Player Watch: Georges-Kévin N'Koudou

[monkeynick]

It may have just been the stream I was watching but he looked seriously quick to me, like Aaron Lennon minus the huge appendage quick

 

[VertongHen]

Thought he was very good when he came on today, though he didn't get much chance to do much as Middlesbrough's had the upper hand at that stage.

I loved his runs from defense to attack. They really helped break up Middlesbrough's pressure and he seemed to glide past players so easily with his pace.

Look forward to seeing more of him because, as of now, I'm impressed.

 

[Adam456]

He is flipping quick but last 5 mins against a poor team chasing the game and leaving loads of space is going to be easier

 

[Ossie85]

Looks better than Njie so far. Same pace with better control

 

[punkisback]

Looks to be a better prospect than Sissoko purely for his change of direction and speed. I find sisokko's running to be very one dimensional.

 

[yido_number1]

Welcome addition and great when we need someone to relieve the pressure

 

[Vincent30]

Seems to have a great attitude and i'm excited to see how he develops. Exactly the right player we needed, adding that 10 yard pace that we don't really have, great balance to our AMs.

 

[thefierycamel]

Seems very 2 footed too. I thought he was left footed but after his two cameos i have absolutely no idea

 

[raggy]

Got something about him, and the type of player we need. Very good off the bench today.

 

[nattydredd]

His cameo today gives me great hope for the future. Really impressive 20 minutes. Looked the part, fitted in so easily. No nerves, looked confident.

 

[Shadydan]

Yeah very good coming off the bench tonight.

 

[VertongHen]

I think the special thing about him is that he can actually beat a player easily. Our players were struggling a lot today to actually dribble past someone but if I remember correct the first thing Nkoudou did when he came on was beat two players and win a corner.

He really upped the tempo for us and I even thought he was good defensively today. Looking like a great transfer so far

 

[matthew.absurdum]

I think what he is better than Njie is that GKN is far more tricky and has a great sense of team work and work rate, seems like a very clever player

 

[widmerpool]

I'd like to see him start soon. Against Liverpool maybe.

 

[Sophos151]

Really impressed me today, not just taking players on but also tracking back really well.

 

[DIEHARD]

He really impressed me too, i know they were horrendously shit but one thing that striked me was he was intelligent... he demonstrated some intelligence

 

[stevensthfc]

Sterling with a brain and better technique.

I'm excited.

 

[Spinders]

Very impressed by him so far. Perfect impact sub. Opens teams up with his pace but has also shown great maturity in tracking back and winding down the clock. Got a good feeling about this one.

 

[Syn_13]

Sterling with a brain and better technique.

I'm excited.

Really? You're not watching Sterling this season then. Don't get me wrong, he ain't the smartest cookie, he's no David Silva, but he's doing bloody well under a coach that doesn't accept players who don't use their brains.

 

[UpTownSpur]

I'd like to see him start soon. Against Liverpool maybe.

Has to start against Man City.
