[BatterSeagull]

That should have been Tau 8

 

[Pavilionaire]

Burn gets a 5 for giving them a goal on a plate.

Lallana, Biss, Mwepu get 8s - they all looked class.

The rest 6s and 7s.

 

[Eric the meek]

I broadly agree. I thought the highlights were Duffy, Ostigard, Mwepu and Tau. We had a Dan Burn moment, but the real lowlight was Andone. He was complaining throughout. That's really not good.

So he is the Murray replacement.

 

[GT49er]

Slightly below par/below exectations/slightly disappointing - Burn, Karbownik, Andone, Richards.
Top plusses - Biss, March, Mwepu, Alzate, Ostigard - and just about, because not on very long, Tsongui.

 

[Machiavelli]

I saw it from 15 minutes on (or after our first goal).
First half, best players were the three Ms: Mwepu, March and Maupay
Second half: Alzate was back to his pomp, he's just a delightful footballer. Best I've seen from Tau too.

People get hung up on this but does it matter that much ? the bigger problem with Andone is that he abandons his position up front by dropping too deep. He got in the way more than once.

I agree with all the players you highlighted btw. Mwepu looks quality. And I hope Duffy gets more chances.

Corrected for you.

This makes sense.

But mentions to Biss for being a bit rusty, Karbo for showing some promise and Lallana for showing a lot of class and control.

Yes, Biss is cranking up to where he needs to be, and Lallana oozes professionalism and vision. Karbo was a mixed bag for me, some great runs, but got caught out too many times -- perhaps they're working on his defensive play before blooding him into the first team squad

 

[B-right-on]

That should have been Tau 8

Maybe i'm the odd one out here but I think Tau is too lightweight to make it in the PL. Connolly, Andone and Maupay have some 'fight' in them, Tau looks too easily shoved off the ball imo.

The club have a good track record with resolving this sort of problem.
Most notably with March and Trossard.

They will be working with him on diet and gym work to address a very easy to fix weakness.
Far more important that the player has the skills to make it at this level.

Karbownik has massive potential. Just need to iron out the mistakes.

Zeqiri has been given a lot of chances and has been consistently rubbish. Must be good in training.

I've always liked the look of Zeqiri when I've seen him play, if anything he hasn't been given enough chances. I genuinely believe there is a good player in there.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I really think it's pointless trying to read too much into individual performances at the moment, this is till pre season, some players will be rustier than others, and still a full fortnight on the training pitch, plus another friendly to go, before the big kick off.

Fast forward to Burnley, and you will be seeing far fitter players, and one hopes, enhanced performances.

No one can tell yet what Andy Zequiri is capable of, if anything. One thing thats for sure though, is that he needs some sort of run of games, so that people can see what's in there, and l seriously wonder if he is ever going to be given that.

I feel a little sorry for him in a way. This will be a make or break season for him, that's for sure.

Is Zeqiri a great Premier League footballer?

Nope - but going straight from the Swiss second division to not looking completely lost in the PL indicates he is a quick learner and unpolished talent. I think it will take some time before he turns into someone who will play regularly in the PL, but I definitely think the potential is there.

No.
