Let's have a quick look at his movement, touches and potential going forward based on this.
You can see his little bit of movement away from the defender to give Dembele something to play at. Just opens up that bit of space, adjusts to the ball as it comes through, little touch forward, gives himself half a yard to put it on his right foot and finishes brilliantly, smashing it in.
This one for the Beesley goal, brilliant from Morgan to win the ball, but having recieved the ball, the 1st touch is already with turning in mind, he takes a great touch and the 2nd touch kills any bounce and sets it just in front of him ready to play as he completes his turn. We've seen many times a player with their back to goal just pass it back to someone they can see. But he recieves it well and first thought is to turn and see Beesley, no hesitation, a simple but brilliant curled pass through to him, away from the defender and Beesley does the rest.
It's simple really but still very good, very composed.
One from yesterday is this.
Ball hit into him, he gets into a little pocket of space, takes it under control and spins using his body to shield from their player, advances up the pitch and sets the attack going with the right pass at the right time, which ultimately leads to the 4th goal. Again, it's relatively simple but effective intelligent play where we've seen many times before, it's easy to take a bad touch, go backwards or hesitate, so to highlight what might seem simple but positive things is good.
There's obviously been some more bits that haven't been captured in the short highlights to show.
But he looks an intelligent player who's finding his way back to fitness and form, some promising signs. Could be a big player for us now.

. I too like what I've seen of Joseph. It's early days, but by the end of the season we could be looking back at the Jerry Kyle deal with Swansea as another brilliant bit of business, by the decision makers at the club. We did very well out of the Bowler deal and this one has the potential to be just as productive I reckon...
