Before my time, but for a more recent comparison, Adam Wharton didn't get his debut until he was 18, and he was far superior to Tyjon at the age of 17 Players being even remotely involved in the first team picture at the age of 17 are very much the exception, regardless of their potential Not to say it doesn't happen, but normally only happens when a player has standout physical attributes as well as their technical ability I personally do not expect anything more than the odd cameo from players until they are 19 or 20

Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach

Back in the day Wales had three really good centre forwards. John Toshack, Ron Davies and Wyn Davies. Because the fans were agitating to play all of them the Welsh coach at the time did it - once. It just didn’t work. -

John Byrom was scoring hat-tricks for us in the old First Division at a similar age. I was expecting to see a player with similar levels of ability as John had. I haven’t seen them yet -
Been eligible to sign a professional deal since March, LET saying that it's been on the table as soon as he turned 17. If he was going to sign it, he would have by now I reckon.

Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach

Very England mid 2000's esque in the way that they have had a bit of a golden generation but don't have a system to fit all the players in coherently. Strikers these days cannot work in a 2 every formation is centered around 1 lone striker. I'd imagine both Gyokeres and Isak feel incredibly uncomfortable playing with each other and also don't know how to play with each other. 4-4-2 doesn't particularly work in the modern game and their squad lacks a solid defence and keeper for a 3-5-2 but they play this way as it's 'modern' but it just leaves them wide open, just to shoe horn in 2 strikers (who have been nothing short of sporadic this season) -

They’ve already got a play-off spot through winning their Nations League group, but they’ll obviously have to improve a lot to stand a chance in that. -

Unlikely that they will qualify for the world cup now. Booed by the crowd and banners telling him to resign, yeah it's not going to end well for him. Kosovo beat them 2-0 a month ago as well. Expectations were raised a lot i think, following Isak and Gyokere's big money moves in the summer. Assume once it's mathematically impossible to qualify, he'll get the bullet pretty swiftly. -

Not to mention someone pressed save instead of send. -
Yeh I'm not saying he won't make it, but he doesn't seem to be where the hype train suggested he would be. I had the impression he was going to be a useful squad or at least bench option this season. Now that seems like it's maybe 2 seasons away.

Steve planned this, Steve planned that. Lip service taking advantage of fans. If he wanted to put a plaque up or do some painting he had the authority to do so. -

He grew up a few houses down from my grandparents apparently! At least Pontypridd can claim Tom Jones as an alternative. -
