Gert Mare Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 The boy is absolute quality and if he stays injury free and lets his feet do the talking then he could be the player who ends up being sold for a record breaking deal.

Gazred Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 He's got that baseline techincal ability you almost expect with players from the continent these days. What makes him stand out for one so young though is his reading of the game. He seems well ahead of anyone we have at the club already for his age.

This lad is only just 18 ffs.........and what a signing! In a couple of seasons if he continues to develop he’ll be playing for a top PL outfit - I can see him at Anfield. Yes, for Chelsea.

JoeAman08 Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 I love watching him play but I still hope Nagy gets back soon. Sometimes you can burn a young player out or wear their body down. Not saying it will happen just I’d personally protect him a bit when we can. I know we can’t right now and that is fine and also being out of the cup means he gets a full rest this week as does everyone which seems like we need right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes him stand out for one so young though is his reading of the game. He seems well ahead of anyone we have at the club already for his age. The continental game is more technical than the British game and the kids are coached to understand it. That is changing in England now with the influx of foreign coaches and the young guns like LJ but the players are still a little behind. In ten years you will need a degree in football to play it at pro level ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ was reluctant to rotate Pack and Brownhill last season. In an ideal world over 46 games, start Brownhill and Nagy 34 times and Massengo 24. Protect all 3 of them just Massengo a bit more. Basically his first professional season and 46 games at champ pace could wear him down. Talent wise he is probably better than both but he can reach more in a couple years. Rather protect him as an asset a bit is all. 20+ starts this season and 30+ next. Work him into it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could quite easily see us going to a back 4 at some point especially when Dasilva back and then a front 6 of: Brownhill / Nagy / Massengo Palmer Weimann / Afobe This would be our strongest line up (in that system) The midfield 3 could be rested with Rowe, O’Dowda and Walsh/Bakinson in time.

EnderMB Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 I disagree with the idea of Massengo being overplayed. The biggest detriment to a youngsters development in football is the lack of competitive games they play. Obviously, I don't expect Massengo to play every single game, but he should be used whenever he's fit, and rotated when he's not needed. The only reason he shouldn't play a game is tactical. Frankly, I think this is the reason he joined us over staying (and probably playing) at Monaco. He'll get games with us, and LJ will probably play him as much as he wants to be played because he's solid at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed- maybe in some games if Palmer unavailable, Eliasson one side with Weimann as a wider forward on the other could be interesting but largely agreed.

Boston Red Posted August 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 For City's third goal against Hull, it is exactly the same position; Brownhill taking the ball off the back four, Massengo in front of him, options up the right wing. Hull seem to have learnt their lesson from the second goal because they are now man-marking Hunt tightly, forcing him to stand on the touchline. But still Massengo orders Brownhill to pass to Hunt. Brownhill bottles it, because it is a dangerous pass, and knocks it square to Taylor Moore. But then Brownhill holds his hand up to Massengo to say sorry to him for disobeying him!!! The 23 year old club captain of Bristol City, with 200 first team games under his belt, apologising to an 18 year old for not doing what he is told!!! But Massengo won't take no for an answer, points to Taylor Moore to pass to Hunt, though Hunt is closely marked on the touchline, Moore meekly obeys, Hunt nutmeg-flicks the ball down the line for Weimann, and Afobe scores. Moral of the story - always obey Han-Napoleon Massengo. He Noahs best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
