Roberto would have been happy to play on the blistering counter all match long. He's a counter-attacking manager. All this nonsense about his possession based philosophy is just wrong.

If he has McGeady and the best Eng midfielder Cleverley instead of Hazard and de Bruyne it did not go well does it. He needs the best talent or else it won’t work (counters and co) don’t you agree?
 
Let's hope he isn't going to turn out like Rodwell , We must be careful not to hype him up too much. Potential is there , but he needs time to grow into the squad
 
Just a quick note to say I was very impressed with him again on Saturday, and interesting he started the game as the number 10.

He ended up with about 5 assists in that first half, which is whats you will get from Dowell (obviously not 5 per game) but he has fantastic composure in the final third and runs with the ball with his head up.

I think he will create a lot of opportunities primarily for Tosun, but also Lookman & Walcott if he stays. He has long reminded me of Ozil, in that he is a luxury player but lays on a lot of chances for players around him.

He did drift out of the first half (and was knackered by the 2nd) but the fact Silva tried him in a second position is a positive. That is his big challenge really, to influence a game as much as possible and not get lost in a game.

Albeit against poor opposition it was a very promising performance from him.
 
The thing is, will we offer him a new contract at some point like we're doing with all these youngsters that aren't going to play a minute of first team football?
