How long until

Too many youngsters (might) spoil the broth.

When he ups his work rate abit more

I would say in one of the final EL group games, assuming we have assured qualification and 5th or 6th game is a dead rubber.

When Suarez gets a penalty

I can see Jerome Sinclair getting a start before Adorjan to be honest. I'm not convinced by him. I'm not convinced by Michael Ngoo either.

Ngoo?? I rate the lad, looks clumsy but is the opposite; and he can finish.

Adorjan can only realistically get a game when we're playing a 4231 formation IMO. We generally start off with 433, but BR does switch to 4231 sometimes in the second half of games (I watched the league cup game versus WBA on a horrible stream, but from what I could make out we played at least a large part of the game in a 4231 set up). He might get an opportunity, but I think Sterling and Suso sit more easily within our default formation.

I think Ngoo is worth a go at some stage considering our lack of strikers, but I do share GB's reservations - a lot of the time he makes poor decisions and gets away with it because of his size compared to the average youth team/reserve defender. His strength won't bail him out in the first team.

I misread GB's comment - I do think Ngoo is quite clunky and his dribbling success rate would be decimated if he tried blundering his way through Prem defences like he does in the second string leagues.

If his decision making was tidied up and he accepted that he would have to offload the ball quickly, then I think he could be an interesting option. Could be a decent focal point at the top of a 433 if we need to rest others. There's no chance he'd get away with the dribbles he goes on in the youth leagues, though.
