Minhosa Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I don't think you can use the setup as an excuse at this stage. He's not been good enough and, at this stage of the season, there really are no excuses for his inability to influence our away performances. Sometimes, the player just has to look at themselves.

I guess what I'm saying is that if you bring someone else in playing the same system I wouldn't fancy them to do much either. But yes, he should be doing more. If even just from a defensive and harrying POV rather than anything positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Another who barely dirties his shirt away from home. Aye, need more passion like Shelvey or bantz Not an excuse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Never known a player to be so good yet have so little involvement. Not even sure McClaren is to blame on this one. He's played LM, LW, AM, CM...far too often he just goes missing in games in any position he's put. Like he's actively trying to not be involved. Very strange. Deserved hooked today but for Perez or Doumbia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 One of the shittest players in the squad when it comes to away games. He had as many touches vs Chelsea as Lascelles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Absolutely baffling how he can be so good when we play at home, yet totally anonymous away from home. The way McClaren sets us up away from home doesn't help mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Setup might be one thing, but it sounds like he's consistently having much less of the ball than his team mates when away from home. That'd suggest it's more an individual thing than a team issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Wonder if he had the same issue with away form at psv. If he didn't then point the finger at the plank in the dugout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Wonder if he had the same issue with away form at psv. If he didn't then point the finger at the plank in the dugout.

Aiston Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Don't think even the setup can be blamed, it's simply Wijnaldum just not getting involved or putting in the effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last couple of away games have seemed very complacent. I know we don't have a team of grafters, like, which we probably need a better balance of away from home, but it appears a little like some of them have taken their foot off the pedal because we've got some new players in and they can pick up the slack instead.

Lush Vlad Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Absolutely baffling how he can be so good when we play at home, yet totally anonymous away from home. It is certainly polar opposites with Wijnaldum. But I would say the same for the team in general. At times, we look like a top half team at home and look really comfortable and create a lot of chances. Away from home, we're the worst team in the league. I mean statistically, Villa are worse. But I think even they have managed more goals and conceded less. Plus, I still can't believe we won at Bournemouth! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 One of his better away games for us last night...which is saying something because he's one of the biggest bottlers in the team during them. How does he escape criticism as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 He just plays very odd sometimes, drags everything down to a snails pace...seems like he is trying to make an intelligent pass or do something but nobody is moving around, no movement, and he's just kind of confused all over.
