jacketspuds Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 His physicality is perfect for how we play, and he’s only going to get better. Special mention to Pau Torres for that assist. If that was John Stones it would be on repeat all day tomorrow on SSN, either side of the 2 transfer spunk trumpets repeating the same shit every 15 minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tomaszk Posted August 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2023 So raw. And exciting. At the same age... Christian Benteke had fewer than 20 professional appearances Juan Pablo Angel had played 25 games in the Columbian league Ollie Watkins was playing non-league football Harry Kane was on loan at Millwall Sadio Mane had 0 top-flight games under his belt Does that mean he'll be as good as any of them? No. Does it mean he's very very good for his age. Yes. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the difference between January and now in his play. Far quicker without the ball than with it still but that will be worked on . Serious potential . Reminds me of Gabby in that he has natural gifts that need adding to with coaching, but the basis of a frightening player is already there. I mentioned earlier, it's because he takes massive strides like a sprinter which makes his touches heavy when dribbling fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love this guy and he’s only 19, imagine what he’ll be at 22 with a couple seasons of Prem experience under his belt. When he hit the cross bar with that shot against City last year I knew he was special. As a Colombian so happy to see him doing well I still can't even comprehend that shot the power he put on it whilst facing away is like nothing I've ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I’ve got a soft spot for players that play with a smile on their face (not many these days)… Jhon is that kind of guy… Really hope he goes from strength to strength here… he’s already a bit of a fan favourite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 selling Archer and keeping Jhon around was the right decision imo and I think the last couple performances have shown that he has a bigger role to play then he did last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Yet again, I believe Unai is about to be fully vindicated as he was when he let Ings go last year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 It’s a clear no brainer between Duran and Archer for the way we play to be fair. That’s without even thinking how frighteningly good Duran will be in 2/3 years time with Emery coaching him. He’s a very lucky boy to have that so early in his career. Pure baby benteke vibes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinebro Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) You can clearly see why Unai prefer Duran to Archer. Duran is much more complete. Got more tools Edited September 1, 2023 by Pinebro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Great finish from Duràn, but yeah the pass from Torres was perfection. Duràn is strong, quick and does have a great shot on him, unlucky not to get a second against Hibs. Still lots to work on but think we'll be seeing alot of him this season.
