Some decent touches but a bit messy today. Wish he'd drive more at his man as he did for Hirst's header at QPR but he is still learning. One thing though, he is getting into some great positions to slide him in but not getting the ball. It's happened several times recently. |  |

I have a lot of hope for him, and I think having Burns back will help relieve some of the pressure he carries on that side as the creative option.
He is, as you say, learning. Often when he has the ball he seems to only have one outcome in his mind, like you can see he is looking to cut inside or take on the man before he makes the move and is not quick enough, yet, to come up with a change to throw the defender off. But this will come as he picks up the pace and strength as he clearly isn't short of skill but just choosing the right option at the right time.
As others have said, I would like him to play some minutes in other positions, such as 10, and with Burns back that may happen a bit now, just as Clarke played in 10 briefly today. This will also help his development I feel.
He is young, after a year in this country and British football I think he will develop rapidly. Let's hope that's in the league above. |  | | |

He played one beautiful reverse pass for Nunez in the first half.
Trouble is by the time we work it to him he often has two men on him.

Been the case a bit too much this season imo.
I appreciate he’s young so needs a bit of time but he is far too quiet too often. Just seems a bit one dimensional and easy to defend against. He probably has played a bit more than we thought with the other options we’ve had there. |  |

It's also easier to defend against him when it's effectively 2 against 1 by design. He hasn't got a Davis bombing on, so he's got more defenders going all in on him. A couple of passes not up to his speed of thought I think today, just behind by a small margin so he had to check and with close defenders it was too late by then. |  | | |

Think thats unfair on furlong tbh. A few times he took the players away yet when he did egeli then chose to pass to him instead of using the space.
Its a fine balance. Ive moaned at philogene for not passing to davis sometimes so I cant moan at egeli for doing so... however there is a balance and I think furlongs overlaps are greatly under appreciated |  |

I actually think furlong has been up to support much more in recent weeks. Not as much as Leif but I don’t believe he’s left on an island. But even when he does get his defender 1v1 it’s very safe. I just expected slightly more so far. | |

I think he'll learn a lot from Burns. Happy for them to rotate this season. |  |

I don't think he's a winger / wide player.
Will end up in No10 or No9 roles. |  |

We’re certainly not getting anything like the output from that side as we are the other. I really rate Furlong, he’s rock solid, I think him getting forward on the over / under lap a little more like he did today will help create some space for whoever plays in front of him. Walle-Egeli has bags of potential and to be playing as much as he is at 19, a few months after moving to a new country and higher standard of league is testament to his natural physicality and ability, but judging solely on merit and without that context I think it’s fair to question what we’re getting out of that position at the moment.
McAteer is a weird one, he’s barely had a sniff lately. |  | | |

Thought Egeli was poor today bar couple of nice passes.
Really hope Burns is returning at a good level |  | | |

Not his position can't go on the outside very predictable,
A ten eventually |  | | |

We don't seem to be getting Sindre into quite as many good shooting positions as we were a few weeks back. His physicality and workrate tend to mean he's always present in a game though even if not producing a lot. It's good that most are aware that, as you say, he's taken a massive step up and it's a big thing for him to be coming through this kind of schedule well.
Definitely got concerns about who we rotate him with – Mcateer seems well out of favour and, while it was a wonderful moment for Burns the other night, I think we'll have to keep the jury out there.
Furlong has quietly been excellent in the last couple of months. |  |

Egeli reminds me of Odegaard so moving to a 10 eventually could work really well... |  |

I thought he was decent today - quiet start but played a part in our second and was part of some nice moves in the second half before being subbed.
Whisper it quietly, but Burns was worse than him when he came on. | |

Burns looked a bit of a passenger when he came on this afternoon tbh. And we've all covered our thoughts on McAteer, or at least his contributions to date.
Can't see a scenario where we get another RW in, but those in the building need to do a bit more really, if nothing else to ensure that Walle-Egeli gets a rest, or the option of being the impact sub against tired legs. |  |

Thought he had possibly his worst game today. His first ten touches were dreadful. He never looked threatening & doesn't have either the pace or confidence to take opponent on. He was double teamed a few times today to be fair. Rather him than McAteer! |  | | |

not for the first time this season, McKenna's subs made Town worse. At least he worked out quickly that the experiment with Clarke as a 10 was a failure so he moved him to the one position where he is effective. |  |

Right hand side a real problem for me. For all his obvious talent and potential - Egeli's output is poor. As many have said I think he'd be better as a 9 or 10. And it is only to be expected after such a long lay-off, but Burns was way off the pace when he came on. Seemed loathe to sprint, and was limping by the end. |  |

Against a robust Oxford he did look considerably lightweight. He's only young...got time to develop. |  |

I noticed Burns not going in for a tackle a couple of times...probably needs to get his confidence in his body back. | |

I'm going to ask this again - what is his obvious talent and potential?
I cannot truly state his standout quality that makes people talk so highly of him.
To be seen as having great potential there needs to be that 'special something'.
It could be pace, dribbling, ability to beat a man, vision, being a natural goalscorer, showing he has that little bit of extra time that others don't have, power, amazing touch, incredible competitiveness, or something else.
I just don't know what it is, and by now I feel it should be obvious even if he only shows it in glimpses and is inconsistent. He seems pretty good at most things, not astonishingly good at any of them.
Is it vision?
Please help - I want to be a bigger fan of his than I currently am! | | | |

He has the ability to switch play with ease. Can pick a pass and thread players in on goal
Unfortunately based on our wide right role we arent seeing the benefits of that from him
Imo.. get him central to rotate with nunez and get a higher quality right winger in the ilk of Hutchinson who can can invert and go outside with ease. | |
