Glad to see him given a chance at a proper level. God willing we get another lower league side next round, that way he will get another go in the first team.

Nice interview
He is buzzing. Zlatan is a huge influence at the club.
Like him a lot, but there wasn´t a lot to take away from his game. When he came on the game was basically over. Still looked very confident with his passing. Won´t hold that incident in our penalty box against him, because he at least showed the confidence to try to pass the ball isntead of hoofing it forward like most of our defenders do.
He makes me realise how Mancunian Pogba sounds.
One thing i saw from him today was his inability to understand that he needs to fall back as a CB when Smalling ran out as a RB. He did not seem to understand that wing-backs goes in to CB if CB for whatever reason end up in wing-back positions.
Love the part about Zlatan such a leader on and off the pitch.
Great to see him get his debut. Not much to do but one for the future

Great haircut!
Shake it on baby now,
Tuanzebe!
Twist and shout, twist and shout
C'mon c'mon c'mon Tuanzebe now,
Tuanzebe!
C'mon and work it on out.

Really hard to judge that performance given the score at the time, he was out of position, and how long he was on the pitch for.
Think if we get a lower team at home next round, we will see him again there.

Always difficult with young players who natural play CB as rarely do they seem to get their first game there. Often they start out wide before getting their chance and that's why it's hard to assess him today. I'd have taken Smalling off...
I can detect a hint of his Congolese roots in his accent
Awful haircut.
Love that Zlatan is giving these young lads advice.
Did ok. Needs more time in the team if we want him to eventually become a regular squad member.
He has a London grime accent mixed in with a bit of Rochdale northern if you ask me.
Poll?
Good stuff.
Is he from London then?
Born in Congo brought up in Rochdale but the 'multi cultural London dialect' seems to be spreading across the country from what I see.
Well TFM is out injured and I presume Jones and Rojo aren't in full training (maybe Shaw too?) so it makes sense that he is training with the first team.
This and the fact Mourinho is probably hoping to give him some minutes against Blackburn.
Both Rojo and Shaw are training today. No Rooney, Carrick or Jones.
Yep, there's been a bit of research recently showing that regional English accents are dying out - replaced by MLE (Multicultural London English) - this story from last year gives a decent summary
I'm from Rochdale (unfortunately) and I can assure you that we don't sound like grime artists.
That said I don't think Axel does either, he didn't when he was younger anyway, maybe if he does now he's picked it up from players in the academy?

Not in the 18 for the FA Cup. Disappointing, but under Jose entirely expected.
We have Smalling, Bailly, Jones and Rojo all deserving starting positions. 4 players battling for 2 positions, all currently playing to a high standard.
The exclusion of Tuanzebe is hardly surprising.
He is not ready by a long stretch.
TFM not in the squad is more disappointing but he has been poor when selected this season.
Jones is injured and Jose has been complaining about a fixture pile up. Playing Axel would make sense.
Even with Jones injured, the 3 others deserve to be starting.
None of the CB's need a rest for the fixture congestion, as they have all had spells sitting out this season for one reason or another.
Your agenda in every single thread you participate in really is tiresome.
You don't like Jose, we get it.
Tuanzabe was needed for the U23's today particularly as Poole is suspended.
He has been very poor in recent games against Derby and Reading as well and is not physically or mentally ready to play CB at this level.
I have no agenda. I think we have a few really promising young players and Id like to see them given a chance.
*look for a youth team player that isn't in the first team squad. Blame Jose*FIFA is the Andre Marriner of video games:
After Blind's performance, he might deserve a shot...
We should give him a shot alongside Bailly but its not gonna happen. It'll be Blind at CB against Burnley.
TFM would be ahead of him no?
I think Jose see's him more as a fullback but you may be right.
