I think after a positive start he's been found out.

He's trying to complete Sonic 2 on his SEGA Game Gear anyway, coming on would be a distraction

"With you in a second boss, I just need to collect this Chaos Emerald"

Maybe if he was 12 in 1992 he be saying this but he'll actually be opening a pack on FIFA to get a draft team of at least 189 or something like that I think my son says. Yeah I'm well cool.

Whenever have we paid £9m for a player who's "one for the future"?

I make no conclusions about the player (been ok, just that), but if you pay that money for a player you better start playing him. This isn't City and we don't have £200m to spend on players.

Unfair IMO he has been fast tracked into professional football and is still a kid. Give him a chance mate he will come good the ability is there.
I would give him all of next season as well before judging him properly.

One trick pony imo.

Bang on. He was playing park football not so many years ago. Has a natural talent but is raw.
End of next season would be a little too early to judge too IMO as it's a hell of a step change to PL

What's the trick then

Thought he was ok today. Definitely doesn't deserve to be criticised at the expense of others. Looked lively and had a good shot.

If people are going to say get off Barkley's back, same applies to this lad.

Looked like he wanted to will the team forward and when they didn't he put the burden on his shoulders. He is alright I really like him.

Came into the game when we were struggling and didn't do a lot wrong. However, I wish koeman had given him more game time off the bench in recent weeks at goodison, when we had been scoring for fun and 'safe' in games.

Getting knocked off the ball by anyone that weighs more than 8 stone.

When the going rate for an average player is £10m, to spend the same on one for the future isn't really that much. Schlupp cost Palace £12m, would you rather him?
