Tiresias Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Interestingly my mate who's never rated him and I've argued with him loads over, thought he was really good today, and said he'd changed his mind on him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 He was our best player in the reverse leg and looked really good in the absence of Cabaye earlier in the season tbf. Not sure why he's now supposedly a passenger? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hasn't had a kick in seemingly ages tbf to the lad. Playing infrequently won't help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 He looks good when we pass, pass, pass through the middle. Today we looked only to belt long passes in Cisse's general direction. Not his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 One thing that's become worrying is that he seems to let players glide past him unchallenged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 He's pish to be quite honest. Rarely involves himself in any passages of play, can't see him being at St James' in 2 years time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 There was several occasions tonight where he was in a lot of space and the pass to him was refused. Beyond that I don't remember him contributing anything except nearly breaking that lad's leg and looking exhausted after 20 minutes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 My Dutch Feyenoord supporting mate (might have something to do with it) doesn't rate him at all, saw him at Ajax plenty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Anyone who is saying he's not good enough can fuck off. He's an excellent little player and he should be in the team ahead of Tiote at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Anyone who is saying he's not good enough can f*** off.

Jack Flash Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 He's pish to be quite honest. Rarely involves himself in any passages of play, can't see him being at St James' in 2 years time. Because he'll have chosen to leave. He has practically wasted a year of his career being here so far through no fault of his own, other than lack of research before he signed.

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Think he struggled for similar reasons Cabaye struggled, the midfield 3 was a bit weird no one seemed to know what exactly to do only when Jonas came on it seemed to have a bit of balance. He's obviously a good player who obviously hasn't been used properly during his time here that's about all there is to it tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I thought one of our best players today. I'm surprised sometimes if people watch the same games I do... however, in some cases, it might just be the difference between what people expect from a certain players, which in turn leads to how they view football itself.

Not judging or anything Can't remember him doing almost anything good today. Invisible in the first half, could've seen a red card and got subbed. He was rusty today as was expected and I fully believe he'll come good (again). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Chibas Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 can't see him being at St James' in 2 years time. Generous assessment, with a WC looming just around the corner. He's not going to put himself in the Dutch selection frame (by establishing a run-of-form - getting rid of the ringrust first) when used as a bit-part player. Wasted year careerwise, as Jack F says, for a very promising little footballer, at the back-end of a WC preparation. Probably would have been starting at Ajax, and pushing ahead for a spot in the Dutch squad, that's what he'll be reflecting on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not judging or anything He was rusty today as was expected and I fully believe he'll come good (again). Re: the second half of that sentence. Do you really? He was in a groove earlier in the season, and put his hand-up despite shocking team-form, with more established players (and the manager too) crumbling around him. Difficult to see him coming good (again) while continued to be played in fits&bursts. In training not alot of priority & time are afforded to working on our attack (which i assume would be our transition play through the middle 1/3, which is Anita's bread & butter/greatest strength). as a bit-part player warming the bench mostly, he like a player riddled with ringrust. Not the greatest recipe for success, given his Ajax football schooling in pass&move football, especially for a guy who was getting plenty of minutes in that p&m system as Ajax were priming & grooming him as part of a new-gen midfield.

James Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 He is there, he is helping out and putting a good shift in but he just doesn't impose himself on the game and have any real influence good or bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Poor game last night, but I like him a lot. Nasty tackle as well. I'd start him over Tiote at home against the weaker sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AY Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 If Cabs is out for the weekend game hopefully he gets the chance in the midfield 3 with Sissoko and Tiote. No need for Jonas there.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
