nymzee has it right here. so 1 in 9 isn't bad for a kid whos in a new team country etc.the early part of the year did him no favous at all.playing under silva in a team and players who had no confidence and no clue. . people are too quick to jump on the kids back before hes been given a fair run in a settled team.

I agree with the basis of your point, but I think it's also fair to question why he hasn't been given a run of games. We can all talk about patience and his age and whatever, and it's all valid to a point. At the end of the day though, if somebody had told you when we signed him that by March he still wouldn't have played 90 minutes, and would only have scored one goal, would you have been quite content? My money's on no, and that's why people are a bit edgy about him.

I wouldn't have been happy but then again I didn't expect us to be so poor at the beginning of the season.if we were playing better and with the confidence we ended last season with I think he would have got more game time and been able to play without pressure on him. constantly bringing him on chasing games pressures on him and maybe it got to him the shambles that was marco silvas everton. I think he needs games.maybe Carlo don't rate him or trust him can't see it as he tried himself to sign the lad. maybe Carlo is playing who he considers his better players and who he thinks can get us some much neesed results.Im willing to give him in to next season if I'm honest until then I'm fence sitting.
