People need to remember he's 19 years old. He's got many many years to develop and get chances. He had a good game last night but he does show his immaturity at times, and in a game like an FA cup semi vs the likes of Everton (Who frankly are having a good season for them) you can't drop Gerrard for this nor expect Jonjo to play.
He's got some very good sides to his game. The Gerrard comparisons for me are correct. He has the energy, the desire, and the bollocks. The ability will be seen in time, but like i said, he's 19 years old, there's no rush. I think he'll get plenty of game time in the league before the end of the season, and then next year perhaps see more and more.
I see Jonjo's strengths as a player but there's something about him, his presence on the pitch. You always know when he's playing because he goes looking for the ball trying to make things happen. When he picks the ball up, his first thought is "Look forward" which many of our new signings rarely do, their first thought is "5 yard pass back to whoever passed me the ball". At times this season about 20 minutes into games about the likes of Adam or Henderson, you wouldn't know they were playing! You can't coach confidence, and Jonjo has this in abundance. I just hope his progression continues at this rate because if it does we'll have one hell of a player.
