a debut though. KWP handled the pressure and put in a performance where he made some key contributions. (A few mistakes - as did several players - and none punished too severely)Eriksen for me. It was the debut aspect that made his performance a real good one.

Sorry - but he has not shown it at the senior level yet. I think he has it in him, and I hope he gets that confidence this year.If he'd (Onomah) been played in CM, where he is supposed to be played he may have looked more assured, like he did at the WC, like he did in big games against Chelsea in YC semi finals etc.
