Lucas Bergvall

Udogie has played 104 senior games in Italy and England.
VDV 110
Sarr - 100
Johnson - 92
Porro - 175
Deki - 178
Rodri - 292
Vicario - 111


I would say that all of them have enough about them and the experience even at a young age to be able to function as a component of Ange's first team. The only one of that list that is light on top flight games is Dragusin.

I was also surprised at how few top flight games Vicario has - makes his debut season all the more impressive.

Vicario did it the hard way. Coming from the lower leagues.

Damn you for making me think on a Tuesday afternoon, was looking back thinking when on earth did we sign Rodri lol :). Took a minute
 
Properly weighted passess and direction in front of the player to run into
It's really noticeable when players DON'T have this ability.
You get 3 or 4 players all combining and popping the ball around with 1 or 2 touches and then another player gets involved and it's shin high or behind them or too fast. Naming no names, some of the "first teamers" did this v Hearts, and the kids showed them up.

Spence's through-ball was excellent. I think that's what we've been lacking: the team running at defenses all together. I think we also pressed well in the second half, but you have to "press" on offense as well. Get numbers up and in motion. The young players offered that movement.

Couldn't agree more!
 

I think he's going to be a lovely and vital player. I think a midfield of Gray, Bergvall and Sarr could be really interesting. I think Gray could very quickly make himself our 6, and then Bergvall is jostling with Madders and Deki...so many over our young players look hungry to make it happen. Haven't seen this many of them look that promising for a while. Of course, this has been building for a while and speaks to how great the congruence between all levels of football has been at the club for a year or more...

'Pass appreciation' that's the term you're looking for.
