[Albion] Julio Enciso - Paraguay’s new wonder kid (Signed 17/06/2022)

[dazzer6666]

Agree with those above saying he looked like he could definitely hold his own (physically) out there.

Also for someone who is apparently 5ft 6 he certainly does a good impression of someone a fair bit taller?! Not sure that’s accurate. Would make him just 1 inch taller than Lamptey.

He absolutely eats the ground up when he runs as well……..seems to move effortlessly at real pace

 

[lawros left foot]

The 2 shots that led to Pascals goal, one left foot, one right foot, both on target, both hit with rel pace.

I think we may have found another one.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Thought it was pretty bold of RdZ to bring him on at the moment he did. What is he: 18, 19? Never played a PL game before, is a creative attacking player, and he's thrown into things when we were trying to see the game out. Got to admire the head coach's cojones for that move. It worked out well, as it meant we started to stretch them again after sitting back for a while.

Precisely. It turned the match, when Chelsea had been getting more of the ball. Back in their faces, and the game rhythm reset.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Impressive first PL appearance for him. He played with confidence, has two feet like traction engines and got involved well. Couple of times he could have made better decisions but i'll forgive him that as he was probably keen to impress on his PL debut and with time he'll learn from those mistakes.

 

[B-right-on]

Agreed with all. Cracking debut.

Love his confidence to have a couple of pops from long range. We were saying that we can't remember anyone recently who's first thought outside of the box, was to have a go. Definitely something different than what we have. Together with his tenacity, ability to mix it up and not get shoved off the ball, plus his electric pace, he's another star in the making.

All a great advert for other youngsters who are looking to make it in the PL, to come to Brighton and progress.

 

[Bodian]

I like his selfishness and getting shots off. We've complained for ages that we fanny around too much and try and pass the ball in - well, now no defence will know quite what to expect in any one match - silky passing with time to regroup, or direct running and bullet shots.

 

[LamieRobertson]

100% - he’s much stockier than when he first arrived, and even since playing at FGR in the cup.

Tim Vickery might like to review his thoughts that he would struggle to cope with the physicality of the PL

 

[Justice]

Good debut seemed popular with the rest of the lads all hugging him after the game.

 

[Eric the meek]

Much like Trossard now compared with when he joined us. He doesn't get knocked off the ball so easily these days.

I'm not sure we should do the same with Mitoma though. I do wonder if building up his muscle would make him any faster, or would it slow him down?

 

[Sheebo]

This lad is special. Confident. Direct. Raw. The potential for improvement is absolutely huge with the right he coaching and experience. Delighted to see him get his chance and get an assist. Did feel for him with the one he ran through on as he wanted to pass but the experience of Silva and his CB position made it incredibly hard. Maybe a first time ball was the one but wasn’t as simple as it maybe looked from the stands.

 

[Blatter]

The other really good aspect of Encisco's performance was that the backs/midfield were prepared to play through balls for him to chase on to, instead of the tippy-tippy progress up the field.

From the tv view it looked like Silva got his angles spot on (superb defending) and JE didn’t have much choice but to shoot.

I thought he showed real character yesterday. Look forward to seeing him play more.

 

[albionfan37]

Now he’s made his prem debut folk should be getting his name right enciso enciso enciso

Say it three times folks and you’ll believe it

 

[WATFORD zero]

And only 18 years old

 

[Triggaaar]

My point was that had he passed to Gross rather than having that 2nd shot Mendy would have been better positioned and may have made the save.

I knew what you meant, and yes, as it turned out we scored. But passing was probably the best choice at the time.

 

[METALMICKY]

We may just have found ourselves another one. Aside from the over exuberance when he should have passed to Trossard it was a lovely little cameo debut.

 

[Machiavelli]

I imagine the response nationally would be “bloody hell, they’ve found another one!” Fantastic impact & a great shot on him.

Not so sure our signings generate a response nationally

 

[Swansman]

I can't say I felt "wow, this is the new Lionel Messi" exactly. Most of his finishes were so-so, he controlled the ball more with willpower than with skill and generally his best contribution was to annoy the shit out of the Chelsea players. Very, very Neal Maupay... which is very impressive - he could have easily just played for himself trying to find spaces and do some dribbling or something, but no, he got straight into it and showed a lot of determination and desire. Wasn't just happy to be there, but actually wanted to make an impact.

Think he has a long way to go before he's challenging for a place in the starting eleven but guessing we'll see more of him now. Could be a raw diamond this one.
Maybe - surprise surprise - the club knew what it was doing when it didn't bring in yet another striker.

Do you think I owe Paul Barber an apology ? Particularly after my reaction to seeing no Danny Welbeck in the squad

And they've had the highlights on in the North ever since

He’s been working with a PT outside of the club for a while now on top of training. Biss and Cucurella used to use the same guy
