Georginio Wijnaldum

[Aiston]

He as shown his quality in home games so for me it's all down to McLaren's tactics away from home.  They just don't understand what he wants from them.

 

Cannot blame tactics when the player just refuses to get himself involved in the game as much as he did last night.

[ujpest doza]

He's a crock of shit.

 

Got nothing to do with tactics, he's just a bottling cunt who plays one decent game in 10 and only at home in big games when he can be bothered.

 

[ikri]

Can only assume that the only reason he wasn't subbed last night instead of Saivet is that he was so anonymous that even the coaching staff forgot he was on the pitch.

[Jesse Pinkman]

What was he actually doing last night? He didn't seem to be dropping short or wanting the ball at all.  People claim Colback hides but this guy took it to a new level last night, by hiding behind Barry all game.

 

Pathetic.

[Guest reefatoon]

Have to say like, that was a shambolic performance from him. He can't go hiding like that and expect to get away with it. Fucking awful, just like the rest of them.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Drop him for Doumbia for a couple of away games.

[Guest reefatoon]

Yep, it's pointless playing one up top, and him sitting behind being completely anonymous, offering nothing to support the attacker or being available to link up the midfield.  Just an absolute waste of time.  I always thought you could tell what Shola would be like after about 2 minutes of a game. The same seems to apply with this lad. Might as well just sub him after 2 mins when you can see he is going to do fuck all, as it is just a waste of a shirt when he plays like that

[George Bailey]

Wonder how much we will get for him in the summer.

[triggs]

Didn't help him that McClaren blatantly picked the wrong striker just cos he's got a new contract

Or maybe because the other one never scores

I hope you're not indicating that Perez was chosen because he's a goalscorer.

 

Neither of them will get 10 goals and that, along with being unable to keep clean sheets is why we will go down.

You've moved on from being Moussa Sissoko's PR man.  To going round every thread, mentioning Mitrovic's open play goal scoring record

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Something had to change, it didn't work, we would have lost anyway

Its not the same thing though when we were giving our new winger, who was apparently brought in to supply our 6ft4 striker with crosses, his debut and we ultimately drop the striker from the gameplan.

 

Not to mention that Perez isn't a striker.

[Memphis]

In the last two second halves, away at Watford and last night at Everton, Wijnaldum completed a grand total of 18 passes, only 4 of which were forward passes in the opposition's half.

 

In the second half of the West Ham match alone, he completed 28 passes, 8 of which were forward passes in the opposition half.

 

Very worrying.

 

[KaKa]

He's not really a number 10 IMO. More of a second striker if anything. He needs to play off of a front man that holds the ball up and links play.

 

He will not look to drop into spaces get on the ball and influence things at all. With Ayoze up front alone we needed a number 10 that played that way, and he doesn't, and it was a huge issue yesterday.

[triggs]

Think Unbelievable said when he was in his best form that he was surprised he was playing so well and that he didn't think he'd keep it up. At the time we probably didn't want to believe it but it looks like he was probably correct

Townsend has always been a cut in and shoot type player rather than a get down the line and cross hasn't he though?

He has been when he's played RM but thats why we've apparently put him on the left, so he can get crosses in for Mitro.

 

Mind you, it is the local media who reported that.

[Tsunami]

He struggles badly away from home because of the way we set up and the areas of the pitch we usually gain possession (deep in our own half). We either have to change tactics or we may as well not play him in away games. We were set up to fail last night.

[Minhosa]

Honestly, what's up with this cunt away from home? It's like he's two different players in one.

[sempuki]

The invisible man away. Might get dropped for Stoke.

[Big Geordie]

Another who barely dirties his shirt away from home.

[r0cafella]

Another who barely dirties his shirt away from home.

Aye, need more passion like Shelvey or bantz

[themanupstairs]

As luxury as a luxury player can get.

[Disco]

He's been shite away, yes, but the way we set up uninterested in attacking and just booting it lot to Mitro isn't exactly helping his cause. The games he's been OK in away have unsurprisingly been the rare ones when we've looked to move the ball through the middle along the floor at a pacer quicker than 0.

 

It's a tough one to drop him as he's one of the few players we have who can score but at the same time it might be the kick up the arse he needs.
