I'm gonna be patient with Nelson, but it's a little annoying to see that his development has stalled a bit. I remember the first time I watched him when he was like 14.
He was just next level. More talented at that age than Odoi and Sancho. Two players people are now saying are way above his level smh.
His explosiveness and quick feet were attributes that really impressed me, but they have not translated to first team football.
He also played with a lot of swagger, so it's sad that his confidence is that low now.
Even though it took him time to adjust to U18 and U23 football too, but when he did, it was complete domination.
Really hope it comes together for him. He needs to get much stronger, I don't think it's his balance that's the issue as he showed excellent body control and agility as a youngster.
