The Skipper

Not good enough sorry (for us anyway). This is coming from a Ghanaian who's followed his career avidly. Maybe as a squad player max. We've got a player that's so much better than Dede in his position anyway (Eden).

Did you get goosebumps when you saw the money City were offering too Frank?

I would say Willian has excellent balance, control of the ball and speed/acceleration. What he lacks though is obviously that killer instinct. Sterling has shown flashes of that though. He's only 20 and will improve a lot under Jose in my mind.

Cech also had a super defence in front of him in Gallas, JT, Carvalho, A. Cole, Paulo etc.

Because he's built up his reputation. Give Tibo some time and he'll get the same.

Jose bought Cesc mate...Also funny how Reus is suddenly a flashy player that doesn't work hard. Same with Isco.

Go take a look to how the fans reacted to DDG's first season at United...

Cech Ivanovic - Cahill - JT - Ake Matic - RLC Boga - Willian - Fabregas Solanke

When did Jose say that?

you guys are incredible.

One thing I will agree on is Ake's future at LB though. I think he can easily provide us a good squad rotation option there - especially is Luis is going. If not he should definitely go out on loan to a PL club where he'll get all the game time in the world. He's a good player already, interesting to see how he'll develop with regular game time.

You're not being fair at all IMO. This is RLC 2nd's senior game, too harsh.

Girl: Cesc, can you come over right now? Cesc: I can't right now baby, playing against West Brom at the moment. Girl: But I'm horn- Cesc:

Ake came on when the game was at 3-0, how can you even put any substance into him having a good game? I don't understand. He was alright, didn't do anything spectacular. Who's sugarcoating performances now?

Hero. Boom. Headshot.

So you rate Ake's game as so good but thought RLC's performance was very very average?

...or you could just watch some youth games and decide for yourself as well...

Watch the ball to Costa again, he wasn't offside, the replay showed that he was just onside. How about when West Brom were on the break (I think it was a 3 v 2/3 situation) and RLC did brilliant defensively to prevent it? Considering the circumstances, he had a good game and was definitely one of our better players. Had a few nice dribbles as well. He's still playing within himself though, but that's expected considering this his second PL game. You guys are just too harsh.

Luis was awful, probably his worst game in a CFC shirt but Cahill wasn't exactly brilliant either. Cesc didn't even play much for anyone to call him a flop even though what he did was stupid, and Costa, well, this is first game in months so what else were we going to expect?

To me, he shouldn't even be playing as a 6 because that just restricts him. He's a pure B2B midfielder and hasn't really been allowed to do such. It was a good game from him, honestly. You clearly haven't watched him for the youth team at all... Give him some time. This is the kid's second PL game and he's still playing within himself, so imagine a confident RLC strutting his usual stuff? The through ball to Costa was fine btw, linesman made a mistake. I think apart from his ball to Hazard, he didn't give the ball away. Give him some time to feel comfortable. Commentators even thought he was superb. He had three or four dribbles in the game that was more like the usual Loftus-Cheek. I'm waiting for him to get more game time and get more confident, and get used to PL football a bit more. He's coming along nicely.

Don't forget he was out injured for quite a long time.

How did he look clueless? Was he ever caught out of position? Admittedly, his strengths definitely isn't defensively but he still had a good game in that regards. He wasn't the flashiest but was composed, tidy. Played a bit within himself though. I'd like to see him take a few more risks. I'm not really gonna compare Ake to him either considering Ake has been part of the senior side for much longer and has had a lot more games. Plus the fact that they're different players.

RLC was really good today. EDIT: Can't believe Matic missed that.

Remy is quality. So unlucky.
