buzza Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 He's had a couple of very good games and one horrible game (after getting shafted with Holland), we can give him the benefit of the doubt for a game surely... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Looks like to me he's struggling with the intensity of the league a bit. Understandable. And i say that given he hasn't looked anywhere near as good as he did in Holland. I'm sure he has it in him and i hope he turns into a great player. Not really contributing much to general play at the moment though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really contributing much to general play at the moment though. I thought he looked a lot more involved when he dropped deeper when Anita went off. I don't think it's him in particular, just with Colback and Anita as two holding midfielders, there's just not enough movement and the ball isn't getting to the more advanced players.

Unbelievable Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 He's simply not a number 10. Don't know why it's taking McClaren so long to see this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckard 13 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Should player deeper in our team. He is mobile, can move with the ball and can pick a pass. No reason he can't play box to box. De Jong or Perez ahead of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Passing forward, quickly from midfield is something we need. Anita/Colback passes are a "here, you have it.. you try something". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Passing forward, quickly from midfield is something we need. Anita/Colback passes are a "here, you have it.. you try something". Also carrying the ball forward is essential from midfield. Jonas had no end product but he did bring the ball out well. Anita and Colback are definitely "here, you have it.. you try something".

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Should player deeper in our team. He is mobile, can move with the ball and can pick a pass. No reason he can't play box to box. De Jong or Perez ahead of him. I could see the logic in trying to protect him for a few games but this just has to happen. Crying out for someone that can actually take a risk and open up a team from deeper positions, would create more space for other attackers too.

No reason he can't play box to box. De Jong or Perez ahead of him. He's a big unit who can move, dribble, and pass. He shouldn't be facing CB's, but should be up against smaller midfielders to take advantage of his size. It also gives him a better opportunity to ghost into the box unmarked/untracked if he has to come from deeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Anonymous for much of the game. Showed some glimpses in the second half but we need to see more of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 He needs to get on the ball more, and needs to get on ball early in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayno Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Poor mans Sissoko. He doesn't address any of the shortfalls we had last season. Such a poor signing and waste of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I thought he showed what he's capable of in the second half, when we started actually driving forward. We are playing without any tempo, that's why Janmaat and Sissoko stood out a mile because of their energy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Poor mans Sissoko. He doesn't address any of the shortfalls we had last season. Such a poor signing and waste of money. Don't agree. He needs time to adjust to a new league and McClaren is not helping playing him too far forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Aye he's had 6 games in the league He's showed excellent control and vision in a couple of games but he's went off the boil, not unexpected when we're this bad as a team.

Guest ElCid Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Winjambum will be alright. Needs another 5/6 games. Not with McClaren in charge under a new positive and flair manager he would be but we all know it's not going to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Was better in the second as Sissoko going wide made more space in the middle for him to exploit. He's still getting used to the league but I thought he did a couple of really good things in the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with McClaren in charge under a new positive and flair manager he would be but we all know it's not going to happen. Just thinking aloud. The team mentality stems from the individual players as a collective. After the last couple of seasons, with Pardew draining all creativity out of them and the Coup de grâce of Carver for 3 months - that is some challenge right there. The injection of new players and new coaching set-up should have gone a great way to turning that around but the early results have had a predictable adverse effect? The doldrums of previous history is swamping the enthusiasm of the new. If we'd won our first two games how different might things be? No excuses, as I said, just thinking aloud.
