Odin Thiago Holm.

Bit of a shitebag off the ball, but really confident and calm on it. Looks very tidy

 

Thought he was our best player 2nd half with exception of Turnbull.

Great touch, great awareness, doesn't panic which for me was number 1 priority.. So calm. I can't remember him losing the ball. Was great to watch

 

Pler

 

Will be very tough for him to displace one of McGregor, Hatate or O'Riley but he looks the part. Very similar to McGregor in fact.

 

Looks decent so far, maybe a bit lightweight but the way he glides and body swerves to make a bit of space for himself and his use of the ball look good are my early impressions of him.

 

I thought that too, the way when it's hectic and the ball gets fizzed about a congested midfield you know he will still take care of it and keep possession for us.

 

Looked good for a first performance.

 

Thought the opposite to be honest. Was defensively sound and had 1 or 2 crunching tackles in to the mix..

Was very very impressed by him..

 

He made a big difference as he didn’t fear taking the ball in turning and finding a team mate, the midfield first half were all guilty of either giving away (Kwon and Hatate) or playing it straight back where it came from (McGregor).

Off the ball he started to get more stuck in the longer it went but he looks a talent and would work well with a destroyer type in there.

His awareness and use of the ball is very good for a 20 year old.

 

Aye, looks like he could be a good understudy to the skipper.

 

Really impressed by him with the run out.

 

Maybe shitebag is the wrong word, an exaggerationfor sure, but I worry he gets by passed pretty easily in there. He looks a really good footballer though

 

Really tidy on the ball , very composed and able to take it under pressure and find a teammate.

 

All you can ask for a player in the middle of the park is to be tidy and do the simple things extremely well consistently.

Been more impressed the more I see of him.

I'm really looking forward to seeing more of him.

 

Not only was he tidy and composed on the ball but as others have said his awareness was great seen him constantly scanning what was going on around him and where there was space. He also read situations very well n made some great interceptions. Excellent 45 mins from him.

 

If he continues to show up Hatate in terms of how to protect the ball and not continually lose it in ur own half due to slack or lazy passing then it may not be as tough as you think for him.

Very early days but he looked very good.

 

So far so good..

 

Definitely a bit lightweight but only 20 so that’ll come with time. On the ball he plays like an experienced midfielder, can pick the ball up and get out tight spaces with ease, very impressive for that age.
