The Manchester paper liked his performance for the 23's yesterday.

Hey, Man U...............

 

[Hugo Rune]

I watched the last hour and there was a big improvement over his previous performance. Not everything is coming off for him, but he likes a tackle and moves the ball well. I didn't spot any of the clumsy slide tackles from his previous appearance, which suggests he could be a fast learner.

Young Ferguson should have scored late on with a header he put wide, but another real prospect given his age.

It’s interesting to speculate on how many U23 games this lad will need. I’d be shocked if a teenager from Ecuador could perform in the EPL straight out of the box but if Biss is off in the Summer and we’re more or less safe in May, we might see him if he continues this arc of progress.

Love this “more or less safe” vibe!

Or if we're already down!

Sounds a bit like Bissouma's stats.

 

[Hugo Rune]

He normally scores or assists for Ecuador as well as getting stunning DM stats. Hopefully he’ll have a better game in their next fixture in the Copa América next week.

 

[Rogero]

His next game is at 1.00 (morning ) on the 14th. Can one of our North American fans watch and report please?

Best player on the park tonight ..quality…

 

[Fran Sandaza 8 my hamster]

He's just shown a couple of moments of real class.
Hope Graham is watching

Seemed to have played quite cautiously early on but his turn and burst through a couple of the Venezuela players towards the end of the first half was very Biss like. Clearly a very exciting prospect.

An analysis of Moises Caicedo's qualities and what he's likely to bring to The Albion.
There are a couple of paragraphs that may explain why he hasn't been trusted yet to start last season when we were in a relegation battle for most of the time.
However there are clearly many top qualities mentioned that have made him so highly rated and in demand.
Hopefully his English learning is progressing along with ironing out the mentioned possible weaknesses.

"He is, however, sometimes too eager to press, and can therefore lose track of the player behind him. When he does so he risks undermining his team’s defensive organisation, and allowing the opposition to create a passing lane into midfield.
He also needs to improve the way he positions his body when attempting tackles, so that he gets closer to the ground, lowers his centre of gravity, and faces the direction he wants to draw his opponent towards when making a step or slide tackle. When engaging in aerial battles, he commonly attempts to anticipate his opponent’s next move and to use that to his advantage instead of directly competing for the ball in the air, where he is unconvincing."

One tackling technique, I have seen him use a couple of times in a block tackle, is really effective (it just isn't going to sound it from the description, I am about to give). For example if a player is trying to go past him front on, via Moises' right side, he will cross his left leg over and block the ball with the outside of his left foot. The tackle is angled, so if the ball goes up in the tackle it hits his leg, rather than going over the foot. Any contact with the player is chest on. The opponent just hits a solid wall and there is no trailing leg to dive over.

I guess you will probably have to see it to have an idea what I am going on about, so please keep an eye out for this one.

Get rid.

Looks like he had a great game vs Chile the other night. Very Bissoumaesque at times, but perhaps with a more accurate shot?

[Farehamseagull]

He does look so promising.

The prospect of adding him, Sima, Zeqiri, Khadra and Ostigaard to our first team squad next season after a year of first team football is really exciting.

Much though I love Bissouma, ‘shooting accuracy’ should be 1/99 on FIFA…
