Agreed - was my thoughts exactly when I saw he was starting. To prove a point to him and the Argentina FAMy worry is that this thing with the Argentina U21s (or whatever it was) is going to hamper us a bit. We really should play him to justify being stubborn and not letting him go, but he isn’t really ready and we really ought to have just let him go.
It is a strange one. Clearly a very talented young player, and he is very young, and will hopefully be another star for us. But he’s shown nothing in his performances for us so far that he’s ready to start or even play a big part from the bench.My worry is that this thing with the Argentina U21s (or whatever it was) is going to hamper us a bit.

I’ve said repeatedly he is a CAM - he has the similar sort of raw talent Trossard had to get into and manoeuvre in tight central spaces (although not as good yet) and has fantastic acceleration ( great for transitional play from CMF to CAM ) - that is where he will be most useful to us IMO. If we loose Mac Allister in the summer, we will be pleased Facundo has getting match time at least as I believe it was Mac Allister’s position that he was originally signed to eventually grow into.Just don’t see him as a wide player at all. Going to make a great central playmaker when he builds strength but I never want to see him out there again.
He was poor but Enciso v Villa looked much much worse and did you never turn up when Jahanbaksh or Locadia played?Hopefully he will come good but it is a very long time since I saw a player so out of his depth as he was today
I agree. he'll be a similar player to macallister and will play ina similar position.Just don’t see him as a wide player at all. Going to make a great central playmaker when he builds strength but I never want to see him out there again.
Groß did exactly the same. What gives?to be fair to him Webster seemed to refuse to pass to him, if you don't get the ball you can't do much...
It looks to me that the other players don't trust him (yet) as there was plenty of times he was free and the others passed across the back or middle towards the left. Was the same on Thursday when nearly every attack went down the left side.Groß did exactly the same. What gives?
No comparison with those. If my memory serves me last player I saw so lost in a game was i think his name was Fenlon Taken of at half time and not seen againHe was poor but Enciso v Villa looked much much worse and did you never turn up when Jahanbaksh or Locadia played?
