Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 That assist was gorgeous and from all I've heard he did well by all accounts but to say the criticism of him has been unjust is just wrong in my view, hes been poor virtually all season and his lack of effort has been even more saddening. Lets hope today is the start of something better as hes bound to get a run of games with Diame/Atsu being away, hopefully the player we all thought he would be this season is still in there somewhere.

loki679 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Great movement from Murphy aswell. Drops off his marker then a little burst of acceleration to get between the defenders when he's free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 He had a lot of critics around me yesterday. He was linking up well with Gayle in the first half. Ok so a lot of what he tried didn't come off, but at least he tried to make things happen with a bit of urgency. Would much rather that than watch the likes of Gouffran and Colback plod about with no sense of urgency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day what separates us from the rest of the teams in the championship is going to be the touch of quality. Perez has it in his locker even if he hasn't produced it enough this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Good to see him put a performance in after 18 months of no-shows. With Gayle and Mitro injured, he might get a run up front, which I think is his best position, in rotation with Murphy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 From the highlights i've seen he looked very dangerous. And he got us the win with that bit of vision and ability that we will need in the absence of Gayle. Maybe an option up top, and maybe more effective as a no10 with Murphy up top to aim at. Maybe in the face of the current adversity we will develop a better understanding of our options for plan B. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Have only seen the highlights from yesterday but it was encouraging to see him running at the defence with the ball from deep. Too often this season he's looked to receive the ball with his back to goal where he gets out-muscled from behind. Diame can play like that due to his size; Ayoze can't.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Was he switching position during the game, looked as if he was playing left hand side in highlights. Obviously he can drift in the no10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Much much better on Saturday. Looked far more alert and lively and was running at players again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 He's a strange one, Perez. He's the one player, probably more than anyone else, who I really thought would really benefit from working with Rafa and his coaching staff every day but he's turned out to be the only player in the squad to regress in that time. Apparently he was far better on Saturday and his assist for the winner was top drawer so hopefully he can kick on with the run of games he'll get in Diames absence because he really needs to finish the season strongly.
