Take a bow son. What a performance against Spain last night, this is top quality international opposition and he looked superb. I couldn’t have imagined how quick his development would have been, especially given some of his performances last season
I have to credit Claude Puel here who showed faith in him and is clearly doing an excellent job of coaching him. We seriously need to be pushing for too 7 because I can see the vultures swooping for him, Maddison and Maguire in January. If we are hovering in mid table and looking like we aren’t going anywhere then they will be tempted

Agree with the above. A steep learning curve last night and he got caught narrow often and gave the ball away in dangerous positions going forward.
But that is to be expected as he learns the game.
Surprised he didn’t look more out of his depth personally and still believe he has a way to go to be good enough for Leicester nevermind England.
But as far as debuts go, those two games will have done his confidence the world of good and I hope he kicks on and continues to develop for us.
No doubt Puel has improved him a lot and he’s finally kicked on this year.

Better than Luke Shaw imo.

Looks great going up and down the wing, his final ball whenever i've seen him for leicester has been below par. Looks absolutely rapid though.

Find his development surprising/staggering. Remember watching that U-something? WC where he and Holgate were massive let downs at the FB roles. Fast-forward a couple years and he looks one of the best LB's in the PL.
