WHAT DOES HE NEED?

MAYBE he could have attacked the outside of the full back more in the first period and he could have also been more goal conscious rather than always looking to set teammates up. But that’s a tiny down side on an afternoon when he sparkled. He worked hard enough and retreated into good positions to receive the ball. A nice size and an easy mover, I did wonder about how consistent he is as this is always important. I will need to look at him again. He showed enough in the friendly to suggest that, for all their foreign talent, West Ham would be unwise to neglect him.
