He is going to be great in a couple of years and hopefully that’ll be with us. Him and Amad are the two only gems we have at the club

Nonsense. Yoro is a brilliant CB talent, Mainoo is absolutely a gem in midfield, then Bruno is definitely top class/probably world class for me.

I've also been one of his critics, but fair play he did really well today. Decision making was on point, passed when he should have, dribbled when he had to, defended when he was needed, and gave us an outlet when we desperately needed one. Needs to build on that, as really need him to produce against Sociedad.

I think playing on the right forces him to pass more because the cut in and shoot option has less appeal for him. The end result is a better player.

Hopefully he can keep this up until the end of the season, it'll drive his price up and we can reinvest the money in a player that doesn't have the same fundamental flaws in his game.

All young players have fundamental flaws in their game. Should we just bin them all off because they're not the finished article yet.

Like people have said he's better in space but if he wants to be the guy for us going forward he has to learn to do it against low blocks. This was the Rashford problem and he never figured it out.

Learning to trust the overlap, becoming more of a give and go merchant around the box and looking up when crossing would be a good start.

Of course not, but that doesn’t take mean we should keep them all on the off chance they all become world beaters. Garnacho is a player that divides opinion, and whilst there are some sound reasons for keeping him, there are also some sound arguments for selling him. He does have some pretty fundamental flaws and limitations that could affect his ceiling, so it’s not an unreasonable debate to have.

Only saw the highlights but he definitely looked dangerous today.

That isn't at all true. They will have flaws, but the ones that stand a chance of making at the top level will have flaws that can be addressed.

Garnacho's flaws are the kind that are permanent.

For starters, he isn't fast enough, either in pace or acceleration, which is one of the main reasons he struggles to beat players (he has one of the lowest take on success rates in the league). That's not something that can change.

He also plays with his head down, which is a big contributor to his being so selfish and wasteful, as he doesn't know what the rest of the pitch looks like when he's on the ball. He'd need to rebuild his game from the ground up in order to rectify this.

If we want to get back to the top level, he's miles away from ever being at the level we need. His ceiling for us is as an impact substitute who we can roll the dice with.

 

[RikRuud]

Much better. I hope he knows this is expected of him every game.

 

[Oldham]

Was very good today...

 

[Dominos]

Refusing to pass to Colyer was really annoying.

Pretty good game other than that.
