He should be good enough for us at the moment though , so give him a try. He played for a struggling team last season and was possibly dragged down by that. However if we make a decent start it may encourage him to achieve his best form. Don't expect Maddison mk2 though, he is nowhere near that class. Plays for Palace......

Tielemans63 Posted 6 August 2023 Share Posted 6 August 2023 Palace completed the signing of Franca in the last 24 hours, hopefully that frees up Rak-Sakyi to come here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frany104 Posted 6 August 2023 Share Posted 6 August 2023 If we can get him in we have a good front 3. Mavididi was getting doubled up on because mcateer offered no threat. be nice to have threats down both wings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did look isolated at times, but that was at least in part because Ricardo wasn't playing behind him, but moving to midfield in possession. The inverted fullback scheme does make a rather one sided attack. He didn't look great with his left foot either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matividi offered very little until around the time of our first goal and then he came alive. Seemed to suddenly remember he had a bag of tricks and could take the man on. McAteer did a solid job, looked pacey and kept his width. Couple of rookie errors which you'd expect. Generally pretty good and once Praet came on they combined well. I'd agree with no right sided player pushing on behind him and Ndidi struggling to play further forward he did look a bit isolated at times.

Haywood_6 Posted 6 August 2023 Share Posted 6 August 2023 McAteer is decent but he isn't going to get the goal involvements we need from that side. I was watching the Southampton game the other night and Tella and Edozie had the Sheff Wednesday fullbacks on toast. Rak Sakyi and Mavididi could be almost as good as them, if not better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 6 August 2023 Share Posted 6 August 2023 McAteer is a player that should make the bench once we have the winger plays basically all across the 4 behind the striker, works hard and a bundle of energy, I think he'll chip in with goals and assists too if he plays like he did today 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should’ve gone across the keeper. there’s now way we get promoted of mcateer starts as our winger this year. He’s nowhere near the level required. I’d have him in the squad but not starting. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lesta Legend Posted 6 August 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 6 August 2023 McAteer did fine for his full league debut, we're clearly going to invest in a RW but he'll play his part in what will be a long season. Be interesting to see how he progresses. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DezFox Posted 6 August 2023 Share Posted 6 August 2023 Not a bad full debut. Fair play to him. Hope he continues to improve. He will play a part this year even if he is not a starter. seems level headed with a good attitude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids just made his full debut for his boyhood club and gave, in my opinion, a pretty decent account of himself. To say he’s “nowhere near the level” is typical of Foxes Talk. Did his job well, grafted his b******s off, arguably out of position also, not sure we can ask much more..? I don’t know what we’re expecting of our youngsters but we might be best tempering expectations. Hope he builds on today and plays a big part this season. Looks a solid player and by no means out of his depth. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I think the difference between the two sides was that mavididi had KDH whilst McAteer had Ndidi, and when doyle pushed forward he stayed wide, whereas Faes went up the middle.

Pliskin Posted 6 August 2023 Share Posted 6 August 2023 Sorry but I disagree with McAteer. He should have come off at HT. other than a bit of pace I can’t see what he offers. His game didn’t pick up until Praet came on and told him what to do. Not a fan I’m afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do think we need a starting winger but I think Casey will play a good part from the bench this season. Love how direct he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonb Posted 6 August 2023 Share Posted 6 August 2023 McAteer did OK. Full debut, in an unsettled team. Like someone said above, Mavididi did nothing until the final 20 mins. Ideally McAteer gets benched when a RW comes in, but gets bought on regularly enough to be kept sharp for when we inevitably get injuries. Seemed composed on the ball and generally made the right decisions, barring the shot he had. Needs time to develop and that'll only happen if he gets enough game time. Very good squad option to have, but this palace lad will be a good starter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on your expectations and what you're comparing him to. For a kid having to step up and be thrown in on the deep end he did really really well. But yeah obviously we need a first choice and I don't think he looks ready to be that. Hopefully you're right that he gets to play a decent size role off the bench. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has pace, but he didn’t beat his man once, when he came inside he couldn’t make a decision and he kept giving the ball away. Once Praet came on he improved because Praet was getting into him. For me, if we can keep Praet we have to, best player on the pitch by a country mile today for me. Just made it look easy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thought he had a good game , think he could be utilised as number 8 , adds versatility to the squad which we've lacked massively recently 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankieADZ Posted 6 August 2023 Share Posted 6 August 2023 thought McAteer did well for his debut, as said in the thread its going to be a long season and he'll have a part to play. I do think if we get Rak-Sakyi, he'll be the starter and KM will come on from the bench 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangs onto the ball far too long. Slowed down too many of our counter attacks and not playing the ball in quick enough when we had players arriving in the box. Squad player at the most, not a starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
