cubaricho Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 A winger that does not score or assist, but plays well Okay, how about "looks lively tonight and has been our only outlet at times" - does that work better for you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Almost as if he’s a £5m Chelsea reserve. Was our best player tonight which isn’t saying much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Did so much well but his final ball is basically laughable at this point. I have absolutely no confidence that he will ever score another goal at this club. Might grab a couple of assists getting in behind leaky defences. Showing for the ball and finding space: he's done great. Genuinely, he's playing that 'in-between the lines' role as well as anybody has done since Rafa came in. But he's incapable of making a big difference in the final third. Put him in one of the better Championship sides and he'd be a really useful weapon. But at this level... nah, he just lacks those crucial attributes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Poor lad just need a bit of extra shooting practice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Looked slower than he should. Yorkie has it pretty spot on. Unfortunately the best bet we have in that position tbh. He has been out of the side so long I think some continued time there will only help him grow in confidence and hopefully remember how to shoot properly. It's the best we can hope for :*( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikenewcastle Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 He's a poor man's Adama Traore (and he's quite bad). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been out of the side so long I think some continued time there will only help him grow in confidence and hopefully remember how to shoot properly. It's the best we can hope for :*( He looks fast until he gets into a dangerous area, then he starts hesitating and stumbling to get the ball out of his feet. Classic case of a player not relishing the big game atmosphere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Other than that though, he was lively and looking to be a threat. Just didn't quite have the conviction to follow it through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlito Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Did so much well but his final ball is basically laughable at this point.

But he's incapable of making a big difference in the final third. Put him in one of the better Championship sides and he'd be a really useful weapon. But at this level... nah, he just lacks those crucial attributes. Agreed. Might even be worth converting into a left back at this point to utilize his strengths, without having to rely on him to be the provider for Rondon or whoever it may be.

bhoywhonder Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 The harder he kicks a football, the further away from the target it goes. When it comes to a shot on sight of goal, he's basically every 5-a-side player, ever. Did well tonight though in my opinion. Created space, controlled difficult passes. Best player ever, 6.5/10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 It's nice having him in the team. He's tricky and he certainly offers something different. Sadly his end product just isn't there. Still want him to stay in the team during this period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 he could have played all last night and never scored nor put in a single dangerous cross, his end product is disgusting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Played well, except anywhere near their box. Shots are passes to their keeper and crosses rarely reach a NUFC player. Championship level, if we didn't already know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhog63 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Did look "lively", saw loads of the ball but his end product is woeful. Ritchie "puts a shift in" with similar results. As for Kennedy, I'm not sure whats happened there. Utter gash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 He has improved significantly since Rafa decided to play him differently, finding space between midfield and defence rather than isolating his full-back. Still can't shoot so very little comes of it, but he's probably our best threat after Rondon right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 He can't shoot, pass or cross, but been our best player the last few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
