Francisco is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
