wormy Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Haven't seen the match thread yet but I would guess he's getting slated for the own goal, even though he was the only one willing and able to get back there to even try and prevent a certain goal so he gets a pass from me for it. His decision-making was typically shite though, like the rest of his teammates. Not read the match thread either but I'd expect/hope our fans aren't that bad that he's getting ripped for that own goal. Stuck his foot in, luck of the draw. Much more worrying things at hand than a player busting his arse to get back and cover a teammate's opponent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I disagree with some of the above comments like, I thought Perez looked really good when he came on, looked like he had genuine quality with some of his touches and flicks to find his teammates and worked very hard. Actually looked good on the left where Pardew used to play him quite a bit iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I thought his presence made our shape and numbers better when we were going forward and he was more sprightly than usual, which was a good start, but he didn't really feature in the way you'd want an impact sub to. I don't blame him for the own goal, he did the right thing and was just unlucky attempting a last ditch tackle - something that shouldn't need to be part of his game.

Dave Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The only annoying thing upon watching it again is that he failed to track Okazaki in the first place; if he'd done so then he might have been able to do more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Aye, thought he was decent like. Was taking on and going past players during breaks on a couple of occasions. Haven't seen any of the game back and don't intend to, but it didn't look like to me he can be blamed for the own goal, he had to at least try and get a foot to it due to Clark's lack of awareness and leaving of Okazaki, unluckily it went in off his attempted block.

NEEJ Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Harsh as fuck to blame him for the goal. It was the disastrous defenders that caused that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a striker Dave. I'd be more bothered why he ended up making a last ditch tackle in his own penalty area after running the length of the pitch in the first place.

LRD Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 His pressing in an advanced position seems more integral to the team shape despite his poor on-ball contributions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 He was lively when he came on, and cannot be blamed for their winner. He’s still shit though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samag Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Harsh as f*** to blame him for the goal. It was the disastrous defenders that caused that. stood at watched the lad run passed him then waited till he was a few yards infront of him before trying to run back . Sorry he was very much to blame . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry he was very much to blame . Where were our CM's at this point? It should not be left to number ten to run back into the box to make challenges. Can't believe he's getting blamed for it Watch the thrid goal again cannot believe people are defending him over it . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I'll have a look but the fact that a ten is making that challenge and a CM is nowhere to be seen can not be put on him. He may have let him go, but he shouldn't be the one tasked with tracking him in the first place. We were on the attack and he correctly held back to fill in, he then failed to do what he needed to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he should have gone missing like the rest of the midfield and defence, that way he could have avoided any blame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 also if we are attacking why on earth would a player in the Ten be filling in? That's the job of one of the two CM's we have. You're never going to leave a player like Perez ostensibly as a holding midfielder. Its ridiculous. He was playing on the left when he came on wasn’t he? I’ve got a shite view, so might be wrong.

He was playing on the left when he came on wasn’t he? I’ve got a s**** view, so might be wrong. He done his best work from the left when he came on, whether he was sent on to play there or not I'm not sure. What I do know is, in his time here so far he's played some of his best football on the left under Pardew & I think at times McClaren too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Wonder if the lad that runs his twitter account could put in a better shift on the pitch. Seems quite competent off it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Needs replacing. Never get excited about him being on the ball or playing, as he's pretty much nailed on for failing to deliver anything important. Likeable lad, just need someone more dangerous and menacing in the final third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 TBH like I find it hard to give players like Perez stick. He came here as a kid for next to nowt and if he isn't good enough then it's not really his fault. Pay peanuts get monkeys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Think we look more solid and with more shape when he plays but he has very little quality in his attacking play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
