I just had a look at some vids. Yeah at that level he definitely had more composure, and it answered my question about pace over distance as well; nippy little fucker.

I think people are over rating him! He is a good young kid and will get better over time, but he isn't close to Owen's levels. Giving him the name Scottish Messi is cringe and an omen to fail. Give him the last 20 mins of a game and full cup games and see how well he does
there’s definitely some adrenaline and excitement hampering things
He reminds me of Sterling when he first burst on the scene more than anybody else. Him or Raheem. One of the two.
I think we should loan Ben out and keep Doak.
I like it
He's ridiculously good. If he was around in 97 with the much poorer quality in the PL he'd already have had half a season in the first team and be a household name. That's the problem with the Owen comparisons.
He should stay and be a super sub and eventually be groomed to succeed Salah in a couple of years.

He really does play the kind of football that gets people off their seats, taking people on and jinking past players. Keep him!
I dont see the "he doesnt use his left foot" at all tbh. He dribbles with both feet, passes with both and will with time be better at finishing with his left as well. When his final ball is a bit more accurate he'll explode onto the scene. Will probably happen for him during this season.
Well it's a bit like saying Robbo and Mo don't use their right foots.....of course they do but it'll mostly be for the simple basics otherwise very rarely else & it's pretty hard to dribble with one foot unless you're just knocking it 50 yards in front of you and sprinting past your man to get on the end of it, I.e Kyle Walker (if you can even call that dribbling)
He is predominantly right footed, whereas your Trent's Jota's Gakpo's and Nunez's are more 2 footed but as he attempts more crosses and shots with his weaker it'll become more apparent.

I think it's just another example of the kind of low-effort criticisms people make of players in an attempt to appear sceptical and sophisticated. Same with this idea that he lacks a final product.
It's 90% bullshit. The sad truth is that the lad is a genuinely precocious talent.
Is as big a talent as Ryan or Brewster were?
Or our youngest ever goal scorer?

Looks fearless, which is a great quality for a kid coming into the first team.
Just one question though, could you tell me who produced the video? Would quite like to know but kinda hard to work it out.
I have a few different names in my head whenever someone mentions "our youngest ever goalscorer", think it was Sinclair at one point, then Rossiter, then moved to Woodburn then Harvey maybe?
From the top 5, Owen is the only name that stands out so I wouldn't be worrying about that record anytime soon.
& his name was Rhian, not Ryan DreamersBelievers
Is it Woodburn? Whatever happened to him? I’m too lazy to google it.
Was on loan at Hearts, then I think on loan at Preston and think that's where he remains now after we let him go.
Cheers
That is some sexy shit right there, great work as always @King Binny you little genius.
Another thing that's good about him is his attitude. He's got the terrier spirit to go with his footballing ability. Me likey.
If there's any shining light to the Europa League it means the likes of Wee Ben get their chance to play more
He’s got a spectacularly large head tho. Something that makes it a little more difficult for me to like him.
