Guest firetotheworks Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I dunno why he's getting such a bad rap. I've thought that he was poor at the start of the season, but I think he's been in decent form and wasn't one of the worst players today. Shola, Debuchy, Remy, Gouffran, Cabaye and Ben Arfa were all worse imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Very good close control. Passing is not his strong point. Would use his engine and power in the centre. He shouldn't play in the centre right now unless we are missing one of Cabaye, Tiote or Anita. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 He was OK, certainly not the worst of the bunch. He and Gouffran could do with a rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Moussa make the runs and Cabaye make the passes. Cheick covers and gets rid of it quickly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 He still looked like one of the few who was going to do something and been one of our best players in the last 10-12 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 He's the type of player who as soon as he loses his physical edge, he starts to look a shit player. His main asset is athleticism, when he begins to tire his game goes to pot a bit. Needs a bloody good rest. Gouffran too. As a side we are over reliant on running hard and fast. Like O'Neill's Villa side. Over reliance on athleticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Don't think I've ever seen him head the ball. Ever. You'd think a player his size and strength would be more of an attacking threat for us if he put himself about more in the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Don't think I've ever seen him head the ball. Ever. You'd think a player his size and strength would be more of an attacking threat for us if he put himself about more in the box. He doesn't head the ball often, but when he does he does it in style and without looking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 He's getting on my tits. So strong and powerful, but he's such an average footballer. The pass to Remy he somehow managed to fuck up inside the first five minutes, man, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 He's getting on my tits. So strong and powerful, but he's such an average footballer.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 His crossing from the byline is terrible. Sick of seeing us hit pointless balls into the box like that. I like him though, I just think, like Marveaux, there's a place for him in the squad but it's not as a 90 minute starter every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 He's getting on my tits. So strong and powerful, but he's such an average footballer. The pass to Remy he somehow managed to f*** up inside the first five minutes, man, Wouldn't call him average but yeah, his passing is a bit s**** at times. It is. Saying that, for the last however many games the majority of our attacks have come down the right hand side. Its not all Debuchy, defenders have a hard time dealing with Sissoko due to his pace/power & it pushes them back. Gouffrans providing us with less on the left atm.

TRon Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Just needs to slow down a little, does everything at warp speed I actually like that about him, he moves quickly, our game in general could do with a bit more tempo going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes s do I but when it comes to making the pass he needs to calm slow and find his man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Can't believe this lad is starting over Ben Arfa every week, he's been absolutely shocking for weeks now. Don't see what he offers to us at all at the moment, his final ball is non existent as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 He is an awful footballer in tight spaces, this is why I think he isn't an option in centre midfield for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 His aerial ability is staggeringly bad for such a big lad. What's particularly clever about this though is how often Krul takes goal kicks towards him. Sensible stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
