Dave Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 His decision-making is suspect at times. He'll learn, not worried in the slightest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Key moment around the 80 minute mark when we were piling the pressure on, Benfica had a rare attack - he got the ball and tried to take on their player on the edge of his own box, lost it, then ran over and hacked the Benfica player. Took the sting right out of us and killed our momentum, took a solid 5 minutes to recover. Think in terms of the whole game we did okay though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 His decision-making is suspect at times. He'll learn, not worried in the slightest. Aye basically, he has problems of when to dribble and when to pass but as you say he will learn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye basically, he has problems of when to dribble and when to pass but as you say he will learn. Which was one of Colo's problems when he first joined us.

Smal Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I hope we don't coach all the flair out of him though. I love a centre half who can dribble past a couple of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think in terms of the whole game we did okay though Looked like he injured himself doing that....didn't really get above a trot in the last 10 mins and wasn't moving freely at all. Hope he's OK for Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 His passing is atrocious at times, usually his left foot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 His passing ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous, it has to be said. I'm sure it'll all click into place for him on the distribution front, he was very assured on the ball in his first few games here, it's probably a confidence thing.

Flip Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 All about adapting and getting more comfortable. We tend to forget he's only 23. More experience and he will stop doing those concentrations lapses. No doubt he'll be a top top defender for us in 5-6 years time, if we haven't gone down or sold him by then.

Cajun Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Class act who occasionally makes a stupid decision. With age and adaptation to the league I have more concerns about losing him than him not being good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 It'll come with experience. I think he's solid enough and you definitely get the feeling that he will only improve. Both him and Williamson were good, good effort from two lads that have never played together before (I don't think anyways) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 He just came from france, where the play is slower tempowise and the forwards press less then in the EPL. Offcourse it will take some time to get things right in regards of playing in posession. However his defensive play often are very good and will probably be even better with time. Should get a reliable partner for him as Saylor again proves he can't be counted on (allthough I love him to bits). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 He will learn to act slightly quicker for sure, but he will always take some risks because he's a ball player. His YouTube highlights are full of brilliant anticipation and runs out of defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Like Sissoko, started out great, but has faded badly. Still think he'll turn out to be better than Colo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Really not sure on him. Positionally he's everywhere, the back four has no shape at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I think he's been pretty great on the whole, like. Better than our other January signings anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
