Games like last night make me start to believe again. He is an incredibly tidy player. His little cushion header touch to set Gomez away for our second goal was sublime. He had some great moments. If anything it seems that it is his size that could be his biggest issue in the PL.

Not totally sold on him at RW (though will take that over him playing as a CM or at RCM every day of the week )
Not worried about his size/lack of height as he will naturally get physically stronger in the coming years and his low centre of gravity will be complimented by that extra strength.
Think the biggest weakness in his game (at present and age/lack of experience no doubt plays a big part in this) is how much he roams no matter what his starting position is.
That is fine if he is in a free role or one that allows him to wander about without impacting those around him, but when he starts in a more structured role that roaming cause problems against any team better than Rangers.
Where we are often starting Bobby at present would be a good position for him to start in imo. But then where do we start Bobby.I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

Neat and tidy but size and pace is a worry.Comment

Thought he had a great game and so pleased he got his goal.
Him and Carv covered the most ground last night which goes to show how much we need younger legs in the team.

Plenty of guys with his pace, his height and general size/weight that are excellent footballers in the PL and in other top leagues.
He is still only 19 and will only get physically stronger in the coming years so he adds that and a bit more positional awareness (which will probably come too), and there is no reason why he cannot do very well in certain positions.I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

Short and, in the cases of most of the above, not strongly built before they started to fill out after their teens.
Your av made me double take for a second. Thought I had a spider on the screen.

Also wonder if he might develop to be able to play in a similar role to Peter Beardsley (when Beardsley played in a Support striker/CF/AM type role rather than the times when Kenny tried him in a three man attack in a 433.)I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

Molby had great command of the centre circle.Originally posted by Bender View Post
It wouldn't be a bad idea to have someone cover that area these days.removing all the weak links makes us stronger
too many gutless players, no beef or desire. pussies everywhere... sack them all.Comment

Thiago and Molby in the centre.Originally posted by baitman View Post
Someone nicks a goal in the first minute then just give the ball to Thiago and Molby to pass the ball between themselves for the remaining 89 minutes.
Have Alonso in the middle with them if we want to to be certain.I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.
