I’ve yet to be impressed by him, hopefully he comes good in his second season after settling in a bit more.

To be fair he has moved to a new country at 18, got a bad injury in his first game and then comes into the team when it’s an absolute shit show. I’ve yet to be impressed but I’d give him a free pass on this season.

Jesus Christ some of the comments on here are really clueless. Thought he was excellent aside from losing the header for the first goal. Second goal is on Maguire for being so deep.

I agree people (including me) have been throwing a strop and unfairly blaming the young lad. But if you stop to think about it who else besides us would have spent 50m on a potential defensive star given the numerous issues we had in scoring goals and in fact all over the pitch. I'm sorry but the only way his fee is justified is if he was a CB version of Rooney, i.e. not a project but a ready made world class player. He's clearly not that nor will be any time soon. Thats the frustration at least for me

Not making a judgment on him till well into next season.

I think the if you assume a goal of competing around the top of the league this season and the next, it would make more sense to save the Højlund, Yoro, and even Zirkzee and Dorgu money and spend them on a 26 year old striker and either a midfielder or a CB ready to deliver now, in the vein of De Ligt and Onana.

If your ambition is to be able to compete at that level three years from now, I think it may be a better idea. It seems to me that is what the powers that be are aiming for now.

Maguire is the last man. Yoro shouldn't play offside trap if he was not sure of the line. Last man calls the shot on the pitch.
