    I wouldn't describe him as raw..

    He's was outclassed v PSG but so were the whole team and the manager..

    Apart from that he oozes class just needs to learn to impose himself for longer periods in a game..

    He would be raw if Random Review got him.

    He was being touted on here last week as our next big star and 30m rated, now after a bad PSG game he's "not good enough".

    Holy * I thought I was bi-polar !!!

    He's a creative midfielder that doesn't excel in defense. Against PSG it was a case of being put in a situation he's not meant to be in.

    Jesus people. He couldn't hang on to the ball the first half against PSG and now all the sudden were trying to re assure ourselves that he'll "come good for us".

    The ball was bouncing off our entire team that game, and our team as a whole was outclassed. The guys a stud and looks like our next big money player IMO. One bad game and everyone jumps off a cliff. He's fine.

    Come good? He's barely put a foot wrong since he joined.

    He's already "come good". He'll still get better though.

    However, I don't think he's in our strongest XI right now. Armstrong has been in great form of late and should be starting next to Brown.

    He's had one really good game against Astana, every other time I've seen him he's been very inconsistent with his passing. His first touch is often very good and his range of passing looks good, but his actual delivery has been very hit and miss.

    Aye... Full of panty wetters. The guy looks brilliant. Fine, he was * against psg but so what? They'll make far better teams/players than ours look * this season too.

    If it's about strongest XI, Brown shouldn't be in it as he's only had one good game this year (his last!)

    Nah, me neither. Looks classy receiving the ball and creating a bit of space for himself, but his passing and ball retention hasn't been great so far.

    These are the games that make a man of the youngsters.

    Brown is the anchor of the team and we are not the same without him! Would play Armstrong and Brown personally because don't think Ntcham is better than either of them yet.

    Very strong when going for a 50-50 not afraid to get stuck in.
