Sure, but his endurance has been awful since day one

So even more reason to blame ourselves for not sorting it out!

Either way he's been really good lately and hopefully he can get even better 🙂

Arguably our best signing under the new ownership alongside Palmer.

He's consistently good and always one of the best players on the pitch even when we are sh*t. I don't think Reece should replace him when he's fit, he needs to work for it.

Only 20 years old this kid btw, quality player. Even when he's having a difficult time he can still provide something. 

Malo Gusto vs. Man City:

67 touches

10 clearances

9 duels won (most)

8 tackles (most)

7x possession won (most)

3 crosses

2 big chances created

His stamina is due to his age, just like Palmer, Madueke, Mudryk and Jackson, as they all mature it will improve. Another one of the problems that come with such a young side.

Said it when he was bought; he isn’t a backup, he is genuine competition.

May well be, if he can focus and retrain there, and of course stay fit, Reece mainly is used as a DM. Got all the tools needed to do that job.

Sometimes you take small positives from defeats, I thought Gallagher ran himself into the ground but this Gusto lad was absolutely sensational yesterday, an absolute beast, smashed it. and puts everyone in his back pocket. Made Dias look like a schoolboy. 

I think we're going to have a hard time keeping hold of him in summer or January. Exactly the sort of player Barca/Madrid/PSG/city will look at. thankfully he's a blue... 

After a nervy start he made Diaz look ordinary. Its becoming clear this guys has huge potential. 

A brainy player with fizz. Fantastic potential 

Seriously, where does Reece play when he comes back? RCB in the back 3?

Gusto is fantastic.

RB?

Gusto really struggle to defend far post.

Gusto is undroppable. 

If we play Reece RB, where is Gusto playing?

Back 3 suits everyone, except for our wingers.

Honestly considering the lack of competition I would just play him LB.

All our defenders do, it's not a Gusto specific problem.

Real Madrid

Really been an excellent debut season, has taken the step up, and that early Villa red card set back,  in his stride. Looks class already, and just 19.

The right side of Gusto and Palmer is really special.

Gusto has been brilliant for the last couple of months, he still has a bit of nativity in him which showed in the first Newcastle goal when he needlessly tried to flick it over an attacker's head but given his age hopefully that's just something that he learns from. 

Only 2 months older than Connor Bradley but media won't care given he doesn't play for Liverpool.

Playing for the wrong a team mate if he had on red they would be raving about him.

Stand by this if he continues he could be in the top 3 RB in the next few years.

Absolute bargain this lad normally we are panicking due to Reece injury but now in Gusto we trust.

Only 20 years old. Incredible signing. Need someone like him on the left. James has to fight for his place back.

I do wonder what will happen when Reece returns. 3 at the back? Reece in midfield? Didn't Bayern do something similar with Philip Lahm at one point?
