Still not convinced he’s a winger like
Definitely think he'll move inside over time.

Thought he had a really good game. Really interesting thing was he was giving Patterson instructions on marking runners which seemed to be a very senior thing for a youngster to do. Hoping that, together with his flair moves coming in tonight, is evidence of his confidence building.
He could be an absolute Rolls Royce of a player, this kid.

Not perfect, but a few times held the ball amongst 3 of their players, wriggled free and made a simple pass into space, when the easiest thing was to chip it aimlessly down the line and just wait for their next attack. Brave with the ball given the match situation, and also knowing they may just clatter him to try and get the ball.
Thought he supported Patto then Rohl quite well, at least getting back into shape quickly so they weren’t isolated. Maybe it helped him playing ahead of young RBs thrown into the firing line with him, so they could buddy up a bit and dig in together. The right side looked a danger early on, but they got to grips with it as the game went on.
Got his rewards for the hard work in the closing minutes when they left more space for him to play in.
Best thing for him will be playing the whole game, not all of it pretty, getting an amazing result and being a proper part of all the hugging and high fiving after the game that he was genuinely a part of. Will have done more for his integration than a dozen 10 minute cameos with the senior players and for his own confidence.
Think we can finally take his personnel file out of the “oh no, might be a bit crap” drawer.

he worked his socks off tonight - promising signs when you get a game .....
He instantly looked better playing with a natural full back behind him. And Patterson isn't exactly a top level right back.

Can see he's still just a kid, has some growing to do physically and mentally.
But the close control is seriously impressive. 2 players on him most of the game and they were never comfortable to commit to a challenge, very reminiscent of Grealish in that sense. Some good link up with Patterson as well.
In a couple of years could look like a bargain imo.

Very hard to get the ball off him when its at his feet.
Super player. The type of age and quality i'd like us to sign more of.

Could have been trusted all season.
Makes sense …
Nottingham is closer to his home and he played better …
The closer he gets to Southampton… the better he plays … like Kryptonite the the opposite effect
