Port Said Red Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 Firstly, for those who haven't seen the other couple of threads of the last few months, no he's nothing to do with "Tony". But give the kid his due, just turned 17 and had the confidence to stick his hand up and say "I can be an option". Clearly although quick, he runs like a newly born foal, but he worked really hard and showed some real intelligence. Like everyone else, I enjoyed the tackling back to stop a potential Oxford break, but my favourite thing was him pointing out to Matty James, where he wanted the ball to run onto. Certainly not overawed that's for sure. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 The Tony thing became boring very quickly. He didn’t look out of place and great that Nige introduced him when he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 Very lively, and very aware on what was going on around him. Another exciting prospect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 My only whinge from tonight is I’d have liked to have seen Araoye or Knight-Lebel get some first-team minutes while we were so comfy at 4-1/5-1. Opportunity to rest Zak or Rob too. BUT was really cool seeing Yeboah get a run out, and enjoyed his pace and presence. Looked very bright. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they wanted to rest midfielders, not defenders though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chief Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 Looks to have something. Wasn’t just about using his obvious pace and energy but also played some nicely weighted passes. That’s a very good sign. Was the perfect time to blood a youngster . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was more of a central striker but he played right hand side for last 25 minutes. Would describe him as “busy” - always wanted to be involved (but also kept position well), one great recovery tackle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the training camp in Austria would have built him up. Could see a bit more of him this season maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Masked Man Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 What I really liked about him was that he kept it simple a lot of the time. Didn't try to to do anything too flash. A great experience for him and hope he kicks on in the U-23's this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwicolin Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 He is very quick and does his defensive duties well. Looks a very good player. Another young striker in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Dickie looked like he was blowing out his arse in the first half, he wasn't on it at all, not winning much, passing poor, slow, 2nd half he didn't have anything to do however Yeboah looks quick and strong which is great, just needs time to work on what options to take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Yeboah only got a 20min cameo last night but certainly showed enough to become a regular in the first team squad - only 17 as well. The academy has produced some excellent young players over the years, the list is almost endless and well worth the investment. The pathway has become very clear and as the saying goes ‘if you’re good enough, you’re old enough” really applies at City, particularly with a manager who’s willing to give these young guys an opportunity. Many managers throughout the EFL are very reluctant to play young inexperienced players - SC was one - How do graduates get experience if they’re not given the opportunity? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 12 minutes ago, Super said: Is he likely to be loaned out? A great deal of discussion with Nige and his coaching staff goes into whether a particular player would benefit from regular mens football away from AG and no doubt that Yeboah’s name has been involved in those discussions but as yet him being loaned out hasn’t happened. Yeboah getting a 20min cameo last night will have been part of his development. Being involved in the first team set up, experiencing the managers team talks and gradually becoming familiar with first team regulars. It’s possible that he’ll involved in the matchday squad on a regular basis with all travelling, overnight stays and lifestyle - LJ did the same when Semenyo was breaking thru. So…….the answer to the question is - who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
