Malik's performance yesterday was quite good. Hopefully a breakthrough is coming.

Tillman is a smooth operator. Great ball control and vision…

[@nicholasjagneaux]

--> He's nifty with his feet, has a good turn of speed, and is physically imposing. And still young, with a tremendous upside. --> He could have had a couple more assists and another goal. --> However, seeing him here reminds me of his Rangers days: he can dominate the midfield against less talented teams, but can he do it against Feyenoord or FC Twente? He didn't really show up against Celtic in the Old Firm matches.

Needs more experience, gives away the ball too much but got massive potential

[@tonieplacide-oy4xx]

He is giving the Ball away and get the Ball back in most ocasiõns. Tullman and gio both are very good

[@larsporsena9529]

We need someone to make a USA all touches comp for every PSV game ;)

[@thesoccerdude09]

Nice

[@highlightclips4383]

[@Roman-oh7xc]

A lot of potential with this player 🇺🇸

[@gl0bal7474]

he is playing very well

[@tonieplacide-oy4xx]

Tillman. Is the man ❤

[@tonieplacide-oy4xx]

Damn! Tillman had a monster game un this one❤❤❤

[@dirks6550]

Looking good. Let's see if he can do it consistently and against beter opposition, but not a bad start.

[@larsporsena9529]

Where can one find the full highlights?

[@tonieplacide-oy4xx]

I always say when gio isnt available tillman must be our #10

[@jamesnichols5998]

should've had like 5 assists

What happened to the goal keeper on Tillman's goal? He did not even react. It did not look like it was that far from him.

Very green and raw play but shows lots of flashes of talent. Typical of big guys, he looks like he's not yet comfortable with this own body (something he shares with Josh Sargent and Ricardo Pepi). I'd be happier with that if he was 19 than at 21, but he's still got a couple of years to work out his agility issues before we can definitively say it's a limitation. He plays head down too much. He needs to get comfortable enough with the ball to be able to get his eyes up more. Games which he gets a full 90 like this are so valuable because its only by dealing with the speed of play that you develop that. It's very hard to tell anything from play in the Eredivisie since so many of the teams are MLS quality or less, but still it's very good to see this sort of performance anyway. He needs to turn in another 15 or so like this to have any shot of succeeding in the Bundesliga or any other high level.

That's a really good comment about picking his head up. Very few players reach De Bruyne or Modrić levels of scanning, but he's really got to improve that skill.

[@johnjohnson4793]

very green? there's not 1 player in usmnt roster than can pull of that skill move and pass in that assist sequence...

[@celebrim1]

@@johnjohnson4793Leaving aside that you are wrong about that, you are ignoring the actual footage, for example: 0:55, 1:07, 1:34, 2:54, 2:57, 3:04, 3:17. What I'm looking for in a player evaluation is consistency. What can that player be relied on to do? Every Sunday League team has a hero that can pull off that skill move and pass. What I want to see is if they are doing it 1 time in 10 or 9 times in 10, which is the difference between playing rec league and playing at the pro level. What we see here is a lot of flashes of talent but not a lot of refinement. He does things that at a higher level the opposing team would make him pay for that he can get away with at this level because the opposition is poor. There are way too many balls he gives away because he's not looking at the field when he decides to kick the ball. There are too many times when he tries to be cute when he should do something less creative. His judgement is immature. His balance is still a bit awkward. His vision is still limiting his ceiling. This is a good performance for the young man. He does this 12-15 more times in the season and people will be talking about him.
