Guest neesy111 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Is he going to get any quicker than he is now? Genuine question for those that have seen him play for other sides. Nope, that's a similar pace to what he had in Holland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymc1 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 3 starts and written off. Classic. Hyperbolic wummery. This man is keeping our best player out of the team when we are in a relegation battle and people are calling to continue giving this guy time to get used to the league Aye, let's ensure he's used to it by the time the season ends and it's a clusterfuck. Perez should definitely be picked ahead of him but there's no way I'm going to write SDJ off after a small amount of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Is he going to get any quicker than he is now? Genuine question for those that have seen him play for other sides. Nope, that's a similar pace to what he had in Holland. Despite some nice touches he just looks way too slow for the league, like he always wants miles more time than he's going to get in England.

This is it. He's clearly not rubbish but he's not up to the pace. Much the same way colback gets caught out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 He would be up to the pace in a team that keeps possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Not going to write him off just yet but like has been said when you weigh up what he brings to the team in comparison with Perez it's a no brainer. We can't afford to carry him into form when we're fighting at the wrong end of the table. We need results and we need them now, Perez is our best chance at that if it is to be one or the other.

Disco Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Finds space really impressively but like Dave I fear he might be too slow particularly for a team who play predominately on back foot as we do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Should have scored, tried too hard to place the header instead of just heading it straight. I'd still have him in the team though, but instead of Colback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 like him. He is not fast and that creative...but he will make goals and can see a smart pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Hoping he continues to improve with fitness. He can be useful for us. That said. Fucking horrific miss that should have given us 3 hugely important points. Let's hope those two or three points that would have been gained on relegation teams/villa won't cost us our premiership status come may. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perez & De Jong behind Mitrovic, with Wijnaldum, Sissoko and one of Colback/Anita in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 not the worst player on the pitch today but cost us the game today with that shocking miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 He's had 3 starts in God knows how long, first run of games in what, 18 months potentially? In the first two starts they weren't games where we were battering the opposition and him getting onto things. Today was the first real sniff of a goal (apart from Cisse's bastard head last week), he's had. I'll forgive him for being a bit rusty in those sorts of positions at this stage of this come back. I think he'd benefit from Ayoze & Mitrovic in the same side as him rather than instead of him, and I think the other two would benefit over a full 60-70 minutes from having De Jong's intelligence and vision there with them too.

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 It'd be madness to write him off, he's going to need time to get used to the league, but he doesn't deserve to start the next one after today. He was tidy and linked up decently at times, but we need more urgency there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 There's just no urgency about him, and I'm not sure I see that changing however many chances he is given. Perez is better, so should play instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perez is better, so should play instead. If he had a better midfield 2 behind him I think he'd be more effective. But yes he looks like he's trying to run in a swimming pool at times.
