When did we see excellent hold up play and hell of shit based on this goal his first with his feet for us I think
The excellent hold up play, as I said in my previous message,
was in very brief moments.
Specifically, I recall a few times that he held off his defender and brought the ball down superbly before laying it off to a team mate. It didn't happen often enough, but it was clear and notable at the time.
The "hell of a shot", again as stated in previous message was based on his YouTube clips before he signed. We certainly didn't see much of it at all last season, but he's a bairn and he certainly showed it on Sunday.
Specifically:

That left foot curler in there is an excellent finish too. If you watch the full video, you might even spot some examples of good hold up play.
Nobody has said that he was good last season, I don't think anybody is even saying that he is going to make it here, but for a young lad in a foreign country in his first season of adult football, he has shown enough
glimpses to warrant a bit more patience. Those saying we should be loaning him out to a Sunday league team etc are pathetic.
