Like I said the first time he played and bossed it in his debut: So clearly the best midfielder we have at the club. Technique, composure, athleticism, IQ, and just plays the game on a higher level than anyone else we have. Get more that can play on his level and we'll go somewhere instead of the suicidal brainlets we have currently.

Kobbie Big Bollocks
Guys a pisstake at 18 years old.
Pedri level of talent.
Pedri level of talent.
I mean, dude, what a moment, legendary shit that goal, meg, step inside and a sweet curve into the corner like some sort of Ronaldinho/Makele hybrid.
Ridiculous potential.
Ridiculous potential.
Whatever happens with the new structure he has to absolutely be part of the setup going forward.
Press resistant, composure on the ball, good passing range.
It's like we found our own Frenkie De Jong.

Feet on the ground and he can be the best. What a fecking goal
Shades of Martial vs Liverpool there
I hope he becomes twice the player though

Kids a star. What composure.
Think I was being too harsh. He’s more Pedri level. Phenom.
Take a bow lad, lovely goal, so composed.
This kid is just spectacular on every level. Unfazed, poised, always in control. On a different planet to the other two midfielders in the team today.
The defining characteristic of Kobbie's game is composure. He always looks like he has time because he's always thought ahead before he gets the ball. That's what you see with that winner. He's read the game around him and he almost looks like he's gliding past opponents, because his anticipation and judgement is so good. Considering the amount of money we have wasted on midfielders over the past decade, we can say God has smiled on us to have this kid come through our academy.
He's an enormous talent, will be absolutely huge for us if he stays fit.
Ridiculous goal.
So fortunate we have him. Sky's the limit.
Imagine we had a functioning team alongside him 
Reminds me of Pedri too. Certainly reminds me of him at 18 with how composed and mature he is on the ball.
Would love to see highlights package of todays game!
Kobbie ”balls of steel” Mainoo
Best composure of all our players. Absolute class act.

He has the qualities that you can't teach.
What a fecking player. Was my man on the match before the goal. Then he goes and does that. What composure, and what a finish.
I can't stop watching it
Spot on.
He had the calmness and composure at a time of complete chaos. A very special boy, and our best midfielder today by a mile.
I don't think I've celebrated a goal as wildly as is did for this one since Machedaaaaa. This won't be a title decider but there's just something special about a late winner from an academy product. Let's hope he has a better career than Kiko, signs sure are promising.
Good first half, mostly with the ball winning side of things and okay on the ball. Second half Wolves came onto us and our midfield struggled to have as much impact. But then he came up with an outstanding goal showing his composure and technique to help lead his team to 3 points at 18 years old. Might be the future captain at this rate. I had Lisandro Martinez or Hoijlund as man of the match before that individual goal, but Mainoo got my vote after the goal.
He has time like all the best players have. Knows what to do far quicker than his more illustrious team mates.
Didn’t know he had that in his game, would honestly say he’s the most exciting young CM around right now.
He’s wasted as a 6
He is smooth as silk. Was ready to praise his performance even before that goal but holy shit 
dribbled past three players and slotted it home in the 97th minute like it was nothing. Absolutely oozes class. Kid is special.
dribbled past three players and slotted it home in the 97th minute like it was nothing. Absolutely oozes class. Kid is special.It's the fact that he's only 18 that kills me everytime.
The way he carried the ball near our box while being pressed by three Wolves players as if there wasn't anyone near him towards the end of the game was as impressive as the goal for me. That's some ridiculous composure and press-resistance.
That might actually beat Garnachos for my favourite goal this season. Bloody class watching it back
Even his celebration was pure chill
I know we hype our kids a lot but we’ve not had a player with this skill set come through probably since Scholesy.

Kid is beyond special. A diamond in a sea full of shit.
Build the team around him

So great! Small detail here is that Forson makes the run that drags away the defender, so Mainoo has the space for the shot.
He is now just firmly in the best starting XI, which is a bit crazy. But if you're good enough, you're old enough and all that.
My throat still hurts from when Evra put us 1-0 up against Bayern. I really thought we could do something…
Anyway Mainoo what a player. Team has to be built around him.i loved the celebration.
Evans can't stop laughing.
He carries himself like a seasoned pro, very rare to see for a player that age.
If you watched him for England under 18 or United Yoith team he was this all action midfield player, he’s always been more of an 8 than a 6, the litte cheeky Meg before he drifts parts players and curls it in the corner. That goal might just have save ETH job for a few more weeks !
