    Teams shape on left hand side is much better with Valle than Taylor. Just felt most of their good play in the first half came down Taylors side. Valle is just a more complete player on the ball. Still young and raw but there is a quality player there.

    Valle deserves to be starting games again because he gives us more mobility, penetration and defensive solidity.

    It's simply because he'll mix it up and go inside or out, turn his man..

    Everyone knows Taylor will chop back as soon as someone's 10 feet from him and never try and overlap or go by anyone..

    He can also side step and beat a man..he's a better player than Taylor...if he has 1 fault it's he sometimes holds on to the ball too long but more games will speed up his release of it... needs to start for me.

    So much more in his locker it's a joke. Also their threat down the left disappeared once he came on. Part of that was Skov Olsen going off but there was still 10-15 with him on the park where nothing came down that side.

    A great loan signing tbf. Needs to start as many games as possible, especially in Europe.

    Apart from being miles ahead talent wise. The big difference when he came on compared to Taylor was the mentality. Straight away looking to be positive and create things with the ball. His first two bits of play he opens out and goes forward whereas Taylor would’ve just played it straight back. Great impact off the bench and has to start for me

    Give us more attacking impetus almost instantly after coming onto the park.

    Nice to have actual width on that side when he’s on.

    …never mind pace, defensive cover for Maeda, positional common sense, and, y’know, other things associated with players who are genuine full-backs.

    I really like this kid, very assured on the ball for his age and can get up and down his wing no problem.

    Should go all out for a permanent deal if possible.

    Is there a realistic chance of us keeping him? (assuming he'd be interested in a permanent move)
    What'd be the price tag?

    If he’s second fiddle to Taylor he’ll not be interested in coming here I doubt. Hes looks a great prospect but if he can’t get the minutes then I don’t see why he’d come here.
