Kidderminster Harriers
2-1: Saturday, 5th FebruaryIt probably didn't help that the defence behind him was rattled and couldn't take the pressure, but Kral struggled wherever he was on the pitch. Looked off the pace, which is not a complete surprise considering how little he's played, but this was a non-league opponent. For those of us who wondered why he hasn't been playing at all, this answered the question. Maybe he needs more time, maybe getting COVID has hurt his progress, but it may well be that he isn't suited to the Premier League and isn't good enough to take the pace of English football.

Watford
4-1: Tuesday, 28th December(Replaced Lanzini, 90) Only on for minutes but did look full of running and tenacious.

Burnley

Dinamo Zagreb
0-1: Thursday, 9th DecemberShades it from Noble as he was doing a lot more of the ugly work whilst also getting up and down a lot more. He clearly isn’t a naturally creative midfielder but he is adding more to his game than being merely just a defensive shield. At that job, he was key to stopping the young defence being overwhelmed.
Chelsea

Manchester City
1-2: Saturday, 27th NovemberDid not play.
Rapid Vienna
2-0: Thursday, 25th November(Replaced Soucek, 65) A more energetic performance from him having been forced out by Covid recently. Looks to be adapting to the style of play in this side.
Liverpool
3-2: Saturday, 6th NovemberDid not play.
Genk
2-2: Thursday, 4th November(Replaced Lanzini, 85) One touch of the ball, one successful pass.
Brentford
1-2: Sunday, 3rd OctoberDid not play.
Manchester United
1-0: Wednesday, 22nd SeptemberMore ambitious on the ball than was expected, but Noble’s presence probably forced him to do more of the legwork. Passing improved but was a touch sloppy, but his defensive contributions were very much needed and showed a promising player who could hold midfield. Five tackles, three interceptions and a couple clearances showed a man getting into the game well. More to come but a good debut.
