[Albion] Carlos Baleba

[BrickTamland]

Looks like he want off with a head injury whilst playing for Cameroon.

Hopefully nothing serious but wonder if the concussion protocol will see him miss the weekend?

Rumour has it he is totally fine.

Good news! Would be looking very light in central midfield otherwise

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

On a brighter note.....this bloke is awesome

 

[Weezle]

He's absolutely outstanding isn't he? Strong, fast, skillful, great tackler and he's only 20. The sky is the limit for this lad.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Best player on the pitch by a mile today.

 

[The Fits]

What an immense talent. Continue like this and he's off within the year.

 

[Weststander]

MOTM. The boss.

If only others rose to that level today.

Absolute quality.

Also serves as a reminder how we all need to be patient with these raw teenage talents we sign. I remember him receiving criticism at times... but he's quickly developing into our next £100m+ player.

Looked world class today, without exaggeration.

Looked world class today, without exaggeration.

From the time we signed him I thought he'd be at least a great midfielder off raw talent.

The past few games have shown he can be world class.

 

[The Fits]

Literally 100x more dynamic than Caicedo. If he starts scoring goals (he will) there's going to be very few who can touch him.

Considering the unbelievable pressure our new system puts on the number 6, he was excellent today. I still think I’d have kept Gilmour for that position and played Baleba further forward, but it is what it is.

 

[Wozza]

We’ve got Carlos Beleba….
We’ve got Carlos Beleba….
Yeah, we’ve Carlos Belebaaaaaah
And we’re going to win the league!

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Our best player by an absolute mile! The easiest MOTM decision ever. On a completely different level to everyone else.

Was on a corporate freebie today next to a Gooner. Told him at the start this lad will be better than Caicedo and he scoffed. By the end he was desperately trying to get hold of Arteta and Edu!

 

[Littlemo]

He’s frustrating. He did a lot of good stuff but then would give the ball away the next moment and kind of ruin it.

I genuinely don’t know how anyone could criticise any aspect of his performance?!

Was on a completely different level to every other player on the pitch!

Ooff.
He was levels above EVERY player on the pitch.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Complete performance today

He’s a starter now and will be the next one to go for big money, Ipswich couldn’t land anything on him

I’m not saying he was bad. But I wasn’t the only one groaning about some of his play, so were some of the folk about me. It’s ok to think he was both great and frustrating in parts, there were more than a few of his passes went straight to Ipswich players.

I'm inclined to agree. He looked a bit at a loss as to how to distribute the ball once his physicality had earnt him tons of space. Once he improves this (this is a very coachable asset), he will be amazing.
