….decent end of the season for him, wonder if he was the central striker again.

He was

Some of the goalkeeping and defending from both teams was embarrassing to say the least

Real fox in the box this lad.

Some of the defending was unortodox.

SOme.difference between this level and PL

Watched them thinking they are all real Tim Cahill goals.

….seemed to find space at the back post, lots of similarity in those finishes.

I think they beat Urawa 3-1, can't find anything about their game against Partizan

I think it may be a bit hard when we have 3 fully fit Centre forwards to find him minutes before the end of the season especially with a good few of us wanting to see what Chermiti can offer.

But it would be a nice reward for the lad if a bench spot comes available to involve him there and possibly giving him 5-10 minutes of at least one game.

As much as we would love seeing these lads pop up on the bench, i don't think its great for squad harmony if Moyes opts not to involve someone like Young for example for a token gesture

I’m not sure if I see him being a Center forward long term. Seems to have a good engine and work ethic, would seem him slotting in very well as a sort of wide forward or advanced number 10/shadow striker playing off a bigger CF.
Interesting thing is we seem to have a decent selection of number 10 types coming up in the years below him.

2-0 down at HT

What he did really nicely is the old adage of get himself between the sticks 6 yards out time and again.

He looks levels above most young players at doing that, and a natural finisher too. There's a little bit of Francis Jeffers in there too, and I know people who have watched him say Gordon, but I'm not sure I see that as much.

He's got a lot to live up to to emulate Warren Aspinall
