Too early to judge but this thread is quiet for a reason...he is doing nothing noteworthy yet. I want to see his WC form, atm he just looks like a worse Willian bar that header which the GK was always gonna save anyway. Just hope it doesn't take him too long to settle in, really don't want him to become a Willian/Ramires hybrid.

Needs time, I think it's obvious that he wants to be the player who doesn't make a mistake more than the player who stands out, this attitude will change when he's more comfortable.

Also the Italian league to PL is insane in the differences.

Aston villa, Everton and PSG were largely useless games to go by

I don't know if he was operating under some instructions to keep pushing through the middle...never seemed to make an attempt to beat the wide man and put in a cross. In fact, I recall only 1 cross from him the entire game (which led to a corner).

Also, I don't know why we never attempt to do something basic, like push out wide and swing in a cross. Now we have a player that can do it and he just tries to exchange passes through the middle. Whereas teams like United keep swinging in crosses like mad.

That's not really working out for them.

Our main striker who would be the one getting those crosses to him is Diego Costa, who is too small and doesn't have that aerial ability needed.

I know, they are an extreme case, but that doesn't mean we have to be the polar opposite. Costa is far from below average when coming to heading and height is NOT an excuse. The lad is only an inch shorter than Terry and Drogba. And I'm not just talking about high crosses, I'm talking about low ones, cutbacks, et al.

Wasn't great yesterday, but a few times he made a good run and the pass just wasn't there for him.

Really encouraging to see the understanding he has already built with Hazard, and I'm sure it will come with the other AMs.

Hopefully when he becomes more comfortable he'll start taking a few more defenders on!

He played 15 minutes in a game we were 2 up in and not a lot needed to be done defensively or attacking. What more do you want from him :lol:

Not judging him yet as he needs more time.

Remember at one break though where he decided to slow it down and play it safe to Ramires or something instead of doing a Fabregas long ball to the running Costa/Hazard cross field. Other than that not much wrong. I think he needs more confidence and try those things instead of playing it safe, I also don't see he performing much of his famous dribbling skills yet, where is the player that tried to dribbled past the whole team for Fiorentina...

Nah I wasnt tlking about today game, but overall...while its completely normal he needs time to adjust and lot moree games, someone you spend 30m on has certain level of expectations.
