Get the impression the boss likes that Calafiori/Kayode wingback pairing. And sure enough, it hasn’t taken too long to bear fruit tonight.

Double digit appearances for us tho. Likeable player and a tryer but a bit like Tom Field… everybody wanted him to make it, but he couldn’t quite reach the standard. And I’m sure I remember him playing as a full back for us NLB (L side) not a centre back?

Mancini was in the house apparently. Couldn't have failed to be impressed with how he played against Barcola (again).

No doubt Liverpool were also impressed given their lack of a RB

At one point I couldn’t resist informing Barcola that he cost approximately £100m more than Michael…
Absolute class today. Thinks “how’s he getting out of that?” Hey, Presto! “How’d he get out of that?”

As I’m sure Keith is saying “we go again” and a new streak starts.

Definitely.

I think the freedom that KA gives him to drive from the back and the way that other players cover him is exceptional. A lot of managers would not allow him to do that.

He and Lewis-Potter, it must be part of training that a midfielder drops in and lets them go.

Saw Matthi in the RB position on more than one occasion while MK marauded upfield yesterday.....

Been wanting to throw this out for a little while so interested in everyone’s thoughts.

I love watching Kayode - his style and enthusiasm and energy and crazy diagonal runs through the middle. It’s fantastic to see. But…

I have concerns. Especially bearing in mind at this level, we are talking small margins.

His long throwins seem to have been relatively ineffective this season. He does always look like he has at least one big clanger a game up his sleeve, if not more. Against, mobile attackers, I don’t feel comfortable.

But most importantly, and maybe unfairly, as I’m comparing to the past and KLP at left back today, Im not sure I see him providing that link-up support, those clever little passes, down the right wing in the way that we have enjoyed in the past. I remember plenty of games where our right side was so threatening, and attacks that started with the right back. I can’t help but wonder whether Hickey, given a prolonged spell in the team, might provide that slightly more cultured service while offering the same defensive qualities.

I can see your point, he is exciting and unpredictable but we have always known that as a young player he is prone to mistakes. On balance I think he adds more than he takes away from. I really like Hickey and hope we can find a space for him but for me he does not add the X factor MK does

I hear what you’re saying and it would be lovely to have perfect players who perform with metronomic efficiency but he’s a young kid still learning and developing who promises in time to be a world beater.

Patience and understanding please 🙏 .

Your comment about being a young kid still learning got me wondering... so did some checking on some figures (ok, via AI, so dont shoot me if I'm wrong) and was actually quite surprised.

Firstly, Hickey is only two years older than Kayode (24 v 22). But in terms of actual appearances they're both extremely close: Kayode 65 apps (53 starts) v Hickey 71 apps (47 starts). Not sure what to take from this other than the fact that they're both pretty young still and Hickey probably also needs a decent run to be able to develop into the player we hoped when he signed, and which injuries have hindered.
