    It's his drive and strength for me.
    You completely forget he's only 19!

    Plays with confidence as well and happy to drive forward and rattle one in.
    You'd honestly think he had been here for a few years and was 24 or something.

    I mean no offence to Mikey, but this is the kind of player he should be on the left, if he got his injuries under control.
    He's prime to be a similar sort of player to Abada.

    Gonna be controversial and say that technically I think he's a better footballer than Furuhashi. And is 7 years younger.

    What a great assist again..

    Took the wrong option 2 or 3 time's straight after that to really kill the tie..

    Love him though..

    Looking forward to him putting on a show Sunday..

    Could have killed the game early in the game. Couple of really poor touches in very good positions.

    Worked his * off though, and it was a good assist for the goal. He's been a great signing.

    A poor or less technical player miss hits that cross or plays it behind, or plays it too fast etc.

    It was perfectly weighted. That is not an easy ball. I think we need to remember he IS 19. Kyogo is 27 in January...mad. Love them both. Get another 2 similar ones in that front line.

    Kyogo is far superior technically and I don’t think it’s really close to be honest.

    Nah I disagree.

    Kyogo's movement and finishing has been shown to be top class so far but I think Abada has looked better in other areas. Again, there's also 7 years between them.

    I can get why people would think that with Kyogo, fair, but I dont think "far" superior is fair. Both class, end of the day.

    Agreed..

    I rate Abada highly as well but he can have wayward touches or when cutting in he'll accidentally knock it on with his other foot..

    Kyogo is technically so good..

    His first touch was poor tonight and he struggled to beat his man as easy as he does domestically. Quality delivery for the assist aside I thought he was sloppy in possession, still put a shift in and played beyond his years though so can't fault his effort overall.

    Tbf I’ve rarely seen Kyogo dribble with it. Don’t think there much between them apart from Kyogos movement.

    Kyogo’s touch and linkup play are already levels above the rest of the team.

    Abada is class. He’s got some cross on him but he’s still raw and gives the ball away a lot when he shouldn’t. I would say he’s not even on Forrest’s level technically never mind Kyogo’s.

    I know their ages but you were the one who said he was better technically right now so I don’t see what age has to do with that.

    He done well for the first goal but really should have added a goal with the two situations he had in the early stages of the game but took heavy touches. He is only 19 and had very little service for much of the game.

    Aye…

    It’s not a criticism of Abada, he’s just very far behind Kyogo technically which is completely understandable. Abada gets the ball caught under him quite a lot and stumbles a few times a game.

    Kyogo just never seems flustered.

    I think Abada and Juranovic will dominate the right flank on Sunday.

    Aye I think Abada is class but he's young, it's natural he won't be polished yet..

    He is very close to being polished though. Quite a mature player with an end product already in almost every game..
