washsaint Posted 25 October, 2020 Share Posted 25 October, 2020 Loved what we saw from him today when he came on (yes Everton were down to 10 men) - looked to have a good pass and vision and could be quite a player. Obviously very early days but really encouraging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat Posted 25 October, 2020 Share Posted 25 October, 2020 Was surprised he went in as a straight swap for Armstrong rather than pushing Ward Prowse forward and playing Diallo next to Romeu. Looking forward to seeing him play a bit more in the coming games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooney Posted 25 October, 2020 Share Posted 25 October, 2020 He looks as though he has a bit of class about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_SFC Posted 25 October, 2020 Share Posted 25 October, 2020 Looked pretty good on the ball to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verlaine1979 Posted 25 October, 2020 Share Posted 25 October, 2020 Only a few glimpses, but seems like he plays on the half turn and looks to move the ball forward quickly, which our midfield hasn't always done the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igsey Posted 25 October, 2020 Share Posted 25 October, 2020 Looked brilliant out on the right, I wonder if we'll see him there again? We were all expecting him to play alongside JWP but Romeu has arguably been our best player this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even though Armstrong was good yesterday, I'm glad Ralph let Romeu complete the game, and tweak the formation slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 26 October, 2020 Share Posted 26 October, 2020 Promising start, tougher tests to come which will give us more of an idea about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawillwill Posted 26 October, 2020 Share Posted 26 October, 2020 Agreed, have a feeling this guy is going to be the bees knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 26 October, 2020 Share Posted 26 October, 2020 I feel exactly the same, he was good on the ball and energetic. Making probing forward passes. Early days but Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 26 October, 2020 Share Posted 26 October, 2020 Looked really good on the ball. That turning when receiving the ball is an often underestimated quality, but it can put a team onto the front foot almost immediately. Doesn't look like your typical powerhouse midfielder, but with that he looks to have good balance and agility with the ball. Be interesting to see how he grows into the side. He offered so much more than Smallbone ever did in that 'Stuart Armstrong' role in those 5 mins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is especially impressive on your first match for a club with new teammates. It suggests someone who not only has confidence but also wants to be a starting player not just a squad player. High hopes for him and wish him the best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Billy Posted 27 October, 2020 Share Posted 27 October, 2020 He just has that look about him of quality and confidence, mind you, so did Lemina. With that in mind I will suppress my excitement for a while yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did look good but will want to see what hes like when the game is tight and theres more pressure being put on him in possession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure you can really judge somebody on 3 and 4 minute appearances respectively. Lets get 45 minutes out of him and hopefully he shows the same promise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Smallbone is a CM, not a 'Armstrong' type attacking player. Neither is Diallo to be fair, but he looked better on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
