Leeroy Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Think he's ahead of Archer to be honest, took his goal really well and always puts himself about. Hopefully that's the first of many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DCJonah Posted August 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2023 Looked more composed than I've seen him before. Some nice touches. Not everything at 100mph. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Almost made a complete mess of that Great moment for him though. He made a couple of nice litte flicks and he's got a good burst of speed in him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touch still looks a bit heavy, His first touch was worse than Jimmy Savile, but he will improve with game time. Seems a good kid as well. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First touch was great. It was the 2nd touch that was bad because he didn't mean to touch it and just ran into the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 It was a heavy touch, but his finish was great. Worked hard for the team afterwards. Could score a few in the conference. Be interesting to watch him develop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 His bad 2nd touch actually made it an easier finish due to Pickford half thinking he could get to the ball. I like this kid though, delighted for him! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I love everything about this kid. He’s some player. He’s got everything you need to be a top centre forward and he’s also a bit of a character. He could be very special in a couple of years. I think he is going all the way to the very top. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Great to see him score his first goal, all the players looked really happy for him too, seems like a popular character. Also easy to forget how young he is, he's younger than Chukwuemeka, and younger than the more highly rated players that have come through our academy in last few years, but already has performed well at highest level in US, got his first international cap and scored, and now already has first Premier League goal after barely a few games worth of football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Wpuld love to see him getting on the end of some of those Digne crosses....on Wednesday perhaps ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted August 20, 2023 Moderator Share Posted August 20, 2023 Great first touch, overhit second touch, lovely finish. Let's not forget, he's been injured all summer. That goal was 50 seconds into his preseason. I'd love for Archer to be our next hero, but there's a reason Duran is already a full international. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) Just saw the replay of his goal. He reacted and celebrated like he was our 29 goal a season star striker and this was business as usual Edited August 21, 2023 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troon_villan Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Looks a bit of a character. Could end up a real fan favourite here if he earns a consistent place in the team. That finish was great, easy to mess them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he’s a kid in a foreign country learning his trade, sometimes fans forget this. He needs time to develop but if we are patient as a fan base we could have a top player on our hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Great to see him get a goal today. I would like to see more of him. Hopefully he has a good season this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Happy for him today. Lovely touch at the end too when a kid with a Duran sign ran on the pitch to greet him and he gave him his shirt. Nice of steward to let the kid run on the pitch too. The game gets a lot of criticism these days but you have to love moments like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
