He looked nervous. Big occasion, big atmosphere, a lot at stake.

He looked poor, but he hasn't looked poor previously.

He did have one very good moment today though, when he nicked it on the wing and nearly knocked in a quality ball that could have been a goal.

Need to be patient with him.

Sublime pass that quite easily could have lead to a goal
But looked very rusty and far from match sharp
Was surprised Jakub was not Sollys replacement
As stated by others not always easy to come on as a sub and get up to speed straight away
The recruitment team can spot the talent Just need Harry to weave his magic
And polish these diamonds in the rough

 

[Stato]

Give him time. He's not the first player to look like he needs the time to get up to speed with the EPL. He was also up against some seriously good players who were bossing the game at the point he came on.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Feel like he might be a creative midfielder rather than a defensive midfielder like Bissouma.

But who would have called Bissouma a defensive midfielder 3 years ago!?

Give him time. Poor today, admittedly.

I wouldn't.

Lad has potential. As seen in pre-season.

Pisses me off a bit that some fans are writing a young player off after just a few minutes.

Not writing him off, just think we have enough ammo in the locker these days in midfield to let him get up to speed.

Everyone around me said he had a shocker, it really wasn't just a few minutes.

 

[Quinney]

Thought Moder would come on before him. Mwepu looked little off the pace when he came on.

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

He set up a stunning opportunity by himself and slid a super ball into the box. Another day and that was a goal. Yes he looked nervous, and he seemed lost at times, but Leicester are the masters at moving you out of position and exploiting the gap. He's had half a game in the Prem before he come on today. I see a lot to like and have high hopes.

Quite.

There were two spotty 15 year olds seated behind me, experimenting with the volume of their half-broken voices and the in parento-absentio effing and jeffing opportunity. "Touch-tight FFS" was one hilarious bit of Playstation gobbledygook one of them vented (tag Leicester tight and they will turn you, and flip you - for real).

They didn't rate Nocker Mwepu.

In which case, I'm IN. I thought Nocker showed extraordinary potential, and that chance he created was, indeed, delicious.

 

[Doc Lynam]

Needs time to let it click, there's a real player in there.

How many more chances do you want to give Mwepu FFS?

No wonder we’re a soft touch as a football club.

Apologies.

Nocker Mwepu.

Get RID!

He was also very poor at Burnley and subbed at half time. Today was the wrong sub at the wrong time. Like you say though need to be patient and hope he comes good and can adapt fast .

 

[Farehamseagull]

Not a great day, he’s raw but there’s defnitely a player in there.

Clearly an athlete and he was getting in the right positions, just seemed to lose control of his legs once he got in those positions to tackle or control the ball!

He’ll improve, looking forward to watching more of him can’t wait to see that big smile again when he scores.

This. The slating he’s getting on various threads is embarrassing. Give him a chance FFS.

Touch tight is pretty standard football parlance to be fair.

Shades of Djimi Traore…

Remember H is the grandad of the board and isn’t N’SYNC with a lot of the LINGO innit.

 

[Weststander]

With Solly, Trossard, Maupay, Duffy, Lallana all playing well, there has to be another dartboard.

 

[studio150]

Still adapting to the pace and intensity of the PL.
As seen when he played in Moder against Cardiff in the League Cup he can pass and has vision.
Harsh to jump on his performance today, as many players have struggled to get into the pace of the game when coming off the bench, particularly where your team is being pushed onto the back foot.

Let him have time to adapt to the PL and reserve judgement until then.

True, but I’m approaching 40 and have used it for decades, it’s certainly not a PlayStation generation thing.

 

[Lindfield by the Pond]

Came on at a difficult stage of the match. Work in progress. Not a blinder, but consider new team, new surroundings, new to Premier League footy.....did ok. Can see the potential. I'm sure he will improve. UTA

 

[Sheebo]

In all seriousness, having been around football all my life I never have heard it - possibly minimally as it rang a bell. Coaches and sayings I guess. Just ‘get tight’ is the usual expression for me (assuming that’s what it means) but horses for courses.
