Festy Ebosele D Udinese b.2002

Unfortunately Udinese find themselves 2-0 down after 12mins.

Taken off at half-time. And Bologna score again a couple of minutes after the break.

[JR89]

Udinese were very wasteful in the first half. Didn't have much involvement bar one or two moments. Switch of formation and replaced him with a striker. Standard for this mid table Serie A game has been poor.

James Abankwah came on in the 86th minute and played 10 minutes, according to Sofascore.

When was the last time two Irish players appeared in Serie A in the same season?

[tetsujin1979]

Never!

Sets a record in the process

Joins Abankwah on the bench for today's home game v Monza

Festy on at 68 minutes, getting more and more first team exposure. Any watch it?

Lovely assist for him on a counter attack, carried it forward and played a lovely weighted through ball as he cut inside.

Progress for him, hopefully he'll be starting regularly going into next season

[tommy_c12000]

Great to see, nice assist. Ehizibue wasn’t in squad? who is starting ahead of him. Let’s see if he can start the last few games

tore his cruciate, won't play again this year

[tommy_c12000]

Finally some good news on the injury front!!

[tetsujin1979]

Ran the length of the pitch for the assist

[SkStu]

Anyone know how he performed in general?

[Eirambler]

I watched about half the game. He looked very comfortable, playing some nice passes on the right side. Only caveat would be that Sampdoria were awful, they'd be the equivalent of a mid-table Championship team at best. The bottom end of Serie A is well below the bottom half of the Premier League these days. So Festy wasn't really tested at all as Udinese looked comfortably the stronger team throughout.

[tetsujin1979]

He's picking up the language

Good on him. Hopefully this season has been about learning and next will be about playing. A great prospect and a timely replacement for Coleman when the time comes.

[Razors left peg]

Thats impressive considering how short a time hes been there, its one thing picking up bits and pieces to get by day to day, its a whole other thing to have the confidence to do a tv interview.
