Xavi Simons

and the tricks are nice but the basics - like movement, quick thinking still not up to par

He looks like a player who has the talent and not phased to run with the ball, still only 22 and i look forward to seeing him after a run in the side.

He makes good moves but the passes never come...

He’s definitely got the vision and, I think, a real desire to improve. I’m holding out real hope for him - still a lot of learning and developing to do, though.

Could not agree more, sadly a fair few of our fanbase seem to have very little patience for young TALENTED players.

Hmm I dunno, against Bournemouth he had quite a few good moments that involved passes, specifically spreading it and stretching them. Nothing beyond what you would really expect him to be able to do but they were passed into the stride rather than our usual passes into feet.

It wasn't an overall good or great performance but it had some decent indicators.

HE isn not the problem whatsoever for me.
Our ability to actually play a style of football which best uses his skillset i.e. through channels and finding him in pockets where he can attack via channels, is the problem.
Yes, there were some decent indicators that we wanted to play a more offensive game, however again, we are not set-up to utilize a player like him at his best strengths.

Agreed. I really hope we decide to play a style of football which suits his peak skillset more so as we can see more of him.

This is my view on it, I don’t get the hate?
