Future Captain Harrison Armstrong

[Bob Sacamano]

Play him every week and reap the rewards.

Few comments about his lack of goals, poor finishing etc, but that will come. You look at the goal return of strikers of Armstrong's age and you're not expecting huge returns. So for a CM, its absolutely not a problem for me if he doesnt chip in with more goal for a few seasons yet. He protects the ball, plays with his head up, covers a shit load of ground and wins his fair share of tackles. He's well ahead of the curve of most cm's at this age.

I still can't get over they tried to sell him for next to nothing.

Once in a generation midfielder, especially for a team like us.

I think classing him as a once in a generation midfielder is a bit OTT for me. Lets just see how he goes for now, he'll have some good moments and a few crap ones over the next couple of years

[Bob Sacamano]

I do wish he’d scored last night. Lovely idea to open up and try the side foot.

Not enough is being said about a 19yr old coming in and holding down a spot in a top ten PL midfield.

[Risky]

I hope the uncertainty over our owners doesn't mean a massive delay in getting him on to the new contract that he deserves.

[Lazarou II]

Incredible player for his age, elite teenage midfielder.

[Big Nevs Vaz]

Thought he was close to being our best player last night. Maybe only second to KDH. I think its the best game I've seen him play. He looked tired towards the end but he covered some ground.

[StirlingBlue]

Once in a generation shouts are a bit premature but he has a genuinely elite engine on him and covers so much ground.

Not "good for a young player" good, genuinely elite at this entire level

[Shogun]

Fella who called him a future captain is a genius imo

[AjaxAndy]

Covers loads of ground, but for me he doesn't do enough with the ball, and needs to massively improve his shooting.

Still young, but I think he needs to develop some standout attributes that go beyond just having an immense engine.

Doing well, but I'm not going to get carried away with him until I see something that genuinely makes me think 'this kid is going to be a world beater'.

Impressive to be gliding around a premier league pitch at 19 and looking like you belong there, but I think at the moment there's a question mark over if he has the attributes to be an elite level midfielder one day.

[Bob Sacamano]

Seems fairly obvious imo.

[Bumble]

He's 19, first season at the top level.

Absolutely willing to overlook any of the criticisms people are throwing at him about this or that aspects of his game that aren't up to elite standard, yet.

The lad is more than holding his own in the Premier League. If he was worth £40m a few months ago I'm excited to see what a full season can do for him and the developing asset we have on our hands.

[StirlingBlue]

Even if he stays exactly the same ability level he is now for the rest of his career and doesn't improve at all (incredibly unlikely) he'd still be a very capable mid-table premier league midfielder which we got for free through our academy which is a massive win.

[Shogun]

I'd imagine if you looked at Gerrard's first proper season at a similar age then they're quite similar. Not to say Harrison will be that level (Should be fine not being that level of twat though) but just being able to compete and be trusted (by Moyes no less) at this level is impressive at that age.
