Numbers Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 He seemed to wander out of position quite often, pretty sure Rafa can sort that out though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 he's really really poor Aye positionally awful. Even more annoying because he does some quite good things in one on ones as KI said Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgie Smuggler Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Couldn't understand why most people thought he had a good game last week. Was even worse today. If he's not fancied at CB I'd have Chancel above him in the pecking order when people are fit again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 At fault for all three goals we have conceded so far this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bordertoon Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 At fault for all three goals we have conceded so far this season. Harsh, but probably fair. Looks okay physically, on the ball, and going forwards, although his end product needs to improve. However, I think he might need a private tutor (or 3) to help him integrate Rafa's defensive masterclasses, as his positioning and awareness do seem to be poor.

Dave Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 As with the majority of our signings this summer, he's probably a decent squad player. We needed clear first team improvements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Probably at most fault for last weeks goals. Not today's tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 As with the majority of our signings this summer, he's probably a decent squad player. We needed clear first team improvements. And here lies the problem in fact I would say every signing we have made so far IS a squad player at best. Compound that with the fact that other players who are squad players a best also and it's easy to see the major problems we have. That's what happens when you continue to sign the 4th or 5th choice players on the manager's wish list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJM Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Not even a decent squad player. Nowhere near good enough to be a premier league full back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lejuene and Atsu are starters I think, and Murphy/Merino feel like they're for the future so it's a bit harsh to include them I gues. Point is we needed to overhaul the TEAM and we've not done that.

That's what happens when you continue to sign the 4th or 5th choice players on the manager's wish list. Indeed, it sometimes feels like we're in danger of having a full squad and no first team. Come to think of it, which players would we be happy to think of as automatic first team players in the EPL? Personally, I'd say Riviere obviously; Shelvey definitely (when he's not been sectioned/suspended); Lejeune and Merino possibly (it's too early to tell); and Ritchie, Clark, Yedlin, and Mbemba maybe (although in truth I'd prefer that the quality of our first team saw them become squad players ideally). Unless I'm forgetting someone, I see the rest of our squad as cover ... unfortunately, it's "cover" for the players that we don't actually have, or even look like getting in the foreseeable future.

Atsu is a squad player (as he was in the Championship) as are currently Murphy and Merino (they may in time) - agree we needed a massive overhaul of the first team and it has not been done with not one signing being a guaranteed first team player. Not going to happen either with that fat cunt in charge although expect him to shit himeself in January when it is probably too late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bordertoon Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 No, not seriously - I thought he was the only player who was so below par that it would be obvious that I was joking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 At fault for all three goals we have conceded so far this season. He was the only one that even attempted to stop the goal yesterday, Merino was far more at fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I don't like the way he sprints. The stance he takes up grates on me, and I thought he was meant to be quick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to work on final ball. Agree. He's not great, but nowhere near as bad as people make out. Overlaps quite nicely going forward, defensively not great, but you get what you pay for I suppose.
