I'd say great goal but a bit of an underwhelming performance overall. Wanted to see more from a creative point of view.
Agree with this, but I think it's mostly because of him having missed all of pre-season and not being in sync with the first team just yet. Felt like he struggled to position himself off the ball to be effective and played it a bit safe with the ball, but I think both those things will improve a lot when he gets settled in more. He obviously has loads of individual ability, which is encouraging.I'd say great goal but a bit of an underwhelming performance overall. Wanted to see more from a creative point of view.
If you expect players to bang at the cam role on their first ever start in the PL then you need to recalibrate your expectations. Main thing I’m looking for in a start are ability to think/act quickly and no silly mistakes.I'd say great goal but a bit of an underwhelming performance overall.

Think you are underselling him based on what I saw from the stands (I was lurking in amazing seats in enemy territory!). He has the preternatural ability to find space but stay within the structure. Technically confident so always shows for the ball. Radar slightly off with a couple of attempted wonder balls, but his little continuity play was top and Brentford couldn't lay a glove on him. Then an absolute beauty goal.I'd say great goal but a bit of an underwhelming performance overall. Wanted to see more from a creative point of view.
Has a chance to displace Ødegaard very soon.
I have to say you saw that injury to Ødegaard coming from far away!
It was a good performance considering how little he has played recently, or overall. EPL is not easy and it was an away game.I thought he played well today. His best outing so far. The goal seems to be a demonstration of his capabilities. I like what I saw.
Actually is first start for us in the PL. Don't think we can expect more. A couple and a very solid performance. If he was English imagine Match of the Day! It would be a MA to X-rated rating on the show!I thought he played well today. His best outing so far. The goal seems to be a demonstration of his capabilities. I like what I saw.

I know what you mean, though his forward passing options were oft limited due to Brentford so often having 8 players between him and the goal, so I was happy with him keeping things ticking over. I agree that I'd want to see more of what you mention against teams that allow more passing lanes, but I thought despite being a little conservative, he did a lot of things very very well.I understand what you are saying. I thought he worked hard, won the ball back well, scored a great goal, but just wanted to see more in terms of tempo, dictating play and passing more vertically, too often, i thought he went for the safe Elneny sideways or backwards pass.
