He will learn from this, had a difficult first half .. reminded me of how colwill was as a FB under Poch neither here nor there.. the boy is going to be an exceptional defender.. but Gusto and Hato in their natural positions helped us.

Needs to be playing as a centerback. That is clear.

Crystal Palace are targeting Josh as a replacement for Marc Guehi.

Have made an enquiry to us already.

cut out the middle man and sell him straight to Man citeh?

No, No we should not sell the lad.

Not gonna lie, if I were Josh and I saw Chalobah, Tosin and Badiashile all ahead of me in the pecking order I'd be putting in a transfer request.

Especially after being promised game time allegedly before the start of the season by Maresca.

100% should go.

Far too good for us. Deserves so much better than how we’re treating him.

Generational talent IMO, will go to a City/Liverpool in 3-4 years for 5x what we end up shifting him for now.

Can't trust a word that man said though. He's played in every game except for Pafos since Maresca left.

9 PL games in a row on the bench under Maresca.

Bloody idiots picking our team.

Josh is our best cb. He is better defensively than anyone we have, Colwill included, has great pace and strong in the air.

Can anyone makes a case anyone we have is better? I will wait....

Playing Trev, Tosin, Badi or Fofana ahead of Josh is like picking Marc Guiu ahead of a prime Diego Costa or Garnacho ahead of Hazard...

Well of course we can make a better case simply because the boy hasn't played enough.

He has shown great promise although his passing accuracy still needs work. If we treat him right and play him in the right games then he definitely has the chance to develop into a cracking player but let's not blow too much smoke up his arse until he has a body of work under his belt that can be objectively scrutinised.

He should definitely be ahead of Tosin in the pecking order, that's for sure. I would hope that he srprarts against Napoli.

Needs to be getting regular minutes as Reece and JT did before him. Should be the cornerstone of our defense for the next 15 years.

He will make mistakes sure but less than the current mob do, imo, who have way more experience than he does...

Liam Rosenior: “Josh Acheampong is an outstanding player, a great talent. I want him with me”.

I reckon this 2nd half of the season will be decisive regarding his long term future here. Bayern will come back in the summer, and he will use Musiala as a reference. I expect Newcastle and Bournemouth to put in offers also, and all 3 teams will offer him a starting role

Maybe its just me but I'd love to see him develop into an Ivanovic type RB.

Liam Rosenior thinks all of our players are "outstanding".

Proof is in who he is told to pick. What does Josh have? 5 minutes in 4 games?

Edited January 30Jan 30 by axman2526

Said it every interview every player is world class.

Put him on a lie detector and see if the machine blows up when asked about Badishille!

if he’s outstanding as the Coach says then he has to start against West Ham.

If he doesn’t start him then it’s clear he doesn’t rate him as a CB because he’s playing Bada ahead of him.

To be honest, I’m starting to get tired of the BS LR feeds us about players being outstanding. He may think that he’s outstanding but we all know who picks up the players.

Would you rather him say Josh is sh*t?

No, I’d rather him play him and not Badiashille or Tosin. Less talking and more doing. I don’t need him saying that every f**king player is a top player and then playing those we all know are dogsh*t.

He’s gets asked about these players though, he has to say something.

I get what you mean but then, Josh has got 5’ of game since he arrived. I’m tired of coaches saying things that we clearly see they either don’t believe or they’re forced not to follow. The same with Maresca, he always said good things about players but then he never played them.

He played the full 90 against Charlton and 53mins against Arsenal too. I do agree he should be playing more, one of the first names on the team sheet for me at the back. I’ll judge more once the manager is settled in whether more minutes in the league come, but so far he’s only managed two games.

Badiashille today and he got hooked at half time. How’s that going for the outstanding player?
