Kanj Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Completely disagree, we are expecting others to now fill the void from his lack of goals or creativity now for a few months. 0 goals so far for such an attacking player so far this season is absolutely awful despite him being unlucky on a few occasions, but when you don't score it's bad finishing mainly the reason why. He simply doesn't have the game for the PL due to his chronic lack of pace. He justified his place earlier in the season due to his set piece ability but that's completely dried up now. I like Ritchie a lot and thought he carried us last season but Murphy and atsu I believe are our best options now. Great post. Spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 not a fan of his at all tbh. See why Bournemouth sold him. His set pieces are shite too now edit: hadnt read that other post saying basically the same fair play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Re: his goal scoring, does he ever get in the box? Does he ever take shots from positions like the Dummett one? Nice, if not difficult, ball over the top for Perez, but otherwise he was poor. The checking back all the time is frustrating and kills attacks.

Most of our midfielders are hopeless at getting into box. I don't think I've seen shelvey in it all season in the PL for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I'm far from his biggest fan, but he is still one of the players with some of the most assists this season. Final ball is good, he just needs to defend better and not shit himself when going at people Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that is the case but players making wrong or shit runs and not scoring when chances are given don't help. He barely even beats the first man these days In fact I'm starting to think that's what the rubbing his temples signal is to the rest of the team. "I'll hit the first defender" He put in a decent ball 2nd half today from a somewhat deep free kick to be fair. Was begging to be attacked at the back post and no one made the run (wey I think one tried but they ended up on the floor for some reason) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivian Darkbloom Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Yedlin as winger and one of our defenders at fullback. Mbemba... does he still play for us? He can do it. Yedlin could put Lascelles' jeans on and still run quicker than Ritchie. As for Murphy, he's got no goolies, and we're gonna need players with massive clockweights over the next few months.

I think k he is trying to pin point such set prices and as such they don't pay off as they hit the front man.

He needs to be burying those, it was a perfect position for him. I've watched him practice shots from that exact location before games, so he should fancy himself from there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The one at the Gallowgate? If so, I completely disagree. Someone should have been attacking the back post cause the ball in was bang on the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Ritchie is a waste of a shirt, really. He only offered set pieces and they've gone to shit. He dramatically slows down our attacks... what's the point? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 He's got our most assists this season hasn't he? Waste of a shirt is a bit dramatic to say the least. He's not fantastic at this level by any stretch of the imagination but Howay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 He’s just not contributed anything tangible in recent memory. The Ayoze one wasn’t on him obviously but he’s cracking post, over hitting or under hitting set pieces and is currently keeping in form Jacob Murphy out the team if Gayle or Joselu starts. Just hard to stomach that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I just think we'll be able to unlock space and counter much more effectively with Murphy in the side. Ritchie's play is quite predictable which I think makes it easier for teams to defend against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
