Tel is asking for it on his right foot on the floor. The angle is there. It's knee height with way too much pace and forces Tel to reach out off-balance with his left foot.

No idea what some of you are watching.

It was a good play to create the chance and just not a great pass. I like Gray.

Eh? No it wasn't.

It wasn't a perfect pass, but for a CF by trade it was good enough.

Yes, it was. Watch the 2nd replay and you can clearly see it is off the ground at knee height. When Tel strikes it, it's also off the ground. It never bounced. It's hit with just way too much pace and not accurate enough.

The camera angle on the 1st replay is misleading so I can see why it looked easy.

His right foot barely left the ground......... Knee height means the ball would have had to have met him 2ft-ish off the ground.

...That's far from the case.

The ball is literally at the defenders knees on the replay when it goes past them. That's fucking knee height. It doesn't bounce before it reaches Tel and it's clearly still off the ground when Tel strikes it... maybe a bit less than knee height at this point.

Don't know what else to say.

The ball doesn't arrive to Tel at "knee height"... A few inches is all. Tel basically met it on the half volley.

The pass wasn't perfect, but it was good enough.

Okay, so a fair assessment of the kid's game deserves a zzzzzzz. Okay.

We all know your MO, pal. Anyone who dares criticize - or even just raise questions about - a player (or manager) you're enamored with will get that kind of treatment from you. You just can't deal with anyone taking a shot at your proteges...at least you can't do like an adult.

We all remember what you were like with Ange. Things have changed, you haven't.

No, your straw man nonsense to down play one of the few players actually showing up every week was Zzzzzzx

Nobody is saying the kid is Lahm or Gerrard. I don’t even know what Lahm and Gerrard would have looked like at 19 in todays Premier League.

Do you?

Are you genuinely ok? Like seriously?

He was previously so poor even you barely defended him...you stated no player should be judged under Frank (whilst slagging of Palhinha may I add). He then picks up form in a different position and you become obnoxious forgetting everything that has happened this season.

He's playing better, yes he's definitely playing better...it's at RB though. You refuse to accept any criticism directed at a player you like, my God.

Look at these weird posts.

Did Jaynola Jaynola say anything for that type of reaction? Did he say he was an exceptionally shit player? Did he say he's a cunt? Did he say he's the worst player alive?

He gave him praise for scoring and providing a cross to Tel (tbh that cross imo wasn't even good but he played some exceptional forward passes that game imo).

Him and Sarr were poor for the goal though, what does him being a kid have to do with that?

At this stage it's like trying to teach a penguin how to juggle.

I'm giving up.
