Mr Logic Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Bloke's a class act, he just doesn't belong in our half. Should always be on the team sheet in an advanced role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMTW Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I know he doesn't like it, but I think he's more effective out wide where he can create something or come in to score when it's on the opposite flank. I'd start with him and Townsend as the wide men next match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I thought him and Townsend were our best players tbh. He was a lot more involved in the middle although defensively we lose some bite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Sunderland's defensive mid was comfortably man of the match like, he absolutely bossed the midfield and they looked much worse when he went off for Cattermole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Moussa could be good in midfield if limited to a sitting ball winning role Nah you play him in the box to box role, where he's getting up and down the pitch. He'd be far more of presence there than Gini. Shelvey in the same exact role he played today. Gini out wide or somewhere else in attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Annoyingly safe, today. He dribbled through their ranks very dangerously a few times and then just seemed to stop doing it and started just passing it sideways a lot. Wasn't great defensively, either. I'd persist with him at CM, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 For quite a talented footballer, he is ridiculously conservative in his passing like. Just passes it to the guy nearest to him basically every time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Both he and Perez are similar. People don't tend to want them out wide, but it's where they do their best work from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 For quite a talented footballer, he is ridiculously conservative in his passing like. Just passes it to the guy nearest to him basically every time There's not usually anyone making a run to be fair. He does try and hold it for as long as possible before being forced to pass to the nearest team mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Still not sure if this guy is class with many poor performances or very poor with occasional class performances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Thought he was poor for a majority of the game. Little influence. Little threat. Showed he has some real class with the assist however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Offered nothing centrally. Better when out on the right. We badly missed a proper DM today (Tiote or even Saviet). Shelvey sits in deep enough to be a DM but doesn't break the play up in the same way that Kirchhoff did for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 He's clearly our best player technically, he just needs to use it. He didnt even have to scrape in that cross, he destroyed whoever went towards him. Had ages to put it across. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I want him higher up the pitch. Need him to be near or in the box a lot more than today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, he needs space to run into. He doesn't get it behind the striker, if you want him to play on the wing with licence to make runs fair enough but he should never play behind the striker.

r0cafella Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 His role has to be purely breaking into the box late and trying to score goals like a second striker. He isn't the creative type or someone who can drive us forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Thought he did a decent job in CM tbh, doesn't look a role he's suited to at all but carried it forward well a few times and had a few nice touches. Long term he shouldn't be playing CM though, and I'm not sure playing just off the striker suits him either. I'd start him wide right the next game. Think he showed on the goal that one on one with the FB he can beat his man and then put in a delivery, which we desperately need. Would also allow him to do what he did so well on the left earlier in the year, namely drifting inside and getting on the end of chances in the box and scoring goals. Problem was on the left he couldn't contribute a lot in build up play, as he always had to cut inside when in possession. On the right he could take on the defender and get a cross in though.

They weren't driving penetrating runs which he did, he will beat a man and lay it off. I want him beating a man and getting a shot off, or arriving into the box looking to get on the end of something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
