Lovely glimpse of what he can do. Great crossing ability clearly and was very tidy. Might not be up there yet with the pattern play but defo not a bad option to have if we want to get it wide and get it in the box. Ferguson will love him in time

Don’t buy the ‘not ready’ bollocks.

If you’re good enough, you’re ready enough!

He was quality. Looked strong and confident on the ball, kept possession, made loads of positive runs, and that whipped cross into Welbeck was right on the money. He did plenty in that short cameo to make a case for being ready.

Not ready my arse

Hope hegets a run at Fulham to get “ready” then he can assist a couple against Roma please

If you’re good enough, you’re ready enough!

If RDZ thinks he's not yet ready, I can only assume the Italian wants to coach him out of delivering a quick ball into the box. One touch and then a dangerous ball into the penalty area - we looked more threatening than we had all game.

Our problem isn't fannying around at the back, it's fannying around at the front.

Same with me and Baleba needs to be given game time, he cost a lot so must be good enough

I love RDZ but he’s got to be questioned on the way he’s handling and impacting certain players:

- Goalkeepers with the strange rotation policy
- lack of faith in Baleba
- lack of faith in Ferguson
- lack of faith in Moder

Or maybe he's just right about them ?

Judged on what basis? All of them aren’t being given decent runs in the side?

Baleba granted is raw and untested, but we know what Moder and Ferguson are capable of. They need minutes. Ferguson is the future, Fati isn’t.

Judged on the basis that he sees them every day in training.

At this stage of the season we need to look at 'now' players, not future ones.

For me, Baleba is clearly one we got wrong. £25m wrong. Happy to look foolish with that statement if he comes good.

Fati over Ferguson? Let’s agree to disagree.

Lack of faith in Ferguson and Moder? :shrug:

Moder is being bought back slowly but surely form a huge injury, I’d say so far he’s getting complete faith from the manager.

All had minutes and you don‘t see them for hour after hour in training but do carry on :shrug:
