Ketsbaia Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I was one of those who likened him to Obertan, based on his debut and what I'd seen at Spurs/England. Must admit though, he looks a lot better in our team - our best attacking threat. Very impressed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Thought he was one of our worst players tonight tbh. Agreed, 8th or 9th worst for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
last_monetarist Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I envisage Rafa using him in the Yossi Benayoun role if he's here next year. Start him on the wing and giving him the flexibility to float behind the main striker. If he's as effective as Benayoun was for Liverpool between 2007 and 2010, I'll be satisfied.

Lush Vlad Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 You can't fault his work rate. He tracks back a lot, whilst being pretty threatening going forward. Considering how long he had playing for the stiffs at Spurs and the injury he got when he first arrived, he looks in good shape. He was still tearing up and down, just before he came off. Not the most talented and he makes some bad decisions. But he seems to care. Which makes a refreshing change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Played really well, he's got so much confidence in himself and his ability to beat a man, plus he can put a good ball into the box. Far better than I thought he was before we bought him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I rated him before and am pleased he's starting to do well. Seems like he has a really good attitude too which is so refreshing in our side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I thought he was really good yesterday and felt Perez should have come off before him as Ayoze's legs looked shot. I was vociferously against his signing and can now see that he can have a positive impact for where we are now as a club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hasn't played football all season, so was going to be rusty when he first joined us. He's improving each week, could be a real asset for us next season if we stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I thought his effort levels have been top last few matches. But he looked useless at times prior to that. Hope he continues to play like he did last two matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTastic Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I was critical and happy to be proven wrong by his attacking ability. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 He's not as quick as I thought he was. Not that I'm saying anything negative about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 He's not as quick as I thought he was. Not that I'm saying anything negative about that. Same, I'd thought he'd have similar pace to Obertan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Yeah, he's not as quick as I thought he would be but a better player. He's a threat from the wing and has a decent shot on him. Also works hard and clearly cares. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Wasn't cutting in so much against City and I thought he looked much better for it. Was a few occasions where he skinned his man out the outside and got a cross in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nattfare Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 He could do with a broader dribble register really. Right now he only does that one stepover and goes right forward and everyone are going to figure that one out sooner or later.

Mattoon Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Was vehemently against him signing and was much more excited about Shelvey, boy was I wrong, turning out to be just the kind of character we need right now. Glad he proved me wrong like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
