I have given your comment a 'like', despite the fact that I do NOT think the lad is ready to be playing.
In short - yes HE gets 'a pass' from me, because he is so young, and as yet, ill-equipped to play any significant role.
But - DeZerbi does NOT get 'a pass' for throwing him in - especially...
He isn't though, is he ('good enough to play for Argentina')?
They seem to see him exactly as we currently do - a talented youngster, whose potential makes it worth letting him hang around with the senior squad for experience - but not actually play any games.
I'm not sure how many squads /...
Primarily, because of his lack of pace, I'd say.
So really, people are suggesting that he is 'not a winger' more than he 'is a no.10'.
Personally, I'll be delighted when Facu and RDZ prove me very wrong, but I don't see much there, yet. He's so far off it, that we are carrying a passenger when...
It’s true they call him up to train with every squad, so they clearly see plenty of promise in him. He’s only actually played once though - in a friendly v Indonesia.
in the last break, he was called up, but not actually named in the match day squad for either game.
Showed a new facet to his game yesterday, by not only being ineffective, but adding total ill-discipline to it. RDZ had no option but to hook him, because he was going to get himself sent off.
To suggest Sarmiento would be a more useful option is a MASSIVE understatement.
