Mathys Tel

Confession, I really doubted him, thought he just wasn't up to PL standard ---but boy, what a goal! Really fabulous. I hope he proves me wrong time and time and time again. The goals we remember best are the stunners. The Ziege free kick. Danny Rose. Kane defying the angles from way over on the left before ripping off his mask in celebration. The outrageous ones are what we love, they feed your heart and soul like nothing else.
 
His ceiling is amongst the highest in Europe. If we fail to get the best out of him he will.move back to the continent and become a worldie for the next five to seven years.

There were tons of people on here in the era when one G.Bale first started playing for us who said he was dross. Tel is another like that. Sadly the sky news daily star collective have created a world of definitives - a player is either amazing or toss - nothing in between.

In Gray, Tel and Fernandez we have three of the top youngsters in Europe - we had four but sold one to Brighton.
 
At the same age as Tel is now.

van Hecke was on Loan at Heerenveen from Brighton. van de Ven has just begun to start at Wolfsburg. Tosin was on loan at West Brom in the Championship. Senesi has just become a starting player in the Argentinian top division for San Lorenzo. Robertson was playing for Hull in the Championship. Maddison was playing for Norwich in the Championship. Kudus was a squad player at Ajax. Marmoush was on loan at St Pauli in Bundesliga 2. Solanke was a mostly unused sub at Liverpool.

I guess all we can do is trust Roberto with this young guy. Mathys has now reminded us of what we lost when Sonny got to his senior years and needed to eventually leave. That goal was Sonnyesque to be fair. There's also been a lot of fans suggesting Richi should have been ahead of Mathys. If he keeps performing like that and having end product, our Brazilian striker will soon be forgotten. It's perhaps a reminder that guys like Mathys get less opportunities all the time we hold onto the senior players. We always need to create space for them to be nurtured which is what is happening now with Tel.

Tel's flaws are decision making ones, either hesitation in making the first move or just wrong choice. That can be coached.

I've also said, for now, he can't be the main man, he needs Maddison, Fernandes, Tonali, Kudus, Savio, etc to be pulling defenders away, making space for him to isolate against his FB, the Chelsea game highlights what he can do if he's given the 1:1 opportunities consistently
