20 year old with very little first team football fucked out wide right, away to the tarriers, that's on the manager.

McLaughlin, Tav, Goldson, Davis, Lundstrum, Kamara, Kent....that's where the focus should be

He made exactly the same mistake with Diallo (although to be fair Diallo was meant to be a winger)

Aye he did, could tell with Diallo though that he was well short, which makes it worse tbh

Tillman you half expected today but he at least showed glimpses of quality both today & more against PSV

Think he'll be a good signing if we get him, better than the options we have for attacking midfield but wouldn't be pulling the trigger on the rumoured 5/6 million until we see alot more

Playing an inexperienced centre mid on the right wing was a horrific call, absolutely destroyed the boys confidence in an atmosphere like that, should have started the game playing behind colak, again it's the right side forward position that has not been addressed, and if anyone thinks matondo or Wright's the answer then think again, we've been fkd for years in that area and it's never been properly addressed.  Wilson again fucking us over

Because he is a rookie.

He's the same age as abada. 

And it's no like he's fresh out the colts team.... came through the Bayern Munich reserves and played on their first team.

 

Occasion got to him today.

Abada has played over 100 first team games according to Wiki. 

He has, Matondo has played 70 odds, Tillman has played less than 10

Said it earlier, if we were pinning our hopes on Tillman being the key to this season we've fucked it already

I don't think Tillman was told what to expect today. It needed to be emphasized to him exactly what was about to happen. He seems like a very shy young boy, and he was intimidated today, big time.

So far, he has been brilliant at receiving the ball and instantly finding time and space, but they were all over him like a rash as soon as he touched the ball.

He's gonna be a great player, but needed help today - unfortunately that help was never coming from people like Davis and Kamara. They are the biggest culprits for that capitulation.  The fact Davis stayed on the 90 minutes is criminal.

Game passed him by, bit like Diallo in February. Still think he is one of our better options.

It's crazy to think he is going to be reliable for an entire season though. He was a B team player last season and will fade as the season progresses. Even Aribo had a habit of a dip in form in each season he was here. Game time will need to be managed properly.

Barely moves, and when he does he looks like he’s towing a caravan. Clearly not interested in putting in the hard yards to get back and defend. When that’s the case then you better be shit hot in attack, which wasn’t the case today. He was one of the many reasons we got skelped today.

Wasn’t in the top 5 reasons.

I'd be laying the blame at guys like Goldson, Kent, Davis, Jon and Tav who have been here for years before looking at a 20 year old kid shoe horned into a wide role he struggled with a few weeks back.

Mind you Gio knew this beforehand and still done it...learned nothing from chucking the last youngster in when we got spanked last winter. 🙄
