I think that's right. With everything that needs to shake out, keeping Sess around makes sense. As you say there are plenty of games for Nuno to assess him and develop him. We can make a call in January.
FWIW I think he's looked better in these last two games than before. Better mentally, focused and looking to get involved.

I agree.

I think we just need to play him, probably at left back. What has Kyle Walker got that Sess doesn’t?

I think he needs 30-40 games this season to keep developing, he's not going to get that with us.
Problem with that is
- Reguilon is streets ahead of him (even if Reguilon has some developing to do himself)
- Davies is still here, and showed last night an interesting tactical option (just sitting while Gil & LW combine ahead and Doherty goes forward on other side)
- LW can be any of Bergwijn, Gil or Son (no chance for him there)
He probably just about gets in the B team options for cups, just not enough games, he still looks a full season off making real impacts

Well the ridiculous pace is fairly obvious. While not slow, Sessengnon doesn't appear especially rapid. Also upper body strength again, Walker has loads not sure if Ryan does, he hasn't demonstrated any.
I find it a bit of weird comparison, they don't seem that alike to me.

Davies is similar to Winks in that he looks commanding against weaker opposition, and is shown up at times against quality sides. But as a 3 at the back he's ideal.
I don't think Reguilion is streets ahead. Sess probably has him for pace, strength, height, and...possibly defensive prowess. Going forward they are both good. But I would say Sess is possibly the better finisher despite being 4 years his junior. I do agree that at this moment Reguilon is better, more composed and settled. But if Sessengnon can get settled, I think he could be better than Reguilon. But great to have them both and Sess will hopefully rotate with Reggie, and crucially get a stretch of games to settle.

A nasty streak, I've never believe he has the right mentality to be a defender, good footballer but got to show it.

Walker is faster for sure, but not by much. Sessengon has more technique than Walker did at his age, however. Sessengnon is pretty strong, that is obvious, he can hold off men at pace. He saw off one player to the byline last night without breaking a sweat. You find it weird whenit is clear both are fast players, and both are pretty strong? Granted Sess is not as developed, but he has technique and finishing that Walker never has.

That comes with games. And good management.

To an extent, you should be a better defender with experience, but I think you've got to like defending to be a good defender. I'm not in love with pretend fullbacks, give me someone who can tackle, cover, pass and doesn't want to be a winger.
Walker is a tank mate, he's a fudging unit and years of experience using that strength.
At the same age, there probably isn't much between them, but Walker has developed over the years quite well and consistently.

Walker has unbelievable recovery pace and has never in the years I've watched lost a foot race to anyone. Its the authority he does it with that makes the difference. The opponent quickly gives up.

Speed is not everything. But I think it is fair to say Sessegnon is in Walkers bracket. Walker was widely castigated on here when he was Sess' age. There is no doubt that Sess is also strong. But all of this counts for nothing. It is about performances and awareness and keeping your cool in games. I'm pretty sure Nuno can see Ryan's ability, and him and Reguilon should be awesome LBs for us. Reguilon has more experience, and though anything can happen, for me, longer-term I think Sessegnon has the higher ceiling because of his physique, pace and ability in front of goal.

Walker isn't a pacey player he's literally one of the fastest players in the PL. Sessengnon hasn't shown anything even close to that speed wise.
Their play styles also seem very different, Sess is like you say by far the better attacker. Just seems a weird comparison, Sess can and has played as an attacker whereas Walker was only ever played as a defender.

So aggressive as well, in the tackle and attacking the ball. Loved Walker!

Walker is an interesting comparison. As he wasn't so highly regarded when with us, and Sessengon's raw attributes are not that dissimilar. Arguably Sessegnon is more skilful, certainly if you judge them at a comparative age. I think Sessegnon just needs games and patience. As Walker did. I would play Sess at LB, and he would maraud forward. He loves 1-2s and I think that is the answer to unlocking his attacking potential. He needs to play off people and be able to sprint down the line. Unlike Walker, he is capable of cutting in and finishing from the edge of the box.

Did you read the post above yours?

That has top speeds listed which is not particularly relevant. Speed of acceleration is a far more useful stat. Walker has insane acceleration so gets to his top speed very quickly, never seen anything like that from Sess. Maybe he has it but I've never seen it.
