ujpest doza Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 He surprised me today, was very good and I loved his shoulder barge on gardner on the byeline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Think if you're a makeshift FB it's much easier to play in a more conventional back four. Weird wingback role is harder to get right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Much better today. Still not a fullback but there just might be a decent winger in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 alot less pressure today than some sides will allow him but fair play to him for covering in a role he obviously isnt suited to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Got completely done ball watching at one point in the first half. Aside from that, he was decent. Also thought Blob should've come off his line, at the same point, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FustinoSolano Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Did well today but couldn't have had an easier afternoon. Ultimately I don't think playing a few games at full back do him any harm, gives him a bit of insight into both left hand roles. Think he has huge potential but obviously needs to stay fit.

I'm impressed that he's been able to adapt well enough to do the left back role tbh. He's seriously gifted in more attacking positions. If he could only stay fit he's going to be one hell of a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymag Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 How quick is this lad? Couple of times he got caught out of position, but then turned on the turbos to get himself out of trouble. Hopefully he can stay fit, and get a run to build confidence. Obviously a young talent, but we normally ruin those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 We need to tie him down to a contract ASAP imo, once/if he gets over the recurring injury stuff he's going to be a very good player indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shush Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Really hope we don't get funny ideas about him becoming a LB to save on sorting that role out in the future. He shouldn't even be a back up LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Really hope we don't get funny ideas about him becoming a LB to save on sorting that role out in the future. He shouldn't even be a back up LB. Money saving expert will have that down, Ashley will be loving it. When fit and firing he's the best winger at the club by a mile and should be starting ahead of Townsend on the left flank. Sissoko should be moved to the centre too, it still baffles me why McClaren think he's a winger. Pardew-like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's very clumsy with the ball, where in the middle you have to be precise while under pressure. His passing rate is 76% with us, don't think it would be fun watching him miss 1 in 4 passes there. It's a real problem to know with what to do with him other than RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Sissoko also doesn't tackle. He's better in more space on the flanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked semi decent in 2 cameo appearances last year and hasn't played. since Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Considering he isn't a left back, he did pretty well yesterday - but again caused us a few issues with his defending (not necessarily his fault because he simply should not be playing there). Watching him win headers yesterday was pretty amusing, especially one against Anichibe just shows how pathetic West Brom were. Aarons is a player who has been hyped up massively after a handful of good (some excellent) performances, he has shown in a lot of his other games that he has a lot to learn and has a lot of improvement needed. A good option from the bench, still think if we had decent depth he'd benefit from being loaned to the likes of Brighton or Derby for a season to gain experience in a competitive league.

Lush Vlad Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Loves a foul. Doesn't seem as quick as I thought. Did well under the circumstances, albeit against a team that didn't attack. I thought he was going to be a train wreck, like he was at Everton. So I was pleasantly surprised. Fair play to the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yeah seems to have lost a yard of pace since his injuries. Hope he doesn't end up going the same way as Ferguson. His agent must be pulling his hair out considering the deal he could have got post Man City goal compared to now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
