True but he really is big, his size is what stands out when you watch the youth teams
I’ve seen varying ages for him over the last few years, currently it’s 19 but he looks older.
He’ll get a goal today.
I think this season is a write-off so the more youth players get a chance to impress the better.
Gwan big willy!
Similar to Upamecano
Didn't see this debut coming 
Willy score with his head?
Good luck to him today.
Been a bit disappointed with him at youth level backing off and some lapses defensively. And on the ball he seems quite basic, I thought he would have built on that as his highlights video before he joined suggested he was good on the ball. Hes got a thick build so he should have the strength to compete in men's football. Not sure about his mobility which FM tends to rate well but I'm not yet convinced. Has looked sluggish at times to me.
I really hope he puts his best foot forward and performs to a level that he can be very proud of

He’s been saying it in the match day thread too. Very bizarre. Literally the OP which has a tweet from 2020 says he was born in 2004. Really weird posts from that guy
Haha, I knew someone would interpret it that way
He’s really being thrown into it today anyway, hopefully he can deal with it. As said above he has the physicality for the senior game but not much else has stood out mainly due the sheer amount of time out he’s had to take. I doubt he’s going to make it here but days like today are obviously a major chance to stake a claim. Best of luck Willy!
Really excited to see him.. physically good enough for first team football, fast and supposed to be good on the ball too. Should compliment Jonny fairly well.
Not really seen Willy play yet. A difficult debut is a definite potential. The number of defenders out injured or sick is scary!
Not to mention the term "beast", which is clearly more used for dark-skinned players. I've always found that very awkward.
Best of luck Willy. Putting yourself at the mercy of the notorious ‘player performance’ thread for the first time. He’ll either be Stam reborn or Titus Bramble by 3pm.
Cometh the man cometh the hour
Hope he does well, he’s had a lot of injury problems
Same thing, unavailable yet again.
Central defenders are generally not described as technical or creative. Strong is certainly a compliment that fits the position.
I love it when the manager puts faith in youth. Wenger did it. Areteta literally waves two fingers up at ours. The academy should shut down.
Love to see this instead of just moving McTominay or Shaw.
ETH has never played McTominay CB
Hence why I love it
Take your agenda elsewhere.
When did not being racist, conscious or otherwise, become an "agenda". Very questionable reply.
State of this post
Absolutely pathetic.
Agreed. Which is why it needs to be called out.
That is exactly what I've done. Pathetic post. Looking for issues where there aren't any.
Solid so far, do you all agree?
Oh really....
Be careful. This might be taken the wrong way.
Be careful, negative Andies don't like when people get excited by young players.
But yeah, he looks solid so far.
Didn’t expect him to start but his build is already capable to be survive in EPL. Lack of a quick first step and got beaten by opponents several times. Hopefully he is just not conditioned enough yet
The point of unconscious bias is you are not aware it exists, so not overly surprised at your denialism.
The player has been selected for more than strength. If that was the only determining factor then Eddie Hall would be a centre half. It's a legitimate comment and well documented.

Rock solid Willy!
