mrmojorisin75 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I think he's doing the job Rafa is asking of him, seems more focused on winning the ball back and putting pressure on than being a more creative and attacking number 10 and is doing a good job of that. If youre playing a number 10 like that, you need a striker who is going to put it away more often than not tho. It does allow Merino to get forward more Aye, at the moment Ritchie, Atsu and Lascelles are carrying the goal threat but that will dry up for sure. We're going to need one of the strikers or Ayoze to start contributing asap imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morla84 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 To be fair to him he finished his chance very well yesterday, just a shame he'd ended up just offside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Convinced he was put on this planet with the sole intention of giving me a frustration induced hernia tbh. He absolutely does my head in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 He's working hard and finding space well, but rendering it utterly useless with rancid use of the ball. Mind-numbingly frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I've found him fine recently but today was one of his days where he delayed every decision and it really wasn't good - it just slowed us down. He and Hayden should've been off after 60 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 He does things that look really hard to do, such as controlling a difficult ball or creating a yard of space, look easy but then the easy things such as releasing the ball he struggles with. Really frustrating Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Yep. Thought he was well off the pace today, so many misplaced balls. Yet so much industry and, for the most part, intelligence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Careless with his passing, especially away from home where he needs to hold it and keep us in possession. So hit and miss this kid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Should give Murphy a go in the 10 position. He can't be worse than Ayoze is at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 We don't have anyone else capable of playing number 10 like. All of the suggestions are way off like, but that probably comes from us not having anyone near enough. Really wish we'd got Loftus-Cheek. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 He's lived long enough to become the villain. Or stayed long enough to become the Gouffran. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I thought he was alright today, worked hard for sure. He’s not a top PL number ten of course, but we don’t have anyone who is. And I think he’s doing the job Rafa wants quite well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I never think he's going to score or create something. That's damning for an attacking player imo. Can do some tidy stuff but is he going to get 8-10 goals? I don't see it currently. Don't think we have anyone better as well.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I've always had patience with Perez on the basis that 'one day he'll come good' but, it's been like that for 3 years now like. I just dont get him at all, he has an amazing touch at times but he doesn't really seem to offer anything. I have no confidence in him scoring or assisting on a regular basis, he plays well at times but not frequently enough nor does he offer a real threat.

HaydnNUFC Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 He's so frustrating, like. For 10-15 minutes he'll give the ball away, make the wrong decision et al, but then for the next 5 minutes he'll do everything right. Just what the fuck. We needed a #10 in the window, was blatant. Fanks, Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 It's going to be a long hard season when your striker and number 10 don't appear to be capable of chipping in with many goals. I like both Perez and Joselu for what they offer the team but the summer just gone should have resulted in us having better options in both positions.
