Adam Wharton

[G Somerset Rover]

Fans on social media waxing lyrical about him.

Meh is all I can say. Feel proud of him but still so pissed off that he should have been in our colours til the summer and gone at the right time.

The pass to assist the goal was awesome. He looks so natural in the prem and playing with better players is highlighting his quality . I love watching him. I hope he goes all the way to the top. Makes me proud to see one of our own excel .

I’d say 18 months but he will get their with the right mentality and luck with injuries

Will be difficult to get ahead of TAA (who's arguably the best passer in the world and still can't get into the team...)

Wharton involved In the second goal.  He's so calm in tight spaces

Fans loving him on socials. If he was in a United shirt he’d have his call up already…..cough *Mainoo* cough

Sort of proud, also just hits home that he should be in a Rovers shirt in the prem instead

Palace robbed us and it wasn’t hard since Venkys and Waggot left the door unlocked and the door ajar.

1 win in 9. Today might’ve been his first assist. He’s done well in a struggling team and is a great prospect but the hype is too much currently. He may well get there, especially with the right midfield partner.

Edit: Wharton watch... Great pass for the opener finished well by Mateta - if Wharton meant it. The co-commentator seemed to doubt it. I think it was intended but whether it was a hopeful or a calculated pass, hard to tell. If calculated, it was even more brilliant. Apparently, he had a role in the second Palace goal but not covered in the highlights.

On the downside, he and Hughes were overrun for the City goals. There's no shame in that and potentially a tactical issue as well. However, if I was being very critical, for the second De Bruyne goal, he and Hughes let Rodri go and then Wharton doesn't cover himself in glory when trying to block the strike.

Wharton's standards are dropping he's only third on the player of the match awards

In fairness Mainoo looks a level above most

Love Adam Wharton and think he’ll be in the England Squad by the end of 2024, he’s unique in that position in terms of keeping the ball & playing forward passes. Every inch the Lancashire Pirlo and twice the player of the Yorkshire version who got a move to City.

Needs to keep working on the defensive side of his game though, KDB made him look distinctly average for both his goals.

It's all about if Gareth is a fan of the player or not, not about performance or ability. It's ridiculous.

The strike where a World Class player curled it across the GK into the top corner?

Bollocks,  he should be playing for us in the Premier League. 

As per usual, any chance of that happening was deliberately sabotaged and Wharton sold for absolutely fuck all.

Second De Bruyne goal. Wharton and Hughes lose Rodri for a moment and then Wharton makes a hesitant effort at blocking the De Bruyne shot. I am being very critical and, as I said, it's no shame to be overrun by City's players. However, it's pretty clear that Wharton needs a better organiser and defensive player alongside him, because that is a weaker part of his game.

Wharton looks an absolute natural at Premier League level. His tight control is breathtaking. He twice came away with the ball with three City players on him and not many can do that.

So glad we sold him for less than half of his actual value.

For England it's good we are producing number 6's now. Wharton and mainoo are both naturals in that position also there's alex scott

KDB can do that to most players though.

I'm old enough to have seen him play for Rangers and then Everton

[roverandout]

Wharton best player on the park so far
