He also out-jumped three of their guys in midfield and won a header he had no right to win.

Can stick his foot in as well.
He was great today. So much potential. The injuries have come as a bit of a blessing in disguise as its allowed Facu the chance to flourish.

Agree. And it's also notable, that when Adingra went off, it was Pedro that went on the right and Facu retained his place in the middle until he made way for Lallana

What a night - still travelling home but still in a state of disbelief - top of our group and straight into the round of 16! 
I thought Facu had a good first half and even better second half, attacking the space and looking very much at home with some neat link up play - really beginning to get more aggressive and winning 1:1s - he won a particularly good duel in the air ( not sure I’ve ever seen him jump like that before !) - still looking tired after 60 minutes but I think RDZ. will be pleased with that performance.

He played well, with more energy and aggression than previously. Probably his best game to date. He’s taken time to settle in - as did McCallister.
Good game tonight. The physical battle of Europa League is different to EPL though.
If he can keep all his skills while bulking up like Enciso he’ll be very good indeed.

That performance last night was a rival for the City game as his best for us. He was so much more aggressive, was instrumental in pressing and winning the ball back on several occasions, and was brilliant at finding space.
Playing in a more natural position IMO.
He shouldn’t play wide.

The kid is potentially SO good, I was erect at the prospect of his brilliance last night. He's so raw, he's very young but his talent is clear and shines bright like a diamond. He's potentially incredible.

He's clearly much better there, but needs must, and we don't have too many wide attacking options at present. When/if Enciso, Welbeck and Fati are back up and running, there's going to be a lot of competition for just two attacking central positions. Note also that Mitoma and Adingra are off for a while in Jan.
All I'm saying is that, rather than just focusing on where he plays best, we also need to factor in where there are gaps for him to play as many minutes as possible (which is what he'll ultimately want I suspect).
