Despite today's result, I thought he was excellent today. Confident, vocal, moves into space when he's off the ball, pings the ball with accuracy and pace. Gave Thomas a bollocking at one point and rightly so.
He's only played a bit part this season but I've seen enough of him to think he's an immense talent.

Many years ago I reserved judgement on my missus until she took her top off.

Don’t think we have seen enough yet to make a judgement but done ok today. Needs to eat a few donuts in the summer ready for next year.

Madison looked, and still is, lightweight. Shouldn't hold that against Westbrooke just yet.

Which is purely based on if he lives near him or not. If it’s the same road he’s got no chance.

Meaning you haven't decided yet, as this description doesn't reveal a lot either? That's not a criticism of the description, just a slightly unusual choice of a word to describe a player. I haven't seen enough of him myself to make my mind up.

Another year of development and he will be an ideal replacement for bayliss. Same style of play and also looks identical

That’s handy. Perhaps we could sell him to Derby for £2mil + Thomas and keep the real Tom Bayliss all to ourselves.

I have high hopes for Jack Burroughs too - looks a decent footballer to me.

No looks almost yaya toure-esque. Physical and technical.

Westbrooke looked very composed and definite didn’t shy away from getting the ball. All very well playing nice tippy tappy football though-the one time he tried to spread the ball a bit longer (when Dujon was in acres of space) his pass was woefully short. Took the dead balls away from Kelly-so players must know he’s got talent.

Still developing but definitely impressive.

In the games I've seen, he reminds me more of Ben Stevenson than Bayliss in terms of his style of play. Drops into a space and plays a pass - looked like he wants the ball to do the work and is less direct than Bayliss.

Hopefully MR will speed up his progress and not slow it down. If he believes he can hit the top he’ll have to play around

He was / can be still but when you play at a higher level you are afforded more time on the ball due to the quality of the football being played by the rest of your team I think... anyone see Madison play against Man City tonight, looked quality!
You can afford to be a bit lightweight if you’ve found space and moved the ball before the opposition has even got close to you
Maddison was mixing it with the elite of the premier league tonight and the sky pundits picked him out as one of the stand out players first half ( only half way through the match on catch up the moment as had to wait for the wife to go to bed ! Haha )
