Dowman

Mirth

DKGooner yep, it’s a little concerning because he’s got the perfect height for his role already. He just needs to fill out a bit which he will automatically

Klaus

If Dowman ends up 6'4 all it means is that god gave with both hands, and he's gonna be one of the best strikers of his generation instead of the best second striker.

DKGooner

Klaus If he reaches that size, I think he might be better placed to play deeper to keep getting more touches on the ball as he learns to understand his frame. Moving him to striker or second striker i think will be very frustrating for him if now he has to make off the ball runs and play right up against opposing CBs whose marking style will be very different to what he is used to playing against.

Gurgen

Klaus we will have our very own Zlatan, without the psycho

IBL

If he does reach those heights we could be looking at a freakish Halaand level player - ridiculously tall but quick, balanced, technical etc.

The world’s finest ACB

DiabyKungFu

We need to get this guy off of the touchline. He's not a winger so he's dependent on the rest of the team to create space for him so long as he's out on the touchline.

Asterix

It's fine. He's still very young and can learn from playing in different positions and situations.

awooga83

Asterix also why we shouldn't load too much expectation on him. He's young still learning anything we get us a bonus at the moment.

When do we think Max will get a proper first team kit number? My 4 year old son really wants his kit but I’ve been holding off since I felt like he’d change numbers this summer.

Mirth

samthegooner once he signs his pro contract.

JazzG

I don't say this to overhype him but a lot of top class players don't have ball control like that. Did the same against Everton last season when he scored as well when he side stepped the player. The dribbling style reminds of of Kaka.

He is still young and very important to ease him in.

Don Pacifico

JazzG thanks for that. Was annoyed the TV footage didn't give us a slow mo replay.

Although even in slow mo I'm bamboozled!

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

You can see why he's viewed as a central attacking threat rather than stuck on the wing.

Panda

Don Pacifico Yep even the slow mo is fast 😂 crazy talent.

Segway

So smooth. Makes it look easy which is a sure sign of greatness.

lorddulaarsenal

Both finishes for his goals were impressive- the first a quick stab and the second a soft touch to nudge the ball before a brush in to the corner. Elite

daredevil

Two things that haven't been discussed - he led the press to force the goalkeeper to misplace the pass which resulted in Madueke's goal. Off the ball is just as important as on the ball, if not more, so I was pleased to see that.

His technique on the second to control the ball twice with his outer boot to set up the finish. Exceptional technique.

lorddulaarsenal

daredevil another thing that hasn’t been discussed is that wild assist from Eze for his first

Qwiss

daredevil the press has been under-discussed in general. They had to give up playing it out from the back after around 15 minutes it was working so well.

positively foden-esque.
