Showed he has what it takes again today, I felt. Really impressive from a 20 year old. Super sharp touch, great one touch link play and he's so strong.
Interesting to see which players looked comfortable at that level generally.
Sadly Kone looked out of his depth all game.
Thought Dunne did well but then go horribly exposed by Summerville for their second.
For me Madsen looks like a Premership class centre mid. Stood out all game as our Rolls Royce player.
Smyth was the big surprise IMO. Really held his own. Was pretty magnificent.

Kone scored. Again. He's doing fantastically for the levels he's stepped up at his age. West Ham played a back three against him yesterday that has cost them £90m.
Kolli, there was a moment in the second half running towards us where we played a long ball up to him, two defenders on him, and he brought it out of the air immaculately, turned one of the markers and beat the other, accelerated away into space in front of where we were standing. That was proper.
Desperate to see him get fit and play the next three months while Burrell is out. Then we can start making judgement calls. But he's got something. |  | | |

Well put.
Knockers should lay off Kone, whilst he is still learning at this level. He is not the finished article yet. With good management and coaching he should improve and become a regular 15+ goals per season striker at this level, if not higher. He has 6 goals so far and only just past halfway into his 1st season in the Championship.
Edit: I forgot to add that he was up against experienced defenders and in some cases , international ones.
Dykes scored 12 in his 1st season and got steadily worse.
Jamie Vardy struggled until his late 20s when he joined Leicester and then took a few seasons before a more prolific spell in the Premiership.
Carlton Morris struggled to get goals until he joined Barnsley in his mid 20s and even then wasn't prolific, but he did improve whilst at Luton and now Derby.
I think Kone should be given time to improve before he gets criticised by fans. [Post edited 12 Jan 14:58]

Well yeah when you look at the strikers we've had prior to Kone, it's a real head wobbler as to why anyone would feel the need to criticise him. |  |

I think Kolli has potential, and better decision making would help and hopefully come with more experience.
Unsure if it's just me, but looking at the body language of people he plays with, they really don't seem to like him. |
Strange comment to downvote. Made an observation that is all. |  |

Didn't press enter on this earlier.
I thought Kone was decent and he absolutely ran his blood to water, which to me speaks volumes about his desire to improve.
Don't forget he was up against 80 million plus of central defenders, and that's if I don't count Mavropanos who went off.
Pleased with what I've heard from people who know more that I'm well wide of the mark on Kolli not being liked due to attitude.
Makes it seem even weirder that he hasn't played more... | | | |
