Have seen him from a young level and when I saw him 12 months ago I was worried he was losing his way. Really hope he can get a run now and build on it.
The next Parker. Hope he's sensible to play for a year or two with us and get some regular games. Really classy player. Love the way he instructs other players on the pitch
A fantastic player,great balance and awareness,tackles strongly and looks the part already. Why not let him lead the midfield going forward(and put Stephens as a defensive cover in front of the back four,his defending and tackling has improved greatly but he's far too slow in delivering a quick pass to a forward who needs the ball early). Cousins has the ability to pick the runners out early,he sees and appreciates so much for such a young player.And he is only going to improve.
Much better than both at that age, prob the best youngster performance I have seen
He's got the makings of a talented player, but I would sat that Bowyer, Parker and Jonjo were better than he was at that age. They set the bar pretty high though...
Saw the lad play centre midfield in a under 21 game back in April and for whatever reason did not look interested. Since the start of this season, maybe the penny has dropped. Last night he looked very confident on the ball, plays with his head up, and good to see a strong big midfielder in there who wants the ball and will put his foot in.

Think he has plenty to offer as a defensive midfielder or further forward in a more box to box role.
Man of the match. Get him signed up ASAP, as he is going to be one hell of a player.

Bowyer was the outstanding midfielder in the entire division in 95/96, scored 14 goals - including a hat trick against a Premiership team.
Cousins has talent but he's nowhere near where Bowyer was - yet.
Has balance, presence and makes it look easy. Really impressed.
