Moments of occasional brilliance, but keeps the ball far too long. Not gonna fly in England unless he develops aggression.
 
Good feet for a big man but he needs everything to be done at a lower gear. Even when he beats players with technique he often spills it because he can't make the pass fast enough to deal with the pressure.

Like Antony, can see him going to a slower, less physical league and looking the dog's bullocks. However, Amorim is not going to play with Zirkzee as a false #9 and people running off him. Even if he did would Zirkzee ever play fast enough to make the most of his holdup play in English football? Not sure.
 
Thought he played well and one of our better players - probably more a sign of where we are as club than him though.
 
A for the effort. Some good moments. He does lack in physical traits. But he doesn't look so hopeless anymore and looks like a player who can flourish in specific systems and top leagues.
 
That was one of his better games for us and he's still getting roasted :lol: I think he's improved a fair bit from that disaster of a game he had earlier in the season but still lacks the qualities to give decent output consistently. Hopefully he'll keep improving since we're lacking options but I fear it won't be this season where he turns into a player we thought he could be.
 
Tidy player to watch but has zero real positive impact on the game. Like one of those 5-a-side players who is technically good but all you have to do is stand off them and they will do sweet feck all.
 
A mixed bag. Felt like he lost possession a lot but there were times when he did well with it too. I never have much confidence he'll score a goal though. If he gets to 8 goals for this season i'd be surprised at this point.
 
Produces feck all, but at least he does something you can throw into a Youtube highlights video a couple of times a game.
 
A tidy player but not someone that is remotely suited to the English game.
 
Does a few tidy movements but produces feck all. And I never thought for a moment he would score the penalty
 
Throws a few shapes, has a few nice touches, the occasional nutmeg or two, and I think some fans are being taken in by that at the moment.

But from a chance creation point of view, does f**k all.

Put one on a plate for Garnacho to feck up

He isn’t bad but isn’t good enough i’m afraid. When I look at him play, I see he has good composure on the ball, putting efforts, but is he a player that will help take us to the next level? I really don’t see that.
 
Good close control and technique, but not hard to play against as he plays at a walking pace

There's a player in there, but not in the EPL, I fear. Not the player's fault, purely down to awful recruitment - another case of you guys not doing due diligence

Would be interesting to see him in a more cohesive team, however.
 
Tremendous performance in the 120 minutes.. Held the ball well, played some good through balls, notably the one that gave Garnacho a 1 v 1 and wasted. Unlucky with the penalty, but even if he'd scored it, Onana wasn't going to save any today.
 
Best game for us but hard to see him being a regular in any sort of functioning top 6 team
 
Has some great moments, lovely player at times, decent attitude…but sadly, running in treacle wearing lead boots means it’s just not going to happen here.

I agree. But I can see him having a nice career in a top team in Spain or Italy. So at least I am positive he can be sold without big losses.
 
I must have watched a different game I thought he was shocking he's nowhere near the standard of player for the premier league, I don't think a newly promoted team would sign him.

Def watched a different game.
 
Hate this new phrase but he strikes me as a play suited to the cage. Seems to bae a bag of tricks but zero tactical awareness.
 
He got bullied off the ball all game
Think it was 50/50. I think he had good moments but equally showed some qualities. I honestly think as a new player to this team this season, I think he has shown enough for another one....

We'll be relegated if he's still playing for us as a starter
