Not quite sure what to make of Williams. He always looks busy but seems to make the wrong decision way too often. It almost feels like he watches Salah do everything at pace and tries to replicate it, I find myself saying 'slow the fuck down' 5 times or more each time he plays, it's all knock it wide and absolutely wrap your boot around it regardless of what's infront of him. Prime example the Sonyuncu (sp?) block first half, it was clear the cross wasn't going past him.

I know what you mean, think it's his running style. It's like he's galloping in tiny little steps every time.

I feel sorry for him as he’s the back up for probably the best right in the world right now, so the drop off is always going to be huge and very noticeable.

He's 20 years old. He's perfectly fine as a back up option.

Fella can't win with you lot.

Has to replace the best RB in the world usually, then had to replace the best player in the world tonight! I for one thought he was fucking great second half.

Max_powers · « **Reply #924 on:** December 23, 2021, 12:26:35 am »

He has had a really good season so far. Had a good game today as well.

But I don't think he should be played as part of the front 3. He is just not suited to it. Would rather start with Gordon in the front 3.

Bobinhood · « **Reply #925 on:** December 23, 2021, 12:27:53 am »

For sure he was good, big part of the excitement. Ran tackled crossed defended dribbled attacked never quit. Passed my report card with aces.

I agree, I think he’s adequate to give Trent a spell when he needs one.

I second.

Can't understand the (nearly unrelenting) criticism he gets on here. Thought he was again typically good. Lively, quality passing, quick recovery when he did hit one awry, gave the left back all kinds of trouble, won us 2, 3, 4 corners...

He's been good this season. Gives his all every time too.

The knee slide at the Leicester fans at the end

I was having this conversation the other week with someone after they namechecked him as a weak link in the squad. How good do you want a back up right back to be, considering the one we have? We aren't City who can sign a 50 million full back every year and even if we did then Trent is still going to start most games.

Neco's level was poor last season though and was available for transfer as a result but ended up staying. It's a difficult one for him as he'll best going off to develop elsewhere at some point where he can play regularly. His level this season as a back up right back has been good.

Raaphael · « **Reply #931 on:** December 23, 2021, 09:26:12 am »

It looks like we have some good youngsters in fullback positions. Neco is solid, still young. Owen Beck, Conor Bradley and I believe we have some youth England players in those positions as well.

MNAA · « **Reply #932 on:** December 23, 2021, 04:28:21 pm »

Neco has developed and progressed from the youth prospect of 2 seasons ago to a very decent back up to a world class right back. He has matured as well. Of course Klopp also have the options of Gomez and Milner too. Bradley now is the youth prospect

If he decided to leave, we’ll get £10-15M at least

stockdam · « **Reply #934 on:** December 23, 2021, 08:30:41 pm »

Not sure Neco should start as right wing again especially against a decent side. He doesn't have the control or skill but he is fast. He does put his all into the game and is coming along nicely.

Agree with this. He is coming along as a decent right back cover. Defensively he's getting better and he gets forward well enough.

RogerTheRed · « **Reply #936 on:** December 24, 2021, 07:11:45 am »

Did well when he moved to right back. Energetic and skilful.

Ghost Town · « **Reply #937 on:** December 25, 2021, 09:13:15 pm »

A little more to the left and he could have banged in a top goal as well. He's doing fine for a 20 year old. I guess he suffers by comparison

Red Cactii · « **Reply #938 on:** February 1, 2022, 01:20:49 pm »

Hope he gets a consistent run of games that he needs to either get himself more minutes for us (hard to do behind TAA) or line up a permanent move where he can play regularly.

Perkinsonian · « **Reply #940 on:** February 12, 2022, 05:32:18 pm »

Seems like he has a guaranteed place on the Fulham team. Third game in a row and his second Championship win (one loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup).

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #941 on:** February 12, 2022, 05:36:30 pm »

Another assist, two on the bounce.

Hazell · « **Reply #942 on:** February 12, 2022, 05:38:42 pm »

Nice. Whether he's here next season or not, that's a fine start

disgraced cake · « **Reply #943 on:** February 12, 2022, 05:56:18 pm »

Fulham was the right sort of place for him to go and impress, the best players in the league around him with a comfortable lead at the top. Think he'll keep his place until the end of the season and do well. Interesting to see what happens in the summer, if Fulham want another loan or try to sign him permanently, because they'll be in the Prem no doubts.

Van Den Berg also doing very well with Preston, another win/clean sheet today. Since he went there last January their defensive record has been very impressive with him in the side.

Also another high quality knee slide celebration, he's certainly got a penchant for them

scatman · « **Reply #945 on:** February 13, 2022, 12:55:50 pm »

theres never been any doubt about his quality, last season was tough for him but whenever he's played for us this season he's been very good so I'm not shocked if he tears up the championship in this run in especially at such a dominant side

HARD AS HELL · « **Reply #946 on:** February 27, 2022, 09:31:05 am »

Cardiff City are my local team, I don't go often but one of my boys loves Neco so I took him down yesterday to see him in the flesh.
I thought he had a really good game. Defensively he was very solid, showing good awareness and positioning. He got forward a lot, linking up well with Wilson, only a couple of wayward crosses out of plenty of decent chances created.
Definitely looked to be a Premier League level defender of the future.
Carvalho looked very classy by the way.

Only seen one so far but a beauty of a goal, chested it up and volleyed in

He's developed well this season. Some good performances from us and seems popular with the Fulham fans. Glad it's working well.

tubby · « **Reply #955 on:** March 8, 2022, 10:11:11 pm »

Great that he's having such an impact on loan. Either comes back full of confidence and ready to fight for his spot, or we get a very decent amount of money for him.

67CherryRed · « **Reply #956 on:** March 8, 2022, 10:21:54 pm »

If we sell him in the summer for £8m and he turns in to a right sided Gareth Bale I'll be mildly miffed. Good to see him doing well though.

Kid's got talent, that's for sure. I would love for us to find room for him somewhere in our setup, but I have no idea where that might be. He's certainly not replacing Trent any time soon.
