Normally I'd agree, but he looked visibly panicked in games and was doing some really weird stuff. It's not uncommon for young players to come in and look confident, only to suffer a big dip later on. I'd also argue double the amount of games is huge at this age. Anyway it doesn't really matter because I don't buy that the Saliba issue is purely about a lack of experience, certainly not anymore.
Back on topic, I thought Lokonga looked good against Bradford, very calm under pressure and great at playing out the back unlike his midfield partner. Hopefully he'll be able to add more to his game as the season goes on.
