Deuce Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 He looks bright and quick, but he's going to be a compliment to Tiote rather than a direct replacement. Tiote gives us the strength and bone crunching power that only certain players can. Would have liked to see both of them alongside Cabaye and maybe one less striker to dominate the middle but no complaints, we won. This. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Looked tidy and as has already been said has a very good turn of pace. Got high hopes for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of him more as the guthrie replacement or rather the guthrie "upgrade" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. we couldn't have played jonas, cabs, tiote and anita all in central midfield. if we're defending a lead against spurs, the best midfield to do that is jonas, tiote and anita. moving jonas to the wing would have made our centre more vulnerable imo.

I don't really see how the centre could be vulnerable with Tiote Anita and Cabaye in there, none of them are shrinking violets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolution Number 9 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I liked him. Not sure if he was surprisingly quick or just seemed that way because every bugger else was knackered, but from first impressions he looks like another mobile midfielder with a canny touch, he should fit right in.

Dave Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 After a nervous first touch or two, I thought he looked very bright. Quick in thought and quick in movement as well, defended well and made a couple of excellent touches. Promising debut. Spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Looked average, but that's fine, I doubt he's gonna be a player that comes on and changes the game, he'll be playing his part throughout. Glad to see him, glad to have him here and glad his first app is a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see him, glad to have him here and glad his first app is a win. serious ? apart from that very early touch that was 4ft too strong and dropped us in it he looked very very tidy with an eye for getting forward aswell.

TherealnorthernTOON Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Just didn't seem like he found his spot in that midfield tbf. really think he has to get a few games and weeks just to gel in and show what he can do from that DM position. We also moved Tiote up to become that offensive ballwinner with some penetration through will power. Seemed to work somewhat but in all think the team was quite off when it came to offensive play. The only one who did manage to make us play was Ben Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 f*** me, he's quick This, some pace on the fella. It was the couple of tame one-twos he did with Tiote (?) before he just turned and shot off down the wing with the ball. The last thing I was expecting him to do.

Jayson Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Great game to give him confidence about our club also, beating the side who finished 4th last season. Really didnt expect his pace as people have mentioned, nearly did walker on the wing at one point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
