Bimpy474 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 He's miles more involved and effective on the right Aye he has been for us, funny thing is i dont think it's going to matter if he's left or right from a crossing point of view, if you have two good fullbacks providing crosses as well. I would give him freedom to roam a bit, coming in from the right. Thinking we have a good player on the left doing the same, imagine that plus two overlapping full backs.

LFEE Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 He's actually been fairly quiet last 3-4 games going forward after playing more positively in the two games we lost. Guessing Rafa has asked him to change for the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Anyone notice him laughing as he and Shelvey were doing their corner routine. Seemed to be enjoying himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 He was our 2nd best player against Reading and was involved in 2 goals so for you to say he was quiet seems a bit odd. Especially as everyone else (and me) is saying he was excellent. I know football is all about opinions but he definitely wasn't quiet against Reading Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I mean, you said this after the Reading game Early days but possibly the obvious captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I mean, you said this after the Reading game Early days but possibly the obvious captain. That's why I said last 3 or 4 games as I don't think he played in the Cup. Last 3 he was fairly quiet. Reading he was 7/10 and looked our obvious captain but wasn't excellent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 He's actually been fairly quiet last 3-4 games going forward after playing more positively in the two games we lost. Guessing Rafa has asked him to change for the team. He's not got much pace so he finds it difficult to get behind defenders, I think we might see him look a whole lot more effective when he's teamed with a pacy full back who can overlap. That will open up the pitch for him to cut inside and do what he does best. His delivery when he does get in a good position is excellent, we just need to create more opportunity for him to show it.

John P Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Loved on the highlights how he would just take a touch and then whip the ball in from the left. If we have Mitrovic in the team it might actually be better to have Ritchie playing on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Take it this guy was class last night, anyone who was there? Yeah. He was outshone by Shelvey and Perez going forward. But his touch and delivery, are just delightful. The first time ball for Perez was superb and his corners were a threat all night. At one point, Hayden fizzed a 40 yard diagonal to him. He was under a bit of pressure and right on the touchline. Killed it stone dead on his chest and laid it back to Dummett. Had a great 25 yarder that Smithies tipped over. Pretty clever with his passing and movement, too. Nothing that we didn't already know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't drinking last night and I was trying to pay particular attention to those I hadn't seen live before. So hopefully they are fairly accurate summaries.

Crumpy Gunt Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 He's getting that Scott Parker turn off to perfection. Receive ball - turn 180 - pass back. Must be 20 times a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
