He's always going to be poorer in games where we need to dominate and create chances as that is not his game. Hopefully he'll back to his best where we'll need him at the Reebok. Game off might do him some good after a bit of a mare tonight.

His first poor game for us. Hopefully he won't make a habit of it.

 

He was poor v Wigan as well. Very strange as he's been excellent otherwise. He's much more of an asset away from home though where we generally have less possession.

He's been superb bar 2 games. He's bound to have the odd bad game, it's his first season in a new league. Game out on Saturday won't do any harm either.

 

Hughton will freshen it up Saturday I think. Campbell, smith and routledge will all come in IMO.

The early mistake leading to the first goal and the early booking made it hard for him to find his form.  Blackburn seemed to focus on sending a second man to catch him out when he was looking to turn his marker and it worked.  Caught him out a few times where in previous games he's been able to turn and pass easily.

He shouldn't be. If he does his job correctly, he'll see a lot of time and space on the ball allowing him to help push the attack. These types of games should be the easiest for him, actually.

I don't see him as a player who is going to force the issue going forward personally. More of a player who is better at breaking up play and then giving to the superior forward players hence why he shone v Arsenal.

Only a few players in the world have the ability to consistently do this sort of thing successfully. Most of them are at the world's top clubs. It is very nice to see, and helps us to get started again when we win the ball, but his primary objective is to not lose the ball in a dangerous areas. Has to learn when this is acceptable and when he should just clear.

League Cup yellow cards count as well, wtf?!

 

Why wouldn't they? ???

 

Domestic - FA

Europe - UEFA

International - FIFA

Just seems harsh. :lol:

I hope that doesn't knock his confidence at all, in some ways I forgive that mistake considering how fantastic he's been since he joined.

This will be a true test of the man. He's clearly got talent, let's hope this isn't a big blow to him. Saturday off will probably do him good, a nice little break (as long as we don't have to endure Smith). He's new to the club, the league, he's allowed some off days.

 

Or alternatively, anti-virus scan should do the trick.

Hope that classic fans 'murmur' doesn't follow him on the ball for a bit. One of his greatest assets so far is how comfortable he's been on the ball and turned with such ease. If he loses that with his confidence I'd be worried. Looked absolutely gutted after conceding the goal - was a bad mistake no doubt, but is still a zillion times the player of Alan Smith.
