I'm still convinced confidence is the biggest issue with him at the moment. Morons messaging him on twitter with abuse won't help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 What I liked about him, was his willingness to have a go and carry the ball from deep. We got a lot of joy down his flank and Yedlin and him combined fairly well. He worked hard coming back, as well. Got his head down a bit at times and a couple of pointless shots. But a solid game, I thought. If he can build on that. He could be a more useful player for us than Atsu, who I don’t particularly rate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most of us - prior to yesterday we would have seen nothing positive from his play so far. Now we can see there's a player with some potential in there. Can shoot. Can actually beat a man. I don't think Atsu and Ritchie have enough threat from open play. In open play both will struggle fro goals and assists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 A lot of positives despite details that need worked on, which will also come together when confidence is gained. Having said that, this is why he starts ahead of Aarons despite all the I know better fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 He's predominantly right-footed as well which is a plus among our group of wingers. The only negative is that Ritchie was moved out onto the left yesterday to accommodate, where he was relatively peripheral. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least listen to him when he tells fans not to abuse players all the time. But they know better than Rafa of course Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are entitled to their opinions which based on what they've seen - makes sense. I don't think anyone in their right mind doubts Rafa but they are allowed independent thoughts.

Oh yeah theres nothing wrong with differing opinions, not trying to get at anyone who has a different view on things. We do have a sizeable number of idiots who like to go overboard though, and Rafa has had to repeatedly point this out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I thought he showed lots of promise and lots of effort. He showed good pace, quick feet and strength on the ball and he was a goal threat. His decision making was poor at times, but after the criticism of his last outing, he was much improved.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Interetesing that yesterday was his first league start in an away game against one of the best teams in the league, but also his most promising performance. It’s almost like players shouldn’t be judged or discredited based on 5-10 minute substitute appearances, how weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s almost like players shouldn’t be judged or discredited based on 5-10 minute substitute appearances, how weird. Playing right side and with the support of Yedlin on that flank helped him massively. He stretched them, got in behind and was a goal threat. Poor shooting and selective decision making aside, he did very well. Interestingly, he lost the ball quite weakly in his own half and ran back, chased his man, and put in a decisive block. Something he didn't quite do in his last outing for us hence the cat calls from the stands. I always say if you lose the ball in a challenge go and try and get it back or stop your man. If you make a mistake, atone for it. Put the effort in off the ball basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Looked miles ahead of that Swansea performance. Few shots he got off in the first half actually made him look far more confident and grew into the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Showed some promise yesterday, as I said in the match thread. Wasn't afraid to take players on and he got a couple of shots off too. There is potential there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
