Really impressed with him, going to be beast.

No comment.

I'm going to say my view.

Didnt want him due to injuries.

Made a couple of good passes from all of his sub appearances.

Looks like a headless chicken in midfield. Has no idea what hes doing on the ball. In short for me looked utterly dreadful.

Moved to RB and a clear level down on Pattersons performance. Wrong side of their players several times but got into position last minute.

Not a right back so fair play to him for not making any glaring errors.

Overall looks nowhere near good enough.

However, been mostly injured and joined on the last day of the window. Lets see if he shows something on the ball next game.

Did look lost at times, he’s nowhere near a ten though by any stretch. He’s been better when he’s been in the two behind.

Agree he did alright at right back, he actually made a really good interception from a cross though too.

He looks miles away from match fitness/sharpness - not sure we can make any calls yet.

Yes thats my concern. His match fitness/sharpness will take a few games to get back up to speed and then he may (hopefully not) get injured again.

That seemed the pattern at Freiburg.

Really want to see him do something on the ball but the times he could have driven past their defender he ran into him. Milenkovic i think it was, top defender but surely hes a big chap, hard to run into him haha

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

I thought he did okay tonight. Maybe a 7/10. He has nice breakaway speed and is looking to press with the ball. I’d rather see that than all the momentum halts from Dibling. He’s a solid sub for sure.

 

[banno]

He is not quite ready for a midfield role just yet IMO. Needs a bit more time. Good bits and bad bits but looked capable at RB

 

[Andy McGurk]

RATM know

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Needs time and an injury free spell of training and little bits of playing time here and there. I think next season if he has a good pre season he'll be a good squad member

 

[jazzy]

Don't know what to make of him. Does some good things then gives the ball away in dangerous positions.

One thing is very clear though. Moyes loves him and trusts him explicitly

 

[Nymzee]

Does he maybe get another start at RB? I doubt it mind if Keane is back.

Its crazy that Jake O'Brien looks like Cuco Martina with the ball at right back, yet when he's at centre half he strides out with the ball with confidence.

He's played centre half twice now, motm in one, 2nd motm behind Garner tonight.

Aye I’d keep him there but it will definitely Keane back in and JOB to RB

Im bemused about him as i dont think anyone has said anything about him positively apart from running around?

Very good point this. He definitely trusts him especially to drop him to RB.

Makes no logical sense to me so far but there you go haha.

 

[IrishBlue2022]

Not up to speed at all and completely off the pace. Understandable with his stop/start season but needs to really improve in the second half of the season to show any value to the squad.

I'd be tempted once again to give minutes to Patterson and keep Jake centre half. Depends what Keanes injury is

I reckon he’s just caught the bug with Charly myself.
