Tyler Onyango

[mightymoyes]

I really doubt thar Benitez will start him given his preference for experience. Let’s not forget Onyango has not got any PL minutes under his belt, only FA cup minutes. I would like to see him get 20 mins off the bench first , youngsters often talk about the step up in pace and energy needed at PL level taking them by surprise . While I don’t believe he’d be out of place alongside Doucoure for 20 mins, he’s not a natural “ game changer” so you wouldn’t send him on to win a game, more to hold what you’ve already got.

he got a minute vs man city when we were 3 nil down mate

If he has the talent, I wouldn’t be decimating his confidence by throwing him into the middle in a game in which he’ll be overrun and we’ll be thrashed.

That can be managed by setting him small and manageable targets. For example tell him if he looks throughout the match as if he hasn't had a large dose of general anaesthetic, he will earn a start in the next game. Then in the next game set him a target of tackling 1 opposition player in 90 minutes, then in the next to pass to one of his own team mates etc...

Do you think it’s in Benitez to manage a young player like that?

 

[ossie_21]

He’s a player involved with the first team squad and doesn’t have his own thread

Play on, seen another thread but it was for 2020/21

Not in the managers detailed analysis of the squad he prepared before being appointed, so technically Tyler does not exist.

Bloody hell Billy, that would make him MOTM in game three if he met those goals.

Exactly, it's a low bar mate

He'd have to fit into the managers tactics though, so it would be:

1. Sit back and hold your shape regardless of what is happening.
2. Do not press or attempt to win the ball at any cost.
3. If the ball breaks free near you try not to break shape but if you can get it kick it as hard as you can up the pitch.

Allan is available isn't he? so it'll be him and Doucoure I'd imagine.

It's the back 4 where we're short without Mina, Digne, and now Coleman.

 

[Billy Dean]

Will put you down for sponsorship of his thread mate...

Go 'ed then mate, tell me what I have to do.

 

[blueconverse]

Give him a start in a 3 and see what happens. We need more height in midfield

He'll cover more ground than Gomes that's for sure.

 

[allen]

I thought he looked pretty good today. I can see him being Dunc’s kind of player - in that he’s absolutey massive.

Looking forward to seeing more of him.

 

[sageyefc]

Got a similar stature to fellaini

 

[atypicalusername]

Very young, very raw. Could end up being a player but not convinced he's an upgrade on someone like Davies or Allan for the moment. Hope he proves me wrong though.
