buzz Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 He's always been like this but used to have moments of quality that made up for it. None of that this season though. He's now on a par with the likes of Geremi, Amady Faye and Alan Smith at their worst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you 100% for the first year or so, my main issue was his inconsistancy and his overall shooting ability in the first couple of seasons. Agree also, that over the last season and a half (he had a period in the first half of last season when he did ok/average/reasonably well - depending on opinion), where his influence in games over this period is virtually ziltch; and his hollywood balls; 95% (if not more) of the time; go straight to the opposition and nowhere near their actual target. He also looks like he is not bothered or trying throughout the games, which in unforgiveable, especially as he is the current captain of the team.

Dr Jinx Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Every other club has him sussed tactically. They tell their midfielders to run into the box knowing he won’t track back. He plays maybe 3 good passes on average each game and does nothing else. Doesn’t tackle, doesn’t press effectively, rarely scores. He’s a complete waste of space. The same reason as mentioned before is why he’s still here. Nowhere else will come in for him. He’s also a very unlikeable person. One of many at this club.

Kanj Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Every single shot he takes is either blocked by a defender or the goalie is never challenged, so annoying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) This cunt is a worse captain than Michael Owen. At least Owen still scored goals despite his disinterest. Edited May 3, 2021 by Sima Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Doesn't even do the limited "good stuff" he used to do anymore. Shelvey, Gayle, Ritchie, Clark, Murphy. All players that were out or about to be moved on by Rafa. All the type of players you would find in relegation or championship teams. While Murphy/Clark/Ritchie have shown to be useful at times if they can be replaced his summer jettison them all with Hendrick, Carroll, Atsu, Krafth too. Kick the longstaffs out on loan to boot.

The thing about the stats is that they will probably go against what we are seeing. I.e. he makes the easy back pass to the central defence or to the side quite often and makes cowardly runs backwards after he realises he’s fucked up and let his man go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 He's not a footballer, he probably doesn't even want to be a footballer just likes the wages. He spent 12 hours a day practising long passes so he could impress at trials and get himself on the gravy train. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 When asked about his absence, Bruce told reporters: "Jonjo hurt himself before pre-season doing running on his own." - Can be dangerous that running malarkey.
