Its a pretty important attribute for a full back these days. That's why I expected him to be quick given we paid so much.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
That's the issue...he's hug him out to dry really as he's our only left back.
It's like telling the lad on work experience that he's head of the company now. Good luck
I get that but maybe he was never all that quick and that's not what we signed? The way people were speaking it's like they'd seen him was rapid and now isn't or something.
I dont think I had ever seen him play before so I had no idea. I just had the idea in my head about what I want to see from a full back.
He started very shaky and got better as the game went on. The one thing that was most noticeable for me was he wasn't quick for a full back. Maybe he will get sharper but pace is something you have or you don't.
I'm not saying he's a bad player. I have no idea yet if he's good or not. Its just an observation based on today.

Don't think people realise how much fitness has to do with pace. Remember Godfrey was out for a few weeks and his first game he was slower than sin. When he is up to speed let's see how quick he is
The thing that was very noticeable to me, was that he looks to be hard as nails and doesn’t shiz out of anything at all.
He’ll need to work on this side of things or he’ll spend a lot of time suspended.
I don’t think he was fully fit. He got forward quite a bit in the first half, remember him overlapping and being further forward a couple of times in the first half once we remembered how to play and remember him sending over a nice whipped cross to the back of the six yard box.
Ridiculous to judge him after one week in the country let alone only just meeting his team mates and starting to learn the way Benitez wants to play

I wouldn’t jump on the pace element based on tonight. There wasn’t a situation where he showed he was either slow or fast I didn’t think. From his youtube reel, he looked more athletic than a speed merchant. Hopefully that still proves to be the case.
Longman looked a good player mind mate. Hull manager had a good day at the office for me, they over loaded his side on his first game, he got to grips with after that spell. Won’t do him any harm and these are the games to acclimatise him.
The other thing the Hull manager did was put that asassin Docherty on Gordon to hack him to peices after he was destroying them for the first 25 - Docherry clearly to told kick him out of the game.
Knew his stuff that Hull manager.

Yeah he looks to have a bit about him but I thought he played on the right side of the edge and was in control.
Put the ball in where we should have got the 1st pen (where Gordon flicks it inside and its handballed)
That's the only one I can remember like

Agree, needed more time to bed in rather than thrown into the Lions den, don't think he will be in the same class as Digne but could turn out to be quite useful.
