He needs to start against Villa, one of the few plus points from yesterday’s game.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

The only positive from yesterday for me. I thought he was very good when he came on, looks to have nice energy and tempo to his game and always looking for the killer pass which he nearly executed at one point.

If TF thinks he can get 60 minutes from him he should start against Villa.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

Promising cameo again for me. When he’s been bad it’s because he’s been anonymous, but he was lively yesterday I thought.

Couple of times he shaped to play an obvious pass then changed direction and opened the game up. So close to that through ball to Wissa, just needs more game time to refine his touch.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

Completely changed our tempo and threat each of the times he’s come on this week.
Playing like he’s got something to prove.
Hope he starts over FTT, inject some much needed creativity and dynamism to make a positive difference to our attacking intent.

We continue to hope that he will make it. But this boy cost us £20 million. I'll say no more.

Did you even watch his 30 min cameo y'day?

Created an immediate uplift in our attacking play and if Wissa had taken a touch on that inch perfect pass he'd have had a one on one with their gk.

Posting that after his first appearance for over 3 months makes you look very silly.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

Not bad for his first start of the season. Gave it away cheaply quite a few times but
his quality was also clear to see. Should’ve scored. Def starts for me until Jensen is back
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

We need him at the moment as he can play the kind of combinations and threaded balls our currently available forward players need. Played well until he tired but should have buried that chance first half.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

Missed a great chance and lacking physical presence in several situations. Not sure his game is suited to the PL imo. Will be looking to him over the next few games to raise his game, but the jury is out for me.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

Again - confirmation bias. Every bit of praise has a barbed comment added to it.

He looked class on the ball and found time and space and his vision was exceptional.

He also tackled and pressed.

He looked the player we hoped we were getting today.

Delighted with his performance.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

Played forward a lot.

Composure on the ball with good vision.

Got his foot in on a few tackles.

Occasions where he defended like a training cone.

Explosiveness of a small child.

Some of the stuff I heard in the North Stand. You’d think that he’d played like prime Zidane.

I can see a player but he is going to need a lot of quality and strength around him to really flourish I suspect.

That was his best performance for us. He was the quality on the pitch today, alongside Norgaard.

Won a lot more tackles than Janelt did Defensively.


As expected, tired on 60 mins

It was probably his best performance although that’s off a low base. Personally I thought that Pinnock, Ghoddos, Norgaard were the real quality for us today

I think you're being harsh. Agreed, the other players mentioned were excellent.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

Worked hard today, good on the ball, good tackling, always showed for the ball & used it well. Hope this is a landmark performance for the lad, the talent is there for sure.

"Occasions where he defended like a training cone"

"It was probably his best performance although that’s off a low base"

MD was part of the "real quality" you mentioned about the other players e.g Ghoddos. It was his best game and deserved a lot credit.

Your summary is very OK..... but..........

BTW, it's your view and thats fine. Just think it's harsh.

Fair enough. It’s about opinions.

Although, some of his defending was very static and players ran past him very easily. He also really lacks explosives over short distances as well.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

A very good first start back, in my book anyway. First half especially was very promising. Shame he didn't score.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

Did well today and was always going to need replacing around 60mins. He needs a run of games now.

Only grumble is the early chance. Simply has to score. No excuses.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

Played some lovely passes today and added much needed creativity. Let’s hope he can now stay for and kick on. He’s a class act.
 

Mikkel Damsgaard

Hope he stays fit and starts to play with confidence, actually think he looks bigger, stronger and fitter. Such a talented player, wish we’d see his long range shooting skills more.

Disagree completely.

At one time he may have been a lightweight, but he was very robust today. He won lots of challenges, made lots of useful moves and really shone today.

He has now stepped up a level and is well worthy of a starting place.

It was a REALLY bad miss early on though. Like KLP before him, he needs a goal.

Yep plus lost the ball horribly twice in the first half and in really bad positions but still imo was his best go at this so far for us. That soft shooting thing has to change but Jensen used to have that issue so perhaps spinach and vitamin C needed again.

...............a ray of sunshine performance................

Can someone please buy Damsgaard a multi gym for Xmas. Lots to like, in relation to technical aspects, the ability to see a pass, decision making, football brain and whilst he gets about he needs a strength training programme to turn him into a proper player. The potential/talent is obviously there but he needs bulking up.

He sat a few villa players on their arse today; not sure if that was more of them play acting though....
