Kasey Keller
Who do you think should be our starting midfield trio?
Read on X that he had a good game yesterday so was keen to watch this. I’m not so sure, got caught in possession a few times and the one touch passes didn’t always land. You’re not getting away that in the prem. Also, looks a tiny bit short of pace - which you don’t actually need in his position but still noticeable.
Highlights packages can be different to watching the match so I’ll reserve overall judgement for now but that wasn’t a ‘great’ reel imo.
Edit: Before I get shot down, I know how young he is which is obvs good….im just talking about the current sitch how lots of people saying he’ll be ready for this season.
You can watch the extended highlights to have some context of how the entire team is performing. Highlights are obviously hyper-focused, and I think if they show all of a player's touches, they can be useful for judging a performance.
And sure he's young, so I'm purely looking at this from the perspective of how he's operating right now. He looks really good, IMO. Pressing the opposition and intercepting the ball, quick forward passing, or driving the ball up the field. I feel like we've missed this type of player as Bissouma hasn't been consistent enough. Maddison was also doing this before his injury. So my logic is that if they can't do it, let's give Bergvall a shot. Doesn't have to be starting the first match of the season, but I really hope he and Gray will be pushing the seniors and making them sweat a bit.
What I do wonder is if he's supposed to be good at FKs? He took a corner and it actually looked decent.
