nufcjb Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'm unconvinced he should play from the start. He strikes me as a player who would be better coming on as a sub to give us a different dimension when legs begin to tire and whatever imagination we have is exhausted. But willing to give him the chance to start behind Mitro and Cisse against Norwich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 If De Jong is up to speed now I'd really like to start him somehow, he gives such a different dimension linking the attack and midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled in Texas Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 It was nice to have someone on the pitch, that actually showed for the ball and didn't seem s*** scared. Unless they were totally unmarked or safe in our own half. None of our players seemed to want the ball. It was pathetic. This is why I hate Colback as a player - he doesn't move into positions to be able to accept a pass and do something with it - he just stands there and if the ball is passed forward to him by the defense, then his first reaction is to immediately play it right back to the same player. Pointless. Compare that with the better teams who receive the ball without standing back-to-goal, and who are working to move into position to receive the pass or to receive the next pass from the first guy. We are so static. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I wish he had gotten more time yesterday. He was solid, even won the ball back a few times which I didn't think was possible without him shattering into a million pieces. Think I agree that he should start ahead of Perez at the moment.

TRC Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Not sure we can play Wijnaldum and Perez in the same team, we can't afford to carry two players when they go missing. SDJ has to start behind Mitro or Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Real shame as we have seen what Wijnaldum can offer. Has to get his head straight. Be pretty much uber turd for the past couple of months regardless of being at home or away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Wijnaldum? Somehow won Sky MOTM. I kna. Couldn't believe it. Despite being an inbred I thought Kirchoff was probably MotM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Kirchoff was MOTM by a mile. I'm fairly confident we would've won if he hadn't been playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Kirchoff was MOTM by a mile. I'm fairly confident we would've won if he hadn't been playing. Agree - head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch (particularly first half). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 IMO de Jong has to be on the pitch at the same time as Perez and Wijnaldum. They are the most technical players we have and if Rafa can get a system built around them we could spend the majority of games camped in the opposition half. Pity we don't have a prolific striker.

The College Dropout Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 For some reason they stopped targeting Colback in the second half. Also stopped attackkng too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Hope he starts games now. We've tried almost everything else and nothing's worked. Also he was at the Ajax game today (3:12) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Thought he played reasonably well when he came on. He's actually got a footballing brain and can move the ball quickly. Would be tempted to put him in a midfield three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 He just mustn't have the wind to start football matches since his lung problem. That's all I can think because he's undeniably a good footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
