Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 If a chicken was to somehow given a football shirt, I'd imagine it'd play like Jonas. Run around a bit, stop, pecking the floor (do his pony tail), run some more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Jonas probably covered more miles last season than the rest of our midfield and attack put together. It's not how much ground you cover, it's about what you do with the ball. He can be a decent player at times, but more often than not he's so fucking frustrating. Why he feels the need to go past every man on the pitch before making a pass, I dunno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he thinks he's playing a real life version of pacman, and he needs to go all over the pitch (map) to collect the little white dots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewellander Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Jonas is fun to watch but also very frustrating. His crossing and passing is woefully bad for a winger. It's all well and good to run past the defenders, but you have to get the ball to your strikers or in the net. Jonas can't really do either. I still love him, though. If he could just improve his crossing, he would be a dangerous player at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Another part of the game that bugs me about Jonas, is that for someone with sooooo much pace, he won't run until he has the ball past into his feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Jonas' main attribute is the ability to keep the ball under pressure. That will be pretty vital for us in certain matches this season. Him keeping the ball at his feet for a while and running in circles like a chicken, like some of you always love to remind, allows the rest of the team to move forward and not stay under pressure on our own half.

Kasper Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 And I remember thinking last night that he has been working on his crossing. He put a couple nice balls in the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Jonas will be infuriating against the better teams, but will have some dominating performances against the teams we should be looking to beat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to stop deluding himself he can cross with the left peg. And stop filldling with his hair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Jonas will be infuriating against the better teams, but will have some dominating performances against the teams we should be looking to beat. Yeah, which is why he managed an avalanche of assists in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great main attribute for a winger, that. And regarding the post after the one I just quoted, I thought his crossing was terrible. Granted I think he's better at it than he was but I only remember him slapping one in the box and it dribbled to their centre-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Wonder how much better he'd be if he actually took a second to think about what he was doing. Suppose you could argue he'd lose his 'special' ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I don't see how anyone could ever deny that Jonas is more than good enough for a team of our stature. The fact that he's getting shit for not tearing apart Manchester United is just.. ugh.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he's getting shit for not tearing apart Manchester United is just.. ugh.. Have to agree, he's one of our most dangerous players and one of the only one that actually occupies the opposition when we attack. He also puts a lot of work in tracking back etc (barring the hair arranging incident). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
