Lucas Bergvall

That sort of performance is exactly why the 'Get Maddison out and Bergvall in' comments were so stupid, and just the usual fan comment that can be said without any repercussions, unlike the managers actions. 1) Maddison is a far superior player, he just needed time to play back into form 2) Bergvall is a talented player, but not yet ready for the pressure and rigours of PL football week in week out.

Not a slight on the player at all - He needs time, to mature and acclimatise to the PL and funnily enough that is exactly what Ange is giving him.....

Nail on the h ead, he is a kid who has a lot of talent but he will make mistakes and i hope some fans will give him time to grow into the team. Sadly i guess there will be some who are more impatient then others.

I dont agree, the last 20min of the game it was all about control. He had a good corner that gave 3-0 and did well in two atacks. Who could blame him for trying a shot from 20meters

It's finding the right time to take that speculative shot. For Bergvall's I think it was genuinely a 4 on 3/4 situation and the way to get the maximum gain from that isn't by trying to score a worldy - It's by using the runs of the players around you in space quickly as to not let the opposing team get back in to shape. Moore's shot was a bit more reasonable given the circumstances, but as always it's always easy to analyze watching the game on tele as if it's as simple as a game of FIFA.

It's early days for the young Swede and he probably just wanted to make a big impact after the frustration of his midweek game getting cut short it's understandable. Ange definitely gave him the what for and why is and hopefully he'll take the information on board moving forwards.

I haven't seen a whole lot of Bergvall but there was plenty to like, some good moments and he didn't look overwhelmed by the occasion at all. Looks promising, maybe not quite ready to be starting in the league for now, not out of choice anyways but we'll see if it comes to it.

He's far from a finished product, and despite that, he's pretty good already! He might become really really good!

In my mind it isn't a 'might' at all. I think it is guaranteed that he will become really good. Players of that age just don't have that sort of impact in the centre of midfield if they're not destined for great things. He is playing in the very hardest part of the pitch and more than holding his own.
 
The 3 young boys tonight looked confident, they knew they could do the job, that's great at their age, in the past we've had young players come in and tried to "keep it simple" and trying not to make mistakes, that rarely works out well, they must have belief in their own ability and play their natural game within the team plan.

The three of them (Bergvall, Moore and Gray) all seem to have that "guaranteed" look. There are no guarantees in football and with young players. But special talents the three of them.

I think some (most) of that is down to the manager. Giving them the freedom but also the backing if things go a little wrong.

I think that's part of it. And good signs of good things going on behind the scenes that they're able to do well. But mostly I think it's that these are special players/talents.

I mean yeah that's important but both Gray & Bergvall were signed in the summer for big fees (relative to where they were signed from and their age) and the manager stated both were signed to have an immediate impact as well as for the future - above all else these are top level young talents who are ready to play at this level

In two or three years' time these three could be our starting midfield three.
