This guy is too slow releasing the ball, he makes fewer forwards passes.

 

Which Maddison does better

 

He's currently too slow for the premier league pace

This has to be a wind up surely?

Possibly because he has very little options around him. Particularly in forward positions. 

 

He's certainly not too slow either. Certainly not off the ball, which is usually a criticism of new players in the Premier League. His pressing and overall strength is great. He's also no donkey with the ball. 

 

So yeah, a bit harsh. 

[Mickyblueeyes]

If IF we stay up, he’s the player you build the team around. Unfortunately, with that looking unlikely, he will get a very decent move in the summer, 

 

Be interesting to know if he was a Glover pick - another positive to add to the list. 

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Did well for the most part last night. 

[Long Eaton Fox]

Would just like to see BEK and Facundo start together

[The Doctor]

Good work rate and a bit of creativity. Would be nice to see him and Facundo start but if not (if he's being recalled for Brighton to sell as rumoured), please get Mavididi back in a proper frame of mind and get another right winger to play alongside them, with how flimsy our defence is, outscoring everyone is our best route to survival.

[ronnup]

Ironically we would really excel under Enzo with him and Bounanotte as the two 8s I think, both classy but work too. 

 

I do think given the mess we are it has to be him or Facundo as teams are walking through us

[Unabomber]

Class today, looks a right player and needs to start every game 

[Will1981]

Best player on the pitch by a mile.

[KFS]

Signs of life with this guy

He's superb along with Facundo. 

[coolhandfox]

He will be playing PL next season no matter what happens 

[DennisNedry]

Played like prime Mahrez today.

[SecretPro]

A shining light in a season of shite.

[adejo92]

Could be our next gem if he makes these performances consistent. 

[fox_favourite]

He's the player we've needed for a few years.

[foxfanazer]

Too good for us 

[HybridFox]

He has arrived in the PL

[Cropwellfox]

Won’t be here next season. Far too good for us.

There's a reason Maddison never played for one of the big Clubs.

It's because he doesn't work hard enough, Or want the Ball enough.

 

Bilal covered every blade of Grass today.

Won the Ball back many times and showed for the Ball all game.

He also played some unbelievable passes today to open Man City up.

Giving his age, If he keeps improving at this rate he'll be an 80 million pd player soon.

 

I'm just glad we have him on a long Contract.

Not sure I'd ever tar Madison with not working hard enough. It's his lack of pace if anything but I remember a stat where he had more tackles than a prime Jordan Henderson.

 

As for Bilal, he just oozes class and his work ethic is phenomenal. Anyone who's saying he's too slow for this league or holds onto the ball for too long, needs to give up watching football immediately.

[LcFc_Smiv]

Of all the names on the pitch today this lad was a class above anyone else, he's going to go far.

[WestLothianFox]

His close ball control was a delight to watch, as well as his tackling and passing range, this kid has it all, and to top it all, he looks so composed. If Brighton think Goodnight is worth 50 million, then BEK is worth a lot more

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

He's a quality player. And will only get better. He's also proof our recruitment system isn't entirely broken.
