Dr Venkman Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'd drop Jonas for Bigi. Jonas needs a kick up the arse. yep im tired of seeing him putting his foot over ball while shielding the opponent from the ball with his body and basically just standing on the spot doing it not moving, Ba was guilty of doing the same thing. if you havent got a team mate to pass to, dribble away from your marker and look for a pass, what they did today was just lazy standing there all macho with their foot over the ball shielding, whilst backing into their marker almost like waiting to get spooned. its fair enough if we were winning and needed to waste some time on the corner flag, dont bloody do it when its 0-0 or 0-1 down ffs. You mean trying to hold the ball up and retain possession until teams mates are available for pass or would you prefer he ran down a dead end and lose the ball in a less macho fashion ? what i mean is look up look around team mates arent that far away, try turning, spinning away from your marker, football is pass and move basic stuff unless you're limited. I think if the option was on he or Ba would do that. Villa were closing us down quickly. ba and jonas were doing it for no particular reason, at times they did it when they could see a team mate to pass to, other times instead of beating their man who was on them they simply stopped dribbling, stood there and did that foot over the ball bullshit, lack of fitness perhaps, the jonas and ba of last season would have kept dribbling. Jonas does it week in week out Retain possession and hold the ball up? It's his default play, stand on the ball and shield it. It's fine sometimes, it doesn't make sense when there's no-one to shield it from, just buys the other team time. Cant say ive ever seen him hold the ball up shielding it from no one. Ill have to watch for it. It doesn't actually happen - so you'd be waiting a while. So you've never seen him receive the ball or run onto a ball that's gone astray and decide to shield it in anticipation of being closed down rather than look to pass or move with it? He does it quite regularly. Far too many smart arses on here nowadays. I'm not slagging him off, I like Jonas but it's a clear feature of his game.
