Novocastrian Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Still got skinned at least once, also I've yet to see much attacking threat from him, crosses were poor today. Looks slow too. Jarvis is quick though I'm sure it was Cole who 'skinned' him near the end of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Jarvis just did a simply shimmy at one point and he'd turned him inside out. Worrying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Much more solid defensively today. Tried to get forward a lot but was largely ignored. When he wasn't, he never received the right ball that would open up the space in front of him (see his goal in preseason). Hopefully this will come with time. Agreed, honestly i thought the entire back 6 was good. Its the front 4 which was f*cking shite until the last 10-15 mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLK Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Like I said before he is good enough for NUFC. We can't attract any better unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Did well enough. Only got done by Jarvis because he was standing square on to prevent Jarvis cutting in onto his stronger foot. When Jarvis opted to go down the line he could only pop the ball up, couldn't cross it with any pace. Wasn't Debuchey's fault the other 3 made a meal of floatied cross travelling at about 12mph.

This He clearly hasn't got everything, least of all pace. But he was intelligent in those 1v1's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Still think he's a bit naive at times, especially considering he's 28 and he should know better than to get caught flat footed or stick a boot in when he should jockey the player onto his weaker foot. Miles better than the Man City game, though you'd expect that given the difference in opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhoywhonder Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Much much better today.....caught standing once but otherwise didnt do much wrong. Second half much more positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Better today but a total liability defending with or without his opponent having the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest icemanblue Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Didn't really do a lot of note. But, one of the funniest things from the game was Morecambe's plan of hoofing it long to the big lad on the left wing, targeting Debuchy. Big lad didn't win a single one.

All their openings in the first 20/30 mins came down the left tbf. That bad tackle actually improved his performance though, was more solid after.

BrettNUFC Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Lucky to escape that tackle without serious injury, could have been nasty, but tbh it's about time someone did make his rolling around involve a bit of pain, his diving is terrible.

Yorkie Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 He was clearly targeted as someone to rile up/get sent off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defence, as a whole, was all over the place during that period, though. Largely down to them being almost complete strangers, I'd guess (or Pardew LOLOLOL). That tackle was shocking, would have been off in a PL game. He got a couple early on, being targeted by them to radge him up, so I'm glad he kept his head.

Kanj Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Totally agree in that he looked targeted to get wound up and get sent off -- I feared it. Pleased he kept his head, battled and fought for everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
