I happen to believe that had we not conceded the penalty and it was 0-0, AWB would not have been placed in that position at a time when we needed to chase the game to equalise.

Hugely promising player who I think has less than 10 PL appearances to his name.

If you had Townsend in front of you then you would be making plenty of last ditch challenges!!
He will get tired - he is young and it is mentally tough in the Prem week in and out.
He is a top young player and when he is the finished article he will be amazing!
He pretty much is already to be fair

The kid is doing well there's no doubt about it, but he takes a hell of a lot of unnecessary risks in possession and we were lucky to not get punished for it last night. There were two or three occasions when he tried to take a man on in the opposition half when Townsend was miles ahead of him and there was no cover behind him, he lost the ball and there was all the space in the world behind him for the Scouser Scum to counter into.

I know he's a former winger but feel sometimes he needs to remember that he is now a fullback.

He's not the finished product yet, still has a ways to go but this criticism of last ditch tackles it a bit much I think. He was up against a team who have players with silly pace all over the place, no-one is saying anything about Sanchez or Alexander-Arnold doing the same thing when Wilf was going past? Some players are going to get past you nomatter how good you are, having the ability and timing to get back at them and nick the ball away if it happens is a positive. As for the red, it's not like he tried to make a challenge, just put Salah under pressure but nicked his leg whilst doing it. The kid has great future if he carries on, Clyne did it for us in the Championship, he's doing it in the Premier League.

"They got his own song 'He's just too good for you', it's quite unbelievable but when you see it and he's facing up someone - I actually feel sorry for them, 'Cos he actually is" - Ian Holloway

I know it has been said many times on here before, but this time the "best full back since Kenny Sansom" claim looks to be coming true if early impressions of this lad are confirmed. With our experienced coaching staff, he has a great chance of becoming exceptional. His sending off came because he was the only player fast enough to get back and in range of Salah. His positional sense is coachable, his natural ability and athleticism is exciting. I even liked his reaction to the sending off: he was upset, but didn't argue; there was no petulance, just regret at leaving his team with only 10 men. The best prospect since Zaha for me.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA...did they not pay him enough for the other 2 games?

The First 90 Minutes Are The Most Important!
