Guest CheickMansour Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Looks like his feet work faster than his brain. Still, he put in a good - if flawed - performance. As said above, he's worth persisting with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I'd like to see him run at defenders more. Could become a pretty good player after some time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploppy43 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 He looks like hasn't got a very quick football brain, still decent enough start. Ditto, Keeps stopping when he needs to keep going and off the ball movement seems poor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTastic Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Think I watched a different guy to some on here. He appeared scared of the ball at times and his runs were always the same from the right wing to the left hand corner. It seemed strange that he didnt want to overlap down the right and stayed within 2 yards of anyone making runs down the right. This made it difficult especially for Simpson who made the runs by then had no one to give the ball to. He was the exact player I'd seen for Man U I'm really hoping getting games improves him but he's what I expected so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Weird head. Yeah, my mate texted me with "He's French, Has speed, And a lightbulb for a heed, Obertan, Obertan" the other day, not sure if it'll take off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good, but if "he's black, he's great, he might be 28" couldn't get going for Martins, I don't think it stands a chance Never heard of that. My Habib Beye one had no chance despite its greatness, as it was just far too complex and multi-layered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the exact player I'd seen for Man U I'm really hoping getting games improves him but he's what I expected so far. He's more or less exactly what I thought he would be from the description given by Froggy the Man U fan. I'm never convinced it's a good idea to buy someone without a good football brain and a possibly dodgy temperament, no matter how much ability they've got. Still, he's young and maybe he could develop under the right guidance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 agreed with toontastic. seen quite a bit of man utd reserves and he's not surprised me so far. still a bit pissed off we signed him, should've gone for far better players - hoilett, n'zogbia, barnetta, chung yong etc. he's an experiment. might come off, might not, probably won't know for a year.

The College Dropout Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Reminds me of Kieron Dyer, quick but I'm never convinced he's going to do anything useful at the end of it. However, I suspect he's not a tool like Dyer was, and can actually learn something so I have hope for him like. Calling him Dyer is a big compliment at this stage.

Mick Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Calling him Dyer is a big compliment at this stage. Agreed, he looks to be nowhere near as good as Dyer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Thought he had some bright moments. Offers us pace down the right wing and seems to have more end product than Routledge did. Still aspects of his game for him to improve on but I'm relatively happy with his performance today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was a direct replacement for Routledge I would have no complaints, but it looks like he's replacing Barton as things stand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rey Mysterio Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Don't forget he's used to playing on the left so might take a few games to get used to RM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyP Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 He has a bit of the Jonas-esque refusing to attack...he has the ability and the pace to beat a man but sometimes just refuses to and launches a pass back to Colo or Tiote...Jonas was much better today with this and go his head up a bit more, but Obertan dissapointed again...maybe he is destined to be an impact sub?
