Kieran Dowell

Hes the closest we've got to a pienaar type, surprised we've not seen anything of him this season. Hopefully gets a run out in the final games

 

[loooweee]

Theese goals remind of rivaldo tbh! Can't wait to see him play

 

[loooweee]

Yes imagine if we get a left foot pienaar type of player playing on the left the mind boogels !

He's just a kid... yes, he may break in, but expecting him to be our number 10 immediately is silly.

Even Rooney and Barkley eased their way in to the set up. In the modern era, look at how Harry Kane earned his shot, or how Rashford was brought into the first team setup in November but only got a game in late February.

His progression after that display should be the odd place on the bench and training amongst the first team squad for the run in, and then look to include him in pre-season amongst the senior set-up, with the aim to include him in the match day squad and involve him if good enough from August/September.

I have a lot of sticks to beat Martinez with, and one isn't going to be a reluctance to rush in a kid from the youth set up.

It'd be nice to see him on the bench, but the lads only 18. Don't let's expect too much of him.

Why would you do that when you can have an "excuse" if a striker playing there???

Sorry for the probably stupid question, but where can this guy play? I gathered primarily he's a number 10, but can he play on the wings/striker as well or?

Usually behind the striker but sometimes on the right cutting in from the pieces of games I've seen bluegirl.
Other people will have seen more of him so don't take it as gospel but that's the impression I've got.

He was a winger until he got moved into the number 10 position this season - although he's definitely thrived there. He's like a Pienaar sort of player.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Looked good in pre season. Then got injured sadly. Hopefully we see him break through at some point, he's the exact type of player we need.

I've seen him left wing, left of a front three, number 10 and on the right.

Versatile but I like him as a number 10 best.

Not convinced the club should be heaping needless expectation and pressure on this lad.

I mean, c'mon?

I know we're scrambling around for anything positive at the minute, but not convinced it should be to the heaped pressure on a young lad.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Just noticed it has continued;

And still, as I type...

TBF they were three absolute screamers. Not every day it happens that a youth player scores a hattrick let alone three pearlers.
Agree about pressure but also good for the lad to get some acknowledgement and appreciation too.
