I was resigned to whoever we signed as RWB being a downgrade on Spence.
But so far, the evidence points to us having got an upgrade instead. Was excellent on Sunday, very talented young player.

Yep, much better around player for me. More composed on the ball, better end product and better defender.
Wouldn't for example expect to see Spence clearing that one off the line the other day.
Spence has his pace and is more exciting but I wouldn't swap given the choice.

Bloody brilliant.
Seems better at crossing in-play rather than from free kicks or corners though.
Jimmy's corners were fantastic last year..
Anybody know if Aourar or Dennis are decent with dead balls?

His set pieces will get better because his crosses from open play have been brilliant.
He has great technique, it would not make any sense for him to be bad at set pieces.
But he is much more dangerous with the ball at his feet. He was probably our most dangerous attacker on Sunday, and that's really encouraging after what Spence gave us.

I don't think he's a better defender than Spence, thought Spence was underrated in that department.

I love a defender, me, and this young man looks to have all the tools.
Pace, positioning, likes a tackle, and has a decent cross in him too. And, at his age, he’s only going to get better.

Love him but can we get him off set pieces?

Great player.
Great crosser (from open play).
Worst set piece taker I've seen in many years.
Love him though.

Who do we have that's better? Every single one was garbage today wasn't it?
I get he's only a young lad but so was Jimmy Garner and his were surely better than Neco's and would still presumably be in the PL.
We aren't going to be given a whole gamut of FKs and Corners in this division especially while we're finding our feet and we still have a fair amount of height in the side with Worrall, McKenna, Yates, maybe even Johnson if he's grown a bit as people seem to be saying, and them just going back to the opposition really just leaves us vulnerable on the counter.
Surely Lingard can do better?

Needs to not stop if he's out muscled to the floor. Two games in a row he's sat prone waiting for ref to give a free kick and got neither (rightly). Rules have changed this year to make games better flowing so you're not going to get those decisions Neco. Get up and play on.

To be fair to young Neco I thought both of them were fouls.
But he should play to the whistle and if it's not given get up and carry on with his job.
I'm not even sure how you can get VAR to review something whilst the ball's in play? It's presumably not like tennis where you can just put your hands up and say challenge. Do they need to wait until the ball is out?

Truth is Neco is a much more "traditional" FB/WB than DJed. Hes perhaps not so "dynamite" (as the song goes) going forward carrying the ball but every other aspect of his game is more rounded, water proof and consistent and I'm afraid I completely disagree with some of the comments above suggesting DJed was just as good a defender-he wasn't, period. Neco gets his positioning defensively spot on and whilst hes not a Stuart Pearce tackler, hes pretty effective. I'd hate to have seen Worrall alongside DJed in the 3 games we've had so far with Wozza being so wobbly-Neco has helped him out alot so far.
I'd have a hefty wager that the "goal difference column" this season would have heavily favoured Neco vs DJed...

I love Neco. Have done for a while. Watching him for Wales he's been incredible. Last season at Fulham he was brilliant.
There's a reason Klopp was so disappointed to let him go.
But it's true, his set pieces aren't always on point which is strange because he produces a great delivery almost every time in open play.
Get MGW on them and that solves everything

He is way more of a goal threat than Djed was even in a league above. He's probably had our most shots.
He still looks like he can believe in himself more yet, will get even better with more experience & games. The stuff people are talking about is just his inexperience.

He's a better footballer than Spence. I have always said it. He understands the game more.
He's a wing-back with a central midfielder's brain. Spence brought his own attributes which was mainly his incredible pace on the break. He could rinse almost everyone and was more like a winger at times. Neco has the better footballing brain.

GAFF LAD. "Open your knees and feel the breeze"
That.
You can just imagine, on holiday in Greece, Brennan badgering him every five minutes to sign for NFFC, whilst nearby off the beach, a huge tanker trundles backward and forwards with an enormous „sign for Forest!“ banner dangling over the side, and on the deck, a large, local, bearded Greek gentleman uses a megaphone to continually shout „You know it makes sense, Neco,!“ towards the shore.
