Looks like another berahino. Massive chip on his shoulder. I saw him having a go at somebody(can't remember who) for a pass that went in a different direction to his run, seemed a bit uncalled for. That doesn’t mean that he has a chip on his shoulder though. |

My goodness me there’s some shameful stuff on here tonight. Are we really writing this kid off already? What were people actually expecting? II thinks it's called grasping at straws  |

Brown part 2, just runs into trouble.

Watching his first half performance I I thought we were watching another cousin of George Weah.

Two games, yeah two fucking games and 7 days after signing the oatcake kangaroo court has passed judgment
Take him down, sentence is passed and there’ll be no appeal

Early days but I don’t think Man City will be gazumping us if we we want to take up the six million? pounds buy option. Clarke has so far made a much better first impression.

Not started well but imagine he is low on confidence, doesn’t have a proper right back to support going forward and our shape was so lopsided there was little space on his side. Needs to be given time with cameos from the bench. McClean, Brown and based on his 20
Minutes, Clarke, ahead of him to start

Too soon for him to be starting games, especially 2 in 4 days, hes has got the ability just needs time. I would start with Clarke against Watford, hes got the experience at this level, Matondo hasn't.

I think you're allowed to say he's been a bit disappointing aren't you? Clarke has shown far more with less than half the time pitch and they've both suffered from a lack of first team football. You don't demand players immediately tear it up but you expect to see something to warm the cockles for the future surely?

We were forced to take a punt given our FFP issue, it may come off, it may not. We couldn't go out and get assured success. Let's see where we stand come May.

Looked like a carbon copy of Ince so far, reluctant to get involved and completely inneffectual when he does...

Looks awful already. Brown part 2, just runs into trouble. Or even the second coming of Diouf - lots of running with no end product. |

He looks like he's a project type signing. Obvious ability there to see, with lots to improve on.
I don't understand where it fits into our profile at the moment, with him being on loan, us needing an instant impact type signing and the large FFP busting option at the end.
Think it will be another month at least before we see some improvement in him.
One thing we need to remember is that this is his first real taste of proper mens football over here, having only played mens football in Germany which is loads different, as Timo Werner and Kai Havertz are finding out at Chelsea.

He's just too isolated.

He doesn't look the best on the ball for sure but having no one near him won't help that at all. I honestly think Verlinden is better than both of these we've signed based on the evidence so far. But I think we need 3 wingers. Matondo just needs players around him, Powell at 10 helping him, a proper right back helping him and he'll be sound. |

He should play on the left, his favoured position, like 99% of right-footed wide forwards today. He'll then be able to cut inside and the pitch will open up. He'll also have a natural full-back to support him. Then play Clarke on the right.

I thought he was Schalke 04's player, they bought him from Man City for an eye watering 11 million pounds if wiki is to be believed? |

Didn't Campbell have some similar reviews in his debut days?
Give MON time to polish him up.

So we've already come to the conclusion that he has a massive chip and his shoulder and that we don't like his body language.
You have to laugh......
