Tiresias Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 what a wonder a good coach is to make players better. The sheer stupidity of ashley sticking with bruce, with every day he drained quality out of players and reduced their value. Thats the insane thing, he could have sucked way more money out of us if he wasnt too lazy to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 No one will convince me there isn't a top class player in there. Still no way near the levels he was but he was still very effective tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 He was decent overall, still has a few of those moments where he’s not sharp or athletic enough to adjust and react. But I suppose all CMs do, it’s a hard position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWN Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 For me he was our only weak link tonight, too slow on the ball. That said he done a few decent things and played ok to be fair but is not a player I’d keep unless Howe can find a key. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Poor lad was totally Bruced, but there are glimmers of the Rafa-era player in there. Good luck to him whatever happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 The through ball to Wilson was indeed sexy, if a touch heavy, but what impressed me was that he had the confidence to even try it. Can’t remember much more than a side-footed pass or thunderbastard shot from him forever… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Looks a player again, but still not of the required level like most of the team going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 As has been said before, it feels like he needs a clearly-defined role in the side. He’s not someone you select and then give freedom to. Tell him what to do and what’s expected and he’ll do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixx Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 He had space and time on the ball. He buckles under opponents who pressure. Useful player and a good game. I’d keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Hard to say exactly how important his action was for the second goal. If he doesn’t win the challenge Arsenal have a massive break on because our entire midfield and forward line is ahead of the ball. It’s potentially 1-1 but he won it and we made it 2-0. He did really well. Have to be honest, other than that I think he stood out like a sore thumb and visibly was the one in the XI who is most upgradeable.

Loathe to pull anyone after such a good team performance but he really looked a few seconds behind everyone else with his decision making/passes.

Whitley mag Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) Gone quiet on his new contract, would be a bit disappointed if he left after last couple of performances. Got a feeling the lad genuinely just wants to play and might take a chance elsewhere. Edited May 22, 2022 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think with him he'd be great as a homegrown and English trained player but I agree, his ambitions may be higher than squad player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
