Let’s face it if he had a yard of pace he would be a superstar. Without it he becomes a younger version of Andros but with better set piece delivery.
Personally at the moment I still think he is more effective as an impact sub when the game becomes a little more open and stretched.
He has time on his side though and his best years are still a few years off.

Oozes class. We just have to be patient with him as he's only young.

I don't think it'll be long before the "big clubs" come sniffing. I reckon in another 18 months he'll be a top player.

I think that's fair but what he can do with one foot most couldn't do with three.

Olise is still young and could work on physicality, 'weaker' foot, tracking back and probably a few more things but he is an outstanding talent, he has both a footballing brain and feet, what a coup.

It's not really a case of 'what he can work on' for me, it's 'what can he add [to already an array of highly valuable qualities]' to make him a top, top player. His set piece delivery in itself warrants his place in the team for me.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

I might be out on my own, but apart from that cross. I didn't really think he offered much yesterday.

Granted he was heavily marked, but felt there were a couple of opportunities to put the afterburners on get early crosses in but he turned back.

Interesting point this. I wonder how much he can improve. I was fortunate to play at a decent level as a young 'un and we were told that if you weren't a two-footed player by the time you were eight, it was too late to learn. I accept that some people might have one foot so good they don't need the other. But I'm interested in the sports science (or whatever it is) question about whether it is actually possible to improve the weaker foot beyond a certain age. I'm 65 now. Still working on the left foot.

Yeah Maradona, Messi, Salah etc. are all known for how two footed they are...
