Jeremie Boga

Good performance.  The talent is clearly there.

I don't want his performance to be overrated here though.  He did well, but it left a few question marks for me too.  He didn't seem super willing to make runs off the ball and seemed content with playing it safe.  I wouldn't call his performance "direct" as some have.  He didn't really drive with the ball directly at the goal, instead being safe, taking the ball away from defenders.  Once he passed it or lost it, he often stood still.  Part of this may have been he was fatigued (he seemed very tired in the second half especially).  Part of it may just be he preferred to play it safe and not take too many risks.  Part of it may be confidence.  

He has all the talent and physical tools, but I worry about it translating to the first team.  It was a mostly positive performance.  Hopefully he grows in confidence.

I wouldn't be against giving Boga a real chance in the first team next season. At some stage some of these players need to be given opportunities and the way in which that happens is you have a smaller squad depth which gives 2 or 3 of these players game time throughout the season.

I actually rate Pedro and Willian far higher than most do on this forum. They would walk into any other team in the league except perhaps City. Very experienced, quick, and high work rate which balances the team out well. Hazard is obviously the X factor and the main man. If Boga can be this direct and confident in competitive games, he could be a young, hungry wildcard option and a very good option to bring off the bench in some games where you need something different.

Strong performance. He showed good maturity not to try and dribble every time he had possession. Been a Boga fan since forever so I'm happy for him. Well deserved.

I will seriously prefer if Boga didn't go on loan next season and instead was integrated into the first team. I've always considered him our biggest talent in the youth team (which is saying a LOT). Hazard, Willian, Pedro and Boga. That's just scary. Please, Antonio make it happen.

Can integrate him and use him as 4th option or we can go and buy decent-not-world-class player in Mahrez ilk to completely block the path for our youngster. Those are decisions.

Boga surrounded with quality can be something else. Eden Hazard + Jeremie Boga playing in one side is a dream.

I was just sold a dream. Thanks Ospina.

Was impressed, but need to see more of him to decide if he's worthy of a squad place or not. Not gonna hype him too much just because he produced some good moves in a meaningless friendly game.

Good game, incredibly tricky player with some great footwork. Key is his physical build that's the biggest problem with Musonda is he looks like a 13 year old physically. Would like to see Boga get a spot this year and get some decent run.

Looked good, there's no questioning his raw talent. 

Decision making was not that good IMO and he was too selfish at times for my liking.. Although its a friendly pre-season and probably the only minutes he'll get this season so its understandable.

What I liked was the fact he kept of running, it looked really tiring out there and he just seemed to have so much energy.
