Mole_Toonfan Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 He can't because he relies on space and not every team gives it to him. Just the way it is and with him you have to accept that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Days like today is why he's so frustrating. He's clearly a good player, but he goes on horrific spells far too often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 The good the bad and the ugly today. He was superb going forward, but awful at the other end, especially the first half. He improved massively in that respect in the second half to be fair. That said, when he has space and time he can do damage. Close him down or harass him, however, and he can look every inch a clueless player. He's very much a mood player. When in the mood unstoppable, when not, awful. There is no consistency with him and that's why he is at NUFC. Never a top tier CL player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Agree with that but today is probably not the day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Poor defensively definitely but he made up for it. I hope he plays like that against the scum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 he made at least 5 of the goals happened, but to say he needs to be on the counter is wrong, we weren't countering for the opener, we just had so many players who were dangerous that he was allowed a little space. he gets crowded out when it used be just him who could cause problems Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Janmaat didn't exactly cover himself in glory defensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 The cross for gini's 2nd was a delight. Didn't think he had that in him. People are too busy talking about him running into blind alleys to notice, but he usually delivers a really good cross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Poor for their first goal, but one of his best performances imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 7/10 cost us 2, created 4 Bit harsh to say he cost us two, he was tracking one Norwich player and dragged into the centre for the 2nd..no way would he have got to the Norwich player crossing the ball in. Still, should have tried but Wijn is more to blame for the 2nd goal. Played a part in 5 goals, yet only a 7/10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Weirdly I didn't think it was too different to how he always plays. Just a couple more things came off today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 He was very very good today i must say. At the same time this game was perfectly suited to him as we hit on the counter, and Norwich were very naive as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Weirdly I didn't think it was too different to how he always plays. Just a couple more things came off today. Yip. On another day Perez doesn't get the second bite at the cherry and the flag goes up when he's pffside for Gini's header and for all he's done exactly the same, it doesn't look like nearly as good a performance. It's a stat thing "had a hand in 5 goals". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Excellent going forwards today, but his lack of effort on the first goal was fucking criminal; completely gives up. Agree with the above comment that he was only slightly better than usual and Norwich were just laughably bad at the back, like. How on earth Alex Neil hasn't lost an away game with them before today or whatever that stat was beggars belief. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Weirdly I didn't think it was too different to how he always plays. Just a couple more things came off today. His final ball was perfect almost every time, that's all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I'm saying that because I rate him, though guess you could read it the other way. He'll always burst forward and create those situations, now he had three players capable of helping make them into goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot was made of that on the TV but I genuinely don't think he'd have caught Olsson anyway. He was already beaten. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone saying he had a much better game than normal is spot-on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
