Will Lankshear

I'd rather he stayed and trained with 1st team than sit on his arse at a lower league club who think "he's a big lad stick him up front and whack it up to him". Apart from Kane most of the forwards we've loaned out have had limited game time due to injuries or managers not giving them a chance. You've got to be a very brave manager to gamble your job on an untried kid as your main striker.

I think you can split the season in 2 halves actually. There are a load of games before the new year in the league, EL and Carabao. It can take its toll. Could Lanks train with the 1st team, play a few for the U21's if he's not active in the cups and then we put him out on loan in January?

That's probably quite likely. January can be a decent time to loan out players.

Assuming he stays I hope it's with a plan to give him some first team minutes here and there at least.

If he were fit I think at the very least he would be on the bench against Saudi Sportswashing Machine considering both Solanke and Richarlison will be unavailable Sunday.
 
I'm hoping that we have some strange combination of circumstances that finally push Moore and Lankshear into getting game time e.g. Richie/Solanke being out, Odobert/Werner being out, so rather than sitting and watching, Ange uses them and boooooooom we see them excel.

he'd force fit son and kulusevski into those roles first !
 
Lankshear did well today.
A real shame that for his early big chance (was it Werner's cross, I forget) he got ahead of his man and should have just headed it straight down and in, but he tried a flick header, missed it and it hit his shoulder.
Later a cross came in and he wrestled himself free of his man and his shot hit the turf and bounded just over the bar, very close.
He also nearly tapped in the Porro shot that hit the post; if Porro's shot was more on target it would have gone in, if it was less on target Lankshear would have got it, but it just went between the two.
Fine margins. I thought their first goal should have stood, which would have changed the game hugely.
Likewise I thought we deserved 2 penalties, the first when Porro was hacked in the shins in the box, but stupidly got up to carry on.
Secondly when Lankshear was put through, the covering defender scythed him down.

i thought he lacked a spring in his step or pace to lose his marker and get on the end of things.

probably still not fully match fit

That's his strength, he gets in the right places to score, he's not half as good as Moore but I'm sure he'll score goals.

Any other strengths as you see it?

Seems to me to have good ball striking technique, though I definitely haven't seen much of him actually play. Also good athlete, will probably improve with time too.

He's strong but that's hard to judge given the opposition I've seen him play against, he's clinical and calm in goal scoring situations, not speedy but uses his body to keep defenders away from ball.
