Guest icemanblue Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I'm not saying that, but he took time to get into the Villa game as well, I just hope we aren't rushing him back, as soon as he was fit we threw him straight in. He just needs to get set and keep to his basics. Yep. That's exactly what he needs, tips from you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Won't be a popluar comment, especially from me but his crossing is no better than Milners. He gets into quality positions and fair play to him he has managed to get himself there but how many balls into the box today hit the first Sunderland defender? Would definitely rather have him than Milner but he needs to work on his crossing as much/more than Milner did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 He can work on crossing though, his driving stamina and just sheer presence will be massive for us in these last few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 He just doesn't cross the ball. That's not the way he plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Fair enough his crossing needs work but how many times was he the only person looking like running at their defense? Taking on 3 or 4 scum and still coming away with the ball. For me, one we can't afford to let go. Slightly pissed at how he seems to be targetted for shitty fouls. Has had almost twice as many committed against him as anyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Frustrated me to no end today. If we're to use him as our sole channel of attack, he needs to at least deliver one telling final ball, otherwise he might as well be in the center of midfield and we should've kept Insomnia. FFS.

Cajun Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 He just doesn't cross the ball. That's not the way he plays. He struggles to even pass it into someones path though. Fair enough he doesn't have someone with the movement of Owen in the box but it soon got to the point when you could predict exactly what he was going to do everytime he got he ball outwide along their 18 yard box.

Guest sondre Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Love him! Wonderful link with Enrique as well. That's partnership we NEVER would have had with Riise there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 The amount of times he tried to play it short and Shola just looked at the ball instead of coming to it was embarrassing. We get two half decent strikers with movement or a CM that actually supports the attacks then you'll see just how good Jonas can be. Think this 'no final ball, he can't cross etc' is just ridiculous.

LooneyToonArmy Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 He just doesn't cross the ball. That's not the way he plays. it`s not the way latin players play, getting to the by line and swinging in crosses etc like old fashioned wingers. Neat passing on the deck......problem is our passing is atrocious (amongst other things) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when the quality around him improves so will he, its rare our midfield make themselves available, they very much work on the idea of, "I'll wait for it to come to me" If he was at an Arsenal where everyone moves he'd rarely mis place a pass. On another note, how good did Jose and Jonas look as a left side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Love him! Wonderful link with Enrique as well. That's partnership we NEVER would have had with Riise there. Its an un-orthodox one though. Due to his woeful crossing the link up is an essential one, really we need Enrique over lapping more and trying to get balls across. Jonas is doing a great job of sucking the ball and players into the corner then free-ing Enrique up for the cross. Should be in another thread but the very thought of losing Enrique is horrifying.

Guest firetotheworks Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 He crossing was shit today, but Im willing to overlook that because of everything else he had. Heart, skill, intelligence, persistence, strength, endeavor. He could be better, but so could 100% of our team. Jonas is the least of our worries.

stozo Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 If only he could cross, other than that I thought he was our best attacker today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Shame he's suspended against West Brom, he was so inspired today. Loads of running and is so good at taking players on. Would be a lot more dangerous if we were dangerous from set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliemort Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Man what a player he has everything,has to work on the final ball was so poor today but he more than made up for it with his passion hardwork and skill.When Obas back it will help him alot.Movement up top was a bloody disgrace,they were like standing statues.
