"No back up" that's the most genuine part of the post..
I mean the narrative at this point is basically becoming that he can't adapt away from home and I think having seen him play a decent bit that the narrative might need to be the kid isn't all that good of a footballer.
And yes he's young, but we're talking about abnormal growth when someone starts out at a point this low to get to a place where they're even an above average player. I've mentioned the name Ben Godfrey before and that's what I'm seeing so far. Sometimes bad young players in a bad team are still just bad players who need to grow too much for it to be realistic.
I'm trying to be positive here, I swear I am, but I don't even know what we are supposed to hang our hat on here. He looks overmatched physically, overmatched mentally, and his level of skill doesn't seem to make up for it. There aren't even flashes of ability. And I'm a guy who is willing to hang onto flashes for a very long time! They aren't happening here.
