LV 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 shite at times.

Dokko Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 He's an awful footballer, but can be effective. Should have been subbed at ht for hba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

What's particularly clever about this though is how often Krul takes goal kicks towards him. Sensible stuff. About 50% of them go nowhere near him tbf. You're right though.

Belfast Mags Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 He's strong as fuck though, somebody was trying to drag him back in the second half and he just burst away like they weren't there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 He should be totally suited for the premiership with his height and strength but he looks like a fish out of the water 90% of the time and you can count on one hand the outstanding games he has. He can't play on the wing, he can't play in midfield and he doesn't score enough to be in a number 10 role. His passing, control, heading and dribbling are poor to terrible on most occasions and he gives the ball away more than any other player in the team. Tin hat on but I think in the summer we should possibly be looking to sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Would love to see a central midfield 3 of Sissoko, Anita and Cabaye, Ben Arfa on the right, Remy on the left with a proper striker linking things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 He's a good player - not understanding all this vitriol Not that hard to understand really. Well I understand that there is the usual litany of moaning 'old cunts' on here - but I'm not sure why it's all being aimed at a decent player. Sure he's ney Messi but he's a really solid performer with (is it?) 5 assists this year. Got to have a scapegoat though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Definitely tries to do it all on his own far too often, can't work out if that's under instruction or that's the type of player he is but it's similar to an aimless punt in the sense it leads to us losing possession more often than not. He's definitely someone you want in your matchday squad though, just not necessarily keeping proper attackers like Ben Arfa out of the side every week.

He's already worth at least 4x that fee but then maybe one day your dream will come true and we'll sell him for 500k and buy Kev Nolan for £5m.
