Guest firetotheworks Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Didn't fully notice until it was on MOTD just then, but yeah, not good. Weird, because before then I would have said that he'd been solid, if unspectacular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm not too sure but I think that he cut inside most of the time he went forward. Him and Santon in the same side should make things interesting for our back four Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 There was an overlap on the first so Janmaat held his position. That said as soon as Silva made his run he should have picked him up because he was a far more tangible threat than whoever was out wide for City. He just switched off. Looks alright all in all.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 He was the least impressive of the new boys for me, but it was a difficult task dealing with the movement and ability of Man City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckard 13 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Doesnt fill me with the same dread as when the ball goes out to Dummett on his own. Could have done better for the first goal but there wasn't a great deal of danger until Colo went mental. Gonna agree with the standard "Debuchy-lite" comments. Look more than good enough for our level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 He should track Silva's run. But the real problem behind the goal was both Williamson and Coloccini being dragged to the ball. Comical childlike defending from the both of them. To be fair, it's not like they've both been at the club several years and could have been coached into forming a reasonable understanding by now. Imagine John Terry not forming an understanding with his fellow CB and the coaching being blamed for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Looks to have settled a lot quicker than Debuchy did - very encouraging signs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Looks to have settled a lot quicker than Debuchy did - very encouraging signs. Debuchy didn't play as good as he has until his first full season. Really encouraging from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Probably already wondering how the fuck he ended up in such a shit side Looks good enough to the point that he'll be gone for profit after 2 seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Quality performance, quality player. Looking forward to watching him more this season. Easily the best player on the pitch today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCDoog Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The amount of times him and Cabella got in good positions on the wing and there was no one to cross it too, so frustrating. Encouraging that he's getting in these sort of positions though, does look like he has genuine class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Our attacking will be coming from either him, Cabella, De Jong basically, this season. He's FAR better on the ball than I thought, and I'd say he looks more creative in the attacking sense than Debuchy. He has a few moves in his locker (Debuchy generally just goes outside and crosses) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always in right positions and a good touch on ball, very promising Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Really liked how his first touch when attacking was to actually take it past his man. It put him into some decent positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 He's a good player and I am not surprised he has settled in so well...he does like to get forward and he is good at it, but he needs better players to cover for him at the back when he goes down the flanks. Our defence was shocking yesterday.. As people have said, Janmaat is the most likely candidate for a summer sale where the club will probably pick up almost 10m if he keeps up a high standard in a poor side.

George Bailey Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 like the look of this lad. no doubt be sold next summer. Anyone see the interview on Skysports? The words 'step' or 'stepping' and 'at this stage' were most definitley prominent. Good signing who clearly has ambitions way above our current level. This is gonna be a feature under this lot so we had just better get used to it. We are a good sized, well supported and well publicised club for players to showcase themselves: end of. oh and a good payday for charlatans who are willing to brown nose....

Yeah absolutely perfect example of the type of player told "come and play for us, put yourself in the shop window and you can get a payday moving to a bigger club while we get our sell on profit". Losing players to bigger more successful clubs will always be an issue but it doesn't have to be firmly set in club policy as it is here. Just look at Everton, they tend to hold onto players and try and build a team whereas we're the complete opposite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It's probably the most effective way of selling the club and that's fucking sad in itself. The club would talk for itself if we had any ambition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
