Elliottman Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Thought he had a poor 35-40 minutes, but grew into the game. Great bit of tracking back near the end when they countered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I didn't think he looked much cop first half but he improved very quickly, good showing overall. One of his touches out on our left side in the first half was like Carlton Palmer, it went about six feet away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 There was a point in the game where he tracked back 60 yards or so, won the ball off his man, clipped the ball past his man and ran around him onto the ball, only to then advance another 40 or so yards forwards. All in the space of a few seconds and he didn't even catch his breath once. If he/we can improve his first touch and passing which lets him down at times, he can be a real force. He is no right winger, but he is making it work down the right with his power, pace, work-rate and positive attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 The man mugged & trolled RVP for his shirt, took it without giving him his own shirt but also used it as a cloth to clean the chalk dust of his head! LEGEND Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I said he was horrible as a AM and he was. I've said he's been a threat out wide since moving there and he's helped us look a much more solid unit. I don't hold vendettas. If you play well I'll praise, play poorly I'll criticise. The only player I consistenly criticise is Cisse and he's been consistently shit. He'll probably prove you wrong as well. That's the problem with being short sighted, not only do you look like a mug over time, but you convince yourself you were right all along. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, that was a great example of what he can do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 He's got a great engine and when he picks his runs properly, he causes defenders real problems because of his strength. Needs to get on top of his first touch and also play the simple pass so he can use his strength and skills to run for the return. A real asset when on his game.

Tiresias Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Love a player with power and pace, he's won me over out wide from me being skeptical, much better than in that no 10 position, though central midfield is still probably his ideal home Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Couldn't stand him on the left tbh much better when he moved over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 His first touch and passing are shocking at times. He is fantastic when running from deep and just being a nuisance. Would like to see him back centre again eventually. Still appears a snip for what we paid for him. He is such a threat when he get's going and I want to see him use his pace and power through the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubblyDubblyDubbly Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 He's nowhere near atm but his game reminds me so much of Yaya. He's a good player... he has all the attributes to be a great player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 He doesn't half whip in a mean cross either for someone who isn't meant to be a natural wide player. It's strange after seasons of having noone who can do a good cross having Sissoko and Debuchy on the right both able to whip in crosses, still noone to convert most the time, but progress Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His strongest assets are physical/athletic. Which is more pronounced with space to run into (wide/CM) not at AM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly showed touches of class going forward even in an AM role but you were hell bent on focusing on his perceived weaknesses. Now we are evolving into a passing team it suits his game far more.
