Peaches Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Watching a player of his age makes me feel old and I'm only 25 hahaha. He was very impressive on debut. Good luck with the rest of the career. Keep working hard and continue to back yourself. 102megan 1 Link to comment

Kizza Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 He's a CB first and RB second apparently. Link to comment
GunnerWanderer Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 for 16 this kid was immense. A few stray passes.... outside of this you can't complain. Link to comment

theguyyouwishyouwere Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 in the first half, some fancy footwork and a nice turn. super confident on the ball at such a young age. a young Spiranovic? WhoDoWeSingFor 1 Link to comment
shakeyourface Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Great debut on such a big game for this kid. Can someone please make a video highlighting him from this game?!! Link to comment

Unlimited Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I had my doubts, I admit - but he was fantastic. He had no problem darting in, cutting inside and looking forward - he really has eased into the "Polenz" role, an attacking minded RB. Link to comment
Malone Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I don't like him.He makes me feel bad about my own life. Great debut. Balkanite, MiguelB, 102megan and 2 others 5 Link to comment
GD07 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 In the first half the ball came across to him from I think mooy, warren came charging in and he just calmly let the ball roll across him and kept going upfield. Link to comment
Jonaldo Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Okay I get it that you are older than the players, I'm now much older than many managers, however when the players are younger then your own children then you know you're getting on in years.

SBW Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Handled ADP pretty well and surprised how quick he is, managed to catch Abbas a fair few times. Well done to the kid... Link to comment
GD07 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Sounds like he's spent more time at CB than RB. That may explain him not bombing on as much as polenz. Also 3rd youngest debut in a league history. Link to comment
Adam Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Very impressed with him every time he touched the ball - so much so if Spira didn't have a blinder I'd give him the MOTM. Link to comment
JackDoff Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 This guy was great last night, confident , composed & skillful . Big future ahead. Now for the LB position...... Link to comment
Davo Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 In future when people question the whole 'in Popa we trust' thing, remember this move. Brings in a 16 year old for his debut, in the Sydney derby, puts him on the most talented marquee player ever to play in the league and the kid plays like a boss. Burgerman 1 Link to comment

mark675 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Big lad for 16, imagine when his voice breaks and he starts getting hair downstairs. Link to comment
KGee Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Was funny hearing Popa stating he had been training with the first team or at least lately because it's the school holidays. Imagine when he gets back to school. So what did you do in the holidays Dan? "Practiced practiced. Played football and showed some Italian midget I'm not to be messed with in the Sydney Derby. You?"
