2020/21 Niels Nkounkou

[Lelouch]

This man is going to the very top.

 

[AmericasToffee]

Steal of a signing. Nice one Marcel.

 

[stretford blue]

Saw a bit more of him defensively tonight and isn't disappoint an absolute steal

 

[Osamabindiesel]

James stole the possession from him tonight. Nkou wasn’t as involved as a result, but he didn’t look out of place at all.

 

[maccavennie]

That waa his best performance tonight because he showed he had discipline and was tactically aware. Very mature performance.

 

[blueloon]

You’d say he was under instruction not to venture forward as much this time , there were occasions when Richarlison had the ball and I was expecting him to be overlapping but he was 30 yards behind. Hes clearly got the engine to bomb up and down all match so it was a good disciplined show from him and a decent performance.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Ventured forward when given the opportunity but always chased back. Very athletic and disciplined performance. Absolute gem.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Don't think I've ever seen a youth player, who had no senior appearances prior, come in and look so completely at ease. Going to be some player this lad.

Perv!

 

[Andy_Oz]

Fair play whichever scout spotted this lad

 

[Verbal Kint]

Defensively rock solid.

Carlo must have told him not to show off tonight.

 

[Blue Juice]

The fact that he clearly followed instructions to the letter is just as impressive as the games where he showed more going forwards

 

[Mikey O]

Didn't look out of place tonight - excellent signing and at such a great price; well done team

 

[Zezti]

Didn't look phased against Yarmolenko did he.
Not much bombing down the flanks tonight but neither did the right side so it was probably a tactical thing.

Tick the box for 'Can defend at PL level'. Not many boxes left to tick...

 

[Abraders]

Brilliant. Hope he keeps it up.
