BrettNUFC Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 What is his "general attitude" like? Well on the pitch it's been fairly poor from what i've seen in a black and white shirt. Doesn't mean to say i don't like him, think it's more his style of play to be that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Nobody is expecting him to set matches alight but displaying a basic level of effort would be nice. Realise we are desperate for some creativity in the team but it shouldn't mean there is a ban on questioning the attitude of our 'flair players'. Wanting to see players mildly interested in playing for the club doesn't equate to spunking over the thought of 11 Cattermoles raging about the pitch. Bimpy, to answer your bizzare Shola questioning, I don't want him in the team any more than I want Marveaux in the team. He may have influenced my username but I'm pretty sure, for example, that WarrenBartonCentrePartin isn't in favour of the the exhumation and signing of our former fullback. Foluwashola, my real gripe with this Marveaux thing is that I don't see how he shows any less interest than Shola, who continues to be praised to the hilt and given 90 mins way too often. I have no doubt that if Marv was given the same opportunities as Shola, he would have a greater impact on our play. No question. Because Shola has no impact whatsoever, and hasn't for a while. This is ultimately what bothers me, and I hate to get so annoyed with Shola because he isn't picking himself, but then the frustration just spills over. I cannot understand Pardew in this instance, because what he is doing isn't fair and doesn't make sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't bizarre, i asked you your opinion on Shola and you never gave it, you now have. That's it really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I'm convinced, we'll just depend on Tiote, Gouffran and Anita to set the goals up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 If his attitude is as bad as some are saying here, it makes you wonder how our much feted scouting system failed to pick this up. Unless of course we just signed him anyway hoping to make some money. Or the manager hasn't managed him very well. Dunno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the dross some people post on here we have nothing to suggest he has an attitude tbh. He doesn't run around like an idiot so he a bad attitude is the height of stupidity tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 ATTITUDE Again, despite his talent and ability, Marveaux could improve loads on this field. In a 4-3-3 system such as Rennes’ and in most modern tactical set-ups (In which full backs are called to play a major attacking role) defensive work is a necessity for the attacking flankers. Not only failing to notice the wing-rushes of his left-back counterpart, Marveaux has often been blamed for failing to accomplish his defensive work, whether it is an initial pressing or returns to cover the flank. As a result, great moments of solitude for the men standing behind him, such a Carlos Bocanegra, often let alone to deal with two or three opponents last season, without a hope to see his team-mate rush to his rescue. Rennes Manager Frederic Antonetti himself admitted that Marveaux’ lack of work was acceptable as long as his attacking input remained as impressive as it was last season. Many coaches could rightfully consider some of Marveaux’ attitudes on the pitch as disrespectful to the team effort. As a graduate of Rennes Academy having gone through the youth teams at the club, Marveaux may well be receiving too much indulgence for his ineffective defensive work. His self-confidence is high, maybe a bit too high, and the wise words of a manager able to make him question himself and his work for the team could be a massive boost to his career. He is able to do the work however, and even started his Ligue 1 career covering for injuries at left back. Little doubt he will give more in that field if a starting eleven position was to be at stake. Whoops. Obviously a total mystery to our lot at the time of course.
