Josh McEachran

[Jose M 140]

Some words From the Boro fans after Josh's game.

http://josh-mceachran.com/news/2012/08/22/boro-fans-first-thoughts-on-josh-mceachran-after-he-made-his-debut/

andrewparkes : he had a very solid game, passing and vision were first class. Looks comfortable on the ball and hardly wasted a pass all night, looks like he will settle in well and become an important player for us this season.

garymarz : Definitely Man Of The Match for me last night, as p_mards said he was picking passes out which made you think where the hell has he kicked that, and it ends up being a through ball to someone you didn’t even see. He just kept the ball moving and linked up really well, best debut I’ve ever seen anyway, keep it up Josh!

starbuy : McEachran: 9/10 A couple of nervy touches in the first 10 minutes, after which I don’t think he put a foot wrong. Class above and so comfortable on the ball with good decision making. Going to be a great signing if he keeps it up. My Man of the match over the 90 minutes.

Great to see Josh had a good debut, I was a bit worried since he had only been there for 2 days. Keep it up Josh.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

It seems he picked the perfect team. He's sure to get loads of playing time there and can develop and impress. I always knew Josh's passing and vision had the potential to be a class above. He'd be brilliant in a 4-3-3. He is definitely a regista in the making. However I think the only way he'd get playing time here would be in the double pivots.

Encouraging to hear him performing well in his first game. Hope he keeps it up.

2 thing's a young player needs to make it at a club challenging at the top, firstly the quality to do it and secondly the patience to wait for the break through.

Josh has the first and then some, if he has the second then he will be a top top player for us, no doubt about it.

"I wanted to go to a team that played good football and as we saw tonight, Middlesbrough play good football," the 19-year-old told BBC Tees.

"There are top players here, it's not a big step down."

"I trained with the boys on Monday, we worked on shape play, and then I started the game," he said.

"It's my first 90 minutes for a bit so I had to find my feet but as the game went on I thought I did better and better."

"I hope Middlesbrough get promoted and I'm part of it," said McEachran.

"I've played with some of the boys when we've been with England U21 - the likes of Jason Steele, Joe Bennett, Luke Williams - so that has helped.

"I'm still trying to find a place to live up here and when I do that and am settled, things will get even better."

Mowbray on Josh :

"He'll enable us to be as fluent as we want to be really, and then if teams come pressing us he has the quality to pick the passes to the strikers and the other midfield players who are playing higher up.".

Fair to say he's enjoying himself there.

I fear for him regardless how well he does on loan. I can't see how he can play in the same side as Oscar, this is so sad as he'll become a great player at another club.

[DDA 9,690]

McEachran is Oscar..Oscar is McEachran

[Tomo 21,733]

I fear for him regardless how well he does on loan. I can't see how he can play in the same side as Oscar,

The same was said about Duff and Robben once upon a time.

[Jase 43,479]

He starts for Boro again against Crystal Palace.

[blu35_army 551]

any streaming link???

[Hamilton 2,120]

Does Haroun also start?

[Kinol 337]

Seems like Mceachran is having a fantastic game today!!!

[Justin_3d 1,140]

any streaming link???

I second this.

[Tomo 21,733]

He just gave away a penalty

[FormerRussianSpy 163]

From the Boro forum regarding McEachran's overall performance:

what a prospect completely bossed the first half, never rushed a always looking forward could be the best signing weve made in ages, shame its only on loan

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Honestly a bit surprised by all the positive comments by the Boro fans considering Josh gave away a pen.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

So happy for Josh. Always knew he had a large reserve of Talent in him. The only problem is Oscar. I can't see where Josh would play if Oscar will play the Lampard role.
