Not sure what to say, against a decent side we would have been buried by half time.
Brought a kid on who is brave and gets on the ball and plays. Intelligent and full of belief. With Summerville there is the possibility of a great partnership. Pace kills teams like Bournemouth ( and us tbh )
Rodrigo offered little besides his well taken penalty.
Harrison needs a spell out of the team, Greenwood showed his quality in this game. Joffy again gets a mere ten minutes but had more quality in that period than Rodrigo in 80.
Cannot fill the team with kids at this stage - but the sad reality is that is where are quality lies.

When there were rumours that we were gonna sell him to Newcastle for £40 mil, I said at the time that we should snap their hands off.
We wanted £35-40mil.
Newcastle offered £17mil then slightly over £20mil.
Kinnear then mocked the bid in his notes because he is a pillock.
Let's see more of those youngsters. Summerville seems to be the finisher we've been crying out for for a very long time. Gnonto's play to set him up for the winners the past two weeks has been nothing short of brilliant (I still can't get over the way he headed the ball to himself over a defender last week).

Limited skills, hasn't the pace of Summerville or Gnonto, his goals have dried up.
Chooses the wrong option on far too many occasions.

Rasmas improved in the second-half significantly as did Pascal when we had pacy subs with great movement on the park.
I know, hence my player rankings, both full backs were excellent and I don't, now, blame him for either goal other than he was skinned for pace. But he hunted down Tavernier later at pace, got a yellow for a tackle he won

Strange how our inexperienced kids can play the system.
Gnonto and Greenwood got to play in their strongest positions, Greenwood is a CMF not an AMF so his rivals for that spot is Roca and Klich. Gnonto can play anywhere across the front 4 as can Cry though he's better on the right
Bielsa built Harrison to be a left winger predominantly and it shows. Harrison is a learned footballer, same Rodrigo and Llorente. The natural talent isn't there like it is with the likes of Summerville, Gelhardt and Gnonto... the latter 3 will go off script. Nothing wrong with that you need both types..

Indeed, but the fact is we have better than Harrison now in Summerville, Gnonto & Sinisterra (when fit), he can toddle off to Newcastle or where ever his career takes him imo, fed up of his one-dimensional style & inconsistency.
