No. They're top of their qualifying group.

They have one game left on 4th Sept according to Wiki, top spot qualifies automatically, runner up qualifies if they are one of the 2 best runners up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Africa_Cup_of_Nations_qualification_Group_B

Up by four in their group with one game left, they're in.

was impressed with him on saturday. Fast, but a very slow accelerator which was a bit odd.

but yeah, looked good without standing out, just wanting to run at the defence which that quick turn of pace is deadly as well.

Which one is it?

both. When he decides to run he is very slow off the mark. When he is already moves and just has that burst ahead of him, he seems to hit top speed quickly.

As someone on the match thread pointed out, its ala usain bolt, his height makes him slow to take off but longer strides means he gains pace.
