No begrudging him not beating players, but he was lethargic and negative in his overall play. Miscontrolling the ball, hesitant, only ever playing the ball backwards... Basically looked like he couldn't be arsed.

 

Ritchie injected life into the game and into Janmaat. He had no choice but to keep up. It was quite comical at times even, like when he wanted to go over to take a throw in and calm things down a little, Ritchie had already grabbed the ball and chucked it to his feet :lol:

Ritchie tore into him a couple of times. Gave the ball away before their second iirc and was hauled off not long after? Same useless cross every time. Wouldn't be surprised to see Gamez to start in midweek

we had a real problem from the off yesterday in that the right back was looking to attack and get forward but anita wasn't playing wide/can't play wide/was told to play inside so janmaat had nowhere to go

 

left side we had aarons who couldn't get into the game because his left back can't play football, he was then switched for anita which made things worse as aarons didn't appear capable of playing on the right and also looked inside too much (i do wonder if that's tactical)

If Ritchie wasn't fit enough to start I would have preferred to try Anita right back and Janmaat right wing

 

said to my fatha about 15 minutes in rafa should swap them, i still think anita was instructed to play inside personally, he did it with too much regularity the entire game

He floats them in too instead of putting any pace on them. Can float them to the back post when Mitrovic is playing if he's got a run on the defenders but Gayle isn;t going to do anything with floaty crosses

Hopefully not, the bloke can't defend. It's not a coincidence in the slightest we went on an unbeaten run when he got injured to end last season.

 

It's also not a coincidence that we looked so much better tonight without him, as we always do. His inability to defend and kamikaze decision making in terms of forward runs completely imbalances the team.

Not sure Janmaat not playing and the much improved result are definitely linked. Anita didn't fair that much better tonight.

 

Janmaat, if we can get him back to the form of a couple of seasons ago, can be a very good Championship fullback.

He's not a championship defender, he's a full back who goes forward well but defends like it's an afterthought.

He's nowhere near Debuchy

 

Aye, OK. They're both just not that good at defending.

 

Debuchy was much better at both ends imo. He was actually effective going forward unlike Janmaat who is Santon like in that sense.

 

Debuchy wasn't great defensively but he wasn't caught out as often and obviously much better in the air.
