toontownman Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Some great play from him today. Still undecided about where he should be playing though. I think he is built for and needs to be our driving force through the middle, making Nolan-Esq runs into the box. Yet he seems effective sometime drifting wide. I don't think the latter is an issue as long as we always have someone making those kind of runs into the box.. preferably Colo if we can afford to sacrifice him from defence or Cabaye.

Jimburst Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 my man of the match today, think he played excellent. drove the team forward and was good in possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 you just have to excessively raise the frame rate and use the player cam option on Sky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest icemanblue Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Absolute powerhouse. Chris Foy is a fucking gimp. So good to see him winning possession and driving us forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Recoba Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Ben Arfa was the best player on the pitch but this lad was man of the match. What a player. Mych better in midfield than on the wing last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Absolute powerhouse. Chris Foy is a f***ing gimp. So good to see him winning possession and driving us forward. The amount of times i shouted f*ck off ref because he kept giving fouls on Sissoko when he hardly touched the bloke in question was definitely in double digits.

The College Dropout Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Love the powerful runs. His passing is very hit and miss however. Sometimes gives it away so needlessly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 When Gouff and Remy are also in the side we look a really strong and quick side to boot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 He did look loads better with Gouff and Remy on pitch, created loads of space for him to run into. I thought he played well all game tbh, we were awful as a team until the subs though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 His passing can be very average at times BUT that power is phenomenal The way he brushes players off with ease and powers through. Looked even better when Remy and Gouffran were on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Good to see his explosive power seems to be back again. It was always there, but he's a very technical player, you won't get the best of him by playing him on the wing and humping the ball in the air.

The College Dropout Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I disagree with "he's a very technical player". He's capable of a great hollywood ball but likewise he'll give the ball away 5-6 times a match, very sloppily. He's at his best as a flat-track bully and I have no problems with that. If we can score earlier in matches and with Siss at CM,. we'll kill teams on the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can score earlier in matches and with Siss at CM,. we'll kill teams on the counter. Yeah, I agree. His passing is erratic, and because he sees a lot of the ball, there are quite a number of mistakes for anyone to pick on. But his appetite for hard work, his strength and his ability to open situations up will make up for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can score earlier in matches and with Siss at CM,. we'll kill teams on the counter. He gives it away now and then because he attacks with the ball rather than pass it sideways. I know your not a fan of him or Anita but for me those two have been our success story so far this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Missed the second half yesterday but caught the extended highlights on sky, thought he looked strong and forceful, given a few more games I can see him being our driving force. If tiote gets his arse into gear a centre paring of Sissoko and Tiote could work well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need someone alongside Sissoko who can pass the ball forwards, a Sissoko-Tiote partnership would be horrendous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I suppose giving tiote the responsibility to start attacks could be bad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
