It goes down as a bad miss but we shouldn't hold it against the youngster. He will hopefully learn.
Can we make this into a banner for the top of the forums?So why be negative so quickly?
Has to get up to speed. Has the skills, but the PL is different pace. The more exposure he gets to the league the better he'll become. All the talk has been about him but from the reserve game Jayden looks a find.Lovely player. He glides past opponents. Once he builds his confidence and adds a change of pace to his game he'll be a star.
Potential is there but I think he has some way to go to being a first team regular. Can't quite see why at the moment he's getting the shout over Archer, who hasn't even made the bench under SG; Archer has a rare natural talent and has done well when given the opportunity by DS,Has to get up to speed.

It's not real surprise to me that his strength and conditioning is clearly his weak point given his age. Other than that he will just need to get sharpened up to this level but all that will come with them.Has to get up to speed. Has the skills, but the PL is different pace.

They play in completely different positions so not sure it makes any difference myself. Been reading quite a few reports that Gerrard feels we have too many forward players in the squad, so wouldnt be surprised to see Archer get another loan. I'd guess a few Championship teams may be interested after his goals this season
Keinan has been talking about moving on; he wants to play. So that leaves us with 3 strikers including Archer, and Ings is injury prone. Archer can also play as a winger.

How did he do when he came on? He got an assist I heard.
I didn't realise you were that closeBig hug and a smile from Gerrard at full time

What can I say? He obviously realises potential when he sees itI didn't realise you were that close
"Grace" and "lazy" I think are just impressions given by the fact he's got really long legs! Yeah, the boy glides at times and I think the (positive) Pogba comparisons aren't a million miles away (or hopefully won't be one day soon) in that he could probably play anywhere between the strikers and the defence and look comfortable.He got involved when he came on and what I like about him is he isn't lightweight. I am yet to see a player push him off the ball without fouling him. Ramsey and Carney are the real deal in terms of being Premier Lge. quality players at a young age.
To add to what Ironside said, he does indeed have that element of grace and ease about him that YKW had. Someone else also said he almost seems lazy and I think it is because as Ironside also said he just doesnt seem to have that explosive bit of pace. The positive about a player like that is he cannot rely on pace he must rely on ability and it looks like he has bags of it.
Its hard to judge more than that because under Gerrard he has been brought on when we're trying to see out games so he isnt getting a lot of the ball. So still a long way to go but at 18 years old you can see he has the basics that are needed to succeed in this league. He has the strength to assert himself and the quality to mix it. I am not too concerned about the contract situation or his attitude. Gerrard wouldnt be keeping him in the mix if we thought that was a jeopardy.
