Of course he was better than Luiz, he never got a booking or gave the ball away a couple of times, oh oh hang on5/10 performance which is fine for a kid making his debut. No better or worse than anyone who has played there this season.
Next couple of games are a different beast to playing the worst team in the league by some way. So wouldn't play him for his own sake. He has come in had a taste now don't go overboard and get back to training and development. Maybe one more start this season after away to Burnley and home to the dippers are out the way.

A really good showing I thought against an admittedly weak team.
I'd guess he'd get his arse handed to him against a proper PL team but still nice to see at just 18 years of age.
If SG is thinking of offing Luiz with Tim as backup to Nakamba then that gets my approval, assuming we think Nakamba is definitely fixed.
He reminded me of Isaiah Osbourne when he first broke into the team. He looked solid enough and at times impressive although a bit loose in possession.
Thats a bit harsh for a kid making a debut. You could also say he made the odd tackle something Luiz appears unable to do. For the record i also think Luiz is decent but not a DM.
remember Hogg against Untied he had a storming game
Ah Osbourne
