Guest neesy111 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Ritchie screamed at him after the first chance which clearly had an effect like. Not the best trait for a player to have like, completely folding whenever he's shouted at. He's got no bottle imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Neesy pack it in man. You say the same thing about him every game. He's struggling in this league, no question, but he battled for the ball tonight, he just did nothing with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Tbf to him the Ritchie pass wasn't as cut and dry as people are making out. I saw the replay and the defender was pretty damn close to Ritchie so the pass would have had to have been played at pace and precise. I thought this too. Would like to see a replay of it The pass was only really on if he played it first time/without taking a touch, which tbf would have been easy to fuck-up (especially given the horror show which was his next attempt). By the time he had taken a touch, the defender charging back would have most likely intercepted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because I'm right and your wrong, plenty of others have called him out over his none performances over the last 18 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 That's fine and he's admittedly been poor in that period. Questioning his 'bottle' is pretty fucking lazy and tiresome, though. His balance and decision making on the ball hold him back far more than anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Ayoze's finishing cost us the game today. Messed 3-4 good chances up for us either via missed shot or poor assist Bit like Mitrovic vs Oxford. Mitrovic got annihilated on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 This was a disgraceful performance, i don't understand how we go down a division and he becomes worse. Because it's not that simple? He's less suited to this division's style, and he doesn't have the mentality to match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I thought he was one of our best players last night, certainly looked the most dangerous until absolutely woeful decision-making and even worse execution let him and the team down massively. He looks vaguely promising whenever he's actually up for it; hassles and harries defenders and tries to force chances. But fucking hell, you just can't have any faith in him. Agree that Diame should come back in and, hopefully to God, Gayle too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that Diame should come back in and, hopefully to God, Gayle too. i thought it was a mistake to take him off, despite making loads of bad decisions he was constantly involved and getting in good positions - it might have paid off in the end letting him hammer away at it and it was always going to be tricky for diame to get involved so late Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that Diame should come back in and, hopefully to God, Gayle too. That's pretty much how I saw it as well. He's one of the few that's willing to have to ball to feet in difficult positions too but we simply can't miss those chances and get promoted. I still think he'll come good if he can up his confidence. The remainder of this season could be make or break for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best trait for a player to have like, completely folding whenever he's shouted at. He's got no bottle imo. didn't the commentators say he tried to go and have a go back at ritchie but gouffram took him aside and calmed him down? perhaps it bothered him but not sure bottle is was the issue....ritchie was arguably out of order imo, after all he's a senior squad member who probably shouldn't be kicking off like that with younger ones regardless of his frustration Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samag Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Awful last night again. Needs to be put in the under 21 team for a few weeks. Hopefully he regain his form and become a key player in the last ten games or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 He wastes possession needlessly and his decision making and awareness is woeful. It matters not one iota if he's willing to take the ball if 9 times out of 10 he's going to not doing something worthwhile. They say that Messi supposedly loses the ball more than any other player in La Liga. Yeah, but when he doesn't he either scores, assists or lays on a key pass. Ayoze offers very little on the ball. When we have a player like Shelvey, who's so good at picking out a pass, we're crying out to sit deep and play the counter with pacey players. We could have ripped QPR apart last night because they were willing to play so high up the pitch, but we just had no pace to exploit it. Holloway set up QPR really well last night and we had no answer to their high line with no pacey players to get in behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I'm obviously in a tiny minority but I thought he was okay tonight. Made too many bad decisions and yeah probably cost us two points but was always involved and made things happen, often through his own hard work (which people won't want to acknowledge). That said, I'd play Diame and Gayle ASAP. At least he got into those positions in the first place is what I think. He should have squared the 1st one and got dogs abuse off Ritchie which I think then preyed on his mind for the 2nd one where a shot was the better option. Looked proper dejected and bereft of confidence when he was hooked and there were some morons in the crowd booing him and cheering the decision to hook him which won't have helped his confidence at all.

John P Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Ayoze seems to have lost a lot of his agility that he had when he first joined. He often looks slow and cumbersome in possession now and very indecisive, so different to his first season when everything he did was done quickly. From my memory he often did quick little one touch turns to shift the ball, haven't seen him do that for ages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 tbh, the guile and agility seemed to be returning yesterday - it was the horrendous finishing/decision making that was his downfall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
