Good player and will be good for us. Just needs to learn to use his size when confronted with big cart horses like them.

Will never have played in such a hectic and physical midfield battle, so did well I think and will get much better when up to speed
Looked good early on, tired quite quickly though, looks a player, I think this lad will look the bizz once he's settled.
As I said after the Palace game, ‘he will be alright’.

I think he is getting overly criticised, he was actually OK at Palace, its just that he got caught in possession and that was the only thing people remembered about him. I think he was fine today, Watford have a very physical central midfield and he got stuck in. The only thing I would say is that as the game went on he seemed to drop a little deep for me, he was almost playing as a third CB, I'm not sure if this was an instruction from the manager or his own decision though
....I get the impression Silva particularly rates him. We might be a bit stretched in this area and Gbamin has been open about not yet being fully fit, yet Silva has thrown him into the deep end, despite having Davies available. Much different approach to how Kean is being handled.

Puts people on the weights, runs forward 90% of the time, loves a tackle, 6 years younger than both Delph and Schneiderlin, with 200 fewer PL games than both. What's not to be positive about? He will be fine
The signs are good with him I think.
Think he is going to fine, i really like him the potential is there for all to see in reagrd to natural talent, the lad has serious natural attributes, its adjusting to the pace and intensity of the league. thats Marcos job of work.
Reminds me of the spot Yerry was in when he first came.
Two clean sheets.

The sort of rustiness we’re seeing is what is normally ironed out when a transfer can be made at the beginning of pre-season not the end.
I like him. No bad thing that he's such a good size as well.
He will be brilliant I think. Ideally he wouldn't be starting now but he's had to. I particularly liked him bullying a Watford player off the ball. Was like a Gueye type tackle. Once he's up to speed, we'll forget Gueye. Also, although they've been misplaced, he has a passing range.
Does anyone else remember the games Vs Watford last year, we out muscled out battled and lacked any real significant presence in midfield a loss and a draw. Simply put we were out grocked by them in midfield last year.
Make no mistake about it JP helped us in this regard yesterday.
