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

[HalfaSeatOn]

Not sure, as he had a couple of good runs at Wembley, though a few have said that. Perhaps Solly and Mitoma will swap sides more than previously.

What a decision to have to make!

That would be interesting. Mitoma on the right. Solly deserves a rest until the Monday.

It's en-SEE-so. RDZ pronounces it in an Italian style.

That's what I thought. It's a bit like a Brit pronouncing Majorca as it's written. Hopefully RDZ just calls him Julio in training.

It was never filmed. Nelson has regrets about that in his autobiography. The man himself said it was the best goal he ever scored.

I was there, it was most definitely the best goal I’ve seen scored.

I was there… Great goal.

Hoolio or Dgooolio ??

Hang on, I heard our lack of squad depth was going to ruin our season.

To be fair I thought this, especially after coming home from Nottingham last Wednesday! Very exciting to see Gilmour step up, Buennotte looking like he can do a job and Enciso looking like a real prospect. I am very happy to be proven wrong and there is more depth than I realised....unless of course Wolves are really awful and made us look like world-beaters.

 

[Goldstone Guy]

If it's Chulio it might be better if he just sticks to "mate".

 

[raymondo]

It's jolly exciting isn't it?... we're debating many team setup's, each with their own merits...this team doesn't pick itself anymore. A headache for De Zerbi but a nice one

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

I love this kid, thought he was great again last night.

Unbelievable skill but also really brave in wanting to receive the ball in tight areas. Always looking to make something happen and definitely looks stronger and quicker than when he started with his, he's really quickly got to grips with the pace and physicality of the league.

I think we've got a really special player on our hands and he starts every game for me now.

 

[B-right-on]

Absolutely. Was immense, all over the place causing Man U no end of trouble. Looked almost in tears after the pen celebrating with Mac.

 

[Bodian]

Was that his first full game for us?

 

[Motogull]

I loved him doing keepy uppies as the players left the pitch. He's a happy fella and no mistake.

He’s a highly-skilled, rapid, bloody nuisance. De Gea kept having to abandon build from the back, instead punting it 60 yards to the welcome heads of Dunk and Webster. Because Enciso with help created chaos.

And the fact that he was still pressing De Gea on the 70th minute just as intensely as the first minute. He doesn't stop running.

We have lots of these athletes. Caicedo, Mac A, Estupinan and the evergreen Gross perform in the 95th minute as well as they 1st.

And I find it amazing that he looks (well IS) more rapid now than when he played in the younger groups or friendlies. I think it's down to confidence: "I'm good to beat these guys..." and he is

On the pitchside video Enciso looked pretty disgusted with Mitoma a couple of times for not passing to him when close to goal - and Enciso is soooo good at protecting the ball. Fantastic young player.

Yeah I noticed that. Mitoma was a bit greedy the other night, could have played in Enciso once or twice but went for the more difficult option

Being pretty self-critical I reckon Mitoma was determined to get the better of Wan Bissaka this game - and he did IMO, played him much better that in the semi. But I think this focus distracted him from getting his head up and finding his teammates in better positions. A bit harsh from me maybe as Mitoma terrorises defences, but he could be even more effective.

 

[Beach Hut]

Would be good if he cut out the Rolly-Polly I am horrendously injured crap then a minute later he is on his feet again

 

[Springal]

Must admit I did give him some stick, the rolling about was embarrassing.
