54 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Who would have thought the captain of the Eredivisie-winning Ajax team a couple of seasons ago could be of any use to us. Carr needs shooting. These two points seem to contradict each other Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Was that some actual leadership on the pitch? I did enjoy the two shots he had where he seemed baffled that he had a chance to shoot and kinda flopped over. Played well though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Thought he did really well today. Much better in the air than I expected as well. Hopefully he carry on starting and get some match fitness and momentum going. I reckon he'd link up well with Perez if Mclaren would play them both together.

Ketsbaia Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 The way forward is to keep playing him. I think McClaren's found his system, something more direct and counter-attacking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Siems much more suited to starting games, rather than coming on as a sub. I was really impressed with his intelligence off the ball, he led some really good pressing and you can see that's something that's been properly coached into him. He was actually talking too, pointing to players where they should be and always communicating. As much as I like Perez, that's just something he can't provide that we really do need (there should still be a place in the starting XI, imo). On the ball, he was decent, tried to keep play moving quickly with good touches but sometimes ahead of his teammates. Some nice movement too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 He's an intelligent player, love how even when he heads the ball he looks to pick out a team mate rather than just bounce it up anywhere. Pleased for him, he looks like a trier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 He looks good when he gets on the ball but in a counter attacking team like ours, I don't feel he's effective enough. How do we play like his Ajax team did and control the ball and attack with ease? He needs touches much closer to the opposition box than he's getting right now. It'd help if one of the two central midfielders offered something in attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 He should be there in the team as we could see players listening to his orders and organisation. He's the type of guy I would have in the team to pick up the scraps in and around the box, someone that we don't have other than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Sorry I thought it was FOTM to blame Carr for any new signing not hitting the ground running like Michu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Sadly he will now twist or pull something after the strains of being available for a couple of games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Needs to keep starting for his talking alone. His fitness will improve (providing no more injuries obviously). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gomez Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I think he did really well. It seemed to work having more of a static focal point for the midfield, rather than Perez making runs off the striker. Gave us an extra body in midfield, and did alright getting forward considering he only has half a lung and one knee. Together with the extra(live on Sky #supersunday) effort, the change in shape with him playing seemed the biggest change. Definitely a positive, as I hadn't been too impressed with him util now.

He is basically the Dutch Nolan on that description Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I thought he was excellent today. Not just on the ball but more so for his organising and shouting, telling other players what to do etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONTEMPI Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 need to try and get him and ayoze in the team somehow. Easy. Drop the ginger. Ayoze Sissoko Anita Winny De Jong Cisse\Mitro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Today of all days showed there's more to football than lineups /formations. They all worked today and every single one has earned the right to start next week. If their application drops then bench them the next week. We need to start ingraining the importance of a high effort level pressing mentality more than anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckard 13 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Much rather De Jong through the centre than Perez atm. Ayoze has looked far to light weight lately. Needs a wide berth on recent form as far as I'm concerned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
