I think there's a player there, especially if he's given regular game time. Yesterday in the midfield, thought he played really well, albeit that he still has a wayward pass in him.
However, about 69 mins in, he played a ball forward to the rampaging Mbengue that was Wilkinsesque. Utterly sublime, perfect pace and placement between two of their players, that Mbengue didn't have to break stride.
I think he's only 19 and next season, a good loan would see that kid blossom. Playing all over the place in fits and starts is not what he needs, playing regularly in midfield will.

There was one pass all along the floor which must have been 40 yards, again a perfect pace splitting their left side which I think was for Smyth. Agree, I think he remains an outstanding prospect and certainly good cover for Madsen. Happy to put himself about a bit as well. |  |

There's definitely a good player in there. Needs better than Varane or Hayden alongside him. | | | |

I agree, but I don't think he needs to go out on loan. Morgan is good enough for this league and certainly can be included in the match day squad - 1st 11 or as a sub depending on which players are available. | | | |

Everything positive from the middle came through him. Continually takes the ball with his left on the half turn and plays a pass with his right, and does it with ease. An abundance of energy, too. He just needs to not force it sometimes, but I think with his recent run he’s settling more and starting to do that less. He went from a player starting or always getting some game time every week last season to not making the bench this, so it’s understandable he’s keen to impress when he gets a window. He’s already had to deal with failure once…but he’s a great player and I’m glad Stephan is starting to be impressed by him and knows where to play him. His touchline instructions when putting him on against boro were essentially drop in and give the defenders an angle to get it to you. He did that then and he was great at it throughout the first half yesterday. And that ball you talk of with the outside of his boot with backspin so that it held up for mbengue was what I pay money to watch football for as much, if not more than winning, knowing the limitations of the team I chose to support. Absolutely sublime | | | |

JS should have played him more this season and in Midfeild not RB,I feel JS is hell bent on playing Varane,god knows why | | | |

I'm with the majority here in as much as I think he's definitely got the chops for this league. My only concern over him is actually nothing to do with him really: it's whether he gets picked in a midfield two alongside Madsen.
Marti didn't get the best out of Madsen, which was a shame, but this led to Morgan being selected instead, with extremely positive results. Since Julien has come onboard, we've seen what all the fuss is about regarding Madsen but it has come at the cost of Morgan's game-time.
So, realistically speaking, is Morgan going to be getting the time we'd hope? I genuinely believe he brings a positive energy to the team (as has Madsen this season) but is it an 'either-or' situation with these two? In an ideal world, I'd love to see both but that would probably mean a switch to 4231 rather than our current 442. As Nico is probably not going to feature much for the rest of the season, this is a moot point. So, with that in mind and with our current points situation, giving Morgan the shirt for the next 8 games seems like a low-risk, no-brainer.
Nice problem to have, in some ways; bit of a pisser in others. |  |

I think Morgan's 1st 3 passes all went to an opponent, then he was caught the wrong side of an attacker and gave away a free kick in a dangerous position, all in the 1st 5 minutes. Then he seemed to disappear. Did get a bit better later on and made that one good pass. Not that impressed with him to be honest.
Thought Vale who probably had his best game yet for us, Edwards who probably had his best game since his return in his best position, and Smyth who never gave up on that run and shot that won the corner we got our 3rd goal from, were our best players. Dunne, RND and Mbengue did ok. | | | |

Morgan did okay, as Hayden was poor, even apart from the goal, Hayden was well off the pace. Probably getting tired now.
Vale looks decent against rubbish oppo, I want to see that from him against someone like Boro. But he's young, and there is plenty of time. |  |

Very much as I saw it yesterday. | | | |

He has potential, but currently plays in the position of our best player. Now Madsen is injured he should be playing in there in madsen's role, not as 10 or a right back.
I do think he has a long way to go, but now we are safe it's the eprfect time to give him a run |  |

Always a treat to watch players with great technique, even if they aren’t the strongest or fastest. Langley was like that too, all the spins and fades, but also dead straight without any movement of the ball patterning, if that’s what he wanted. It’s part of why you pay to watch, to see things you’d never be able to do yourself. |  | | |

Really like his passing and intent. He’s got lovely crisp distribution and positivity. Good vision.
Also has a really good strike on him.
For 19 years old he can be some player at this level.
However he has two huge areas that need to improve.
- Physicality. He needs to get much stronger and understand nasty side of the game.
- Keeping possession and protecting the ball. He needs to learn how to keep it simple when he has to, make sure he doesn’t give it away cheaply, and also use his body and strength to shield the ball.
Improve those two areas and he’s an excellent heir to Madsen who will be cashed in this summer I’m sure. |  |

To slight, physically, to start in CM regularly. Reminds me a bit of Willock when he first joined, but then came back the following two summers and had bulked up significantly.
As others have said, for a CM, his passing is wayward (like Hayden, Varane, and Field), and that needs to improve. Could play next to Madsen in the future, but Morgan would have to be box to box, and he can't physically do that, yet. | |

What I've learned from this thread so far is that Morgan's passing is brilliant/positive/creative and awful/wasteful/wayward. |  | | |

And that's one player in one game!
Amazing how everyone sees the game differently. | |

Felt like he struggled a lot in the first half. As much as their goal was dire from Walsh the midfield just let him jog through and he seemed to give the ball away a lot. Thought he’d maybe be taken off.
Much better second half with and without it. He’ll only get better (even at QPR that is likely) and he’s a good option at full-back when and only when we’re chasing a game late on. Needs to beef up a bit over the summer and I think he’s got enough about him to oust both Hayden and Varane (and Field if still relevant). | | | |

I wasn't overly impressed with him yesterday. For someone who had so much energy and could run for days when he broke into the side last season, I thought he looked very heavy legged and tired quickly. Few times, Leicester players just skipped passed him. He has a tendency to take to long to on the ball and get caught out. I do believe though, that in time he could be a good player. You are it in glimpses | | | |

Definite potential there but to play regularly in central midfield he has to improve his physicality. A summer in the gym could stand him in good stead for next season. |  | | |

Just like the team in general. Inconsistent. Some good passing interspersed with giving the ball away. |  |

Totally agree.maybe once or twice a game he does a pass where I think..Wow.
problem is we need a holloway type midfielder close space not another Madsen.
Maybe he can do both.
Exciting player who raises my hopes whenever he plays.Slowly but surely..... | | | |
