HaydnNUFC Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Aye, personally don't believe he wants to leave like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Agree. He’s so committed to the club. His performance versus city is a reason I don’t want him leaving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Graeme Bailey probably stirring the pot. He clearly hates us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpingel Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Sounded quite relaxed and positive on radio yesterday morning for what it's worth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 If agent driven I could see his reps worried that Barreca and Almiron really push him out of the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribesman Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I saw the penalty again from a different angle and I didn't realised it squeezed through Ederson's body. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonArmy1892 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 The little jump he does before someone has a shot is funny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribesman Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I didn't know he used to play left back earlier in his career. Maybe we should buy another winger in the summer and move Ritchie to left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I don’t know what to make of him. Go through phases where I love him but then he’ll do something like make a ridiculous challenge or go through spells where he can’t beat the first man and think what the hell. If Kenedy can build on his cameo on Saturday over the next few sub appearances I’d like to see him in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Angry as fuck on Saturday, constantly waving his arms about screaming like a radge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 As much as I admire his passion, time for him to move on. He doesn't seem to be on the same wavelength as the new front 3. Only been a couple of games, so hopefully he improves on this. But just seems to make up for his lack of attacking threat with yelling and being mad at his teammates.

St1pe Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I think you need grafters like him in the team/squad. If we were to move him on in the summer the squad would be worse off for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Think he was getting frustrated on Saturday with Almiron straying from his expected position. He had a few words with Rafa at one point as he was clearly looking for Almiron down the line and he wasn’t there. That’ll all quickly improve.

Marmoset Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yeah he'll be a very good utility option for next season whatever happens. And you've got to give him a chance to get used to Almiron's movement to be fair to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 To be fair it is quite a shock to see any kind of movement down the left hand side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Looks like the weakest link at the moment. He clearly works better with Atsu than Almiron, but that's tough shit for Ritchie. I've been following the debate about him "ignoring" Almiron and watched for it, and it seemed to me that more than once Almiron was narrower than Ritchie wanted. Surely it's just a getting-to-know-you thing...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Ritchie's a bit of a cult hero as far as I'm concerned because he was massive for us in the Championship and has, on the whole, been extremely dependable in the Premier League; but I'd love to see Rafa spend significant bucks on a LWB and a RWB. The system we have employed for the past however many weeks works a treat at times but where it's most lacking is that consistent penetration from the widest areas. We'd be pushing the top 7 if we had players in those positions who weren't just 'alright'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Yep, they're both grafters but neither can really threaten a fullback and get to the byline. Guess that's not necessarily a requirement, but more crosses for Rondon would be nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 LWB being a thing is the only reason he's playing in the PL now IMO. He's done very well recently but we definitely need an upgrade in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Thought he was pretty class today tbh. That shot at the end though I said it in the match thread, he's very 6/10. I like him, but we need an upgrade to kick on, as has been the case for many players over multiple years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Ritchie probably has the best opportunity to show his best now, more than at any other stage during his time with us. Whilst he doesn’t have the most athletic attributes, he’s a player that, given space, can cause problems with his quality passing and crossing, and with Almiron we have a player that can create that space for him. People are picking up on him not passing to Almiron, but it’s likely that he’s enjoying having a bit of room for a change, rather than anything sinister. I really wouldn’t be surprised if Ritchie’s form and productivity took an upturn during the remainder of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
