Sean Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Thought he was absolutely fine on Saturday. Slightly bemused as to why people would be in any way concerned by his performance. Same, he was fine. Gonna be absolutely cringeworthy seeing some of the overreactions if he actually does have a bad game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry too much, these people aren't very imaginative, they'll probably repeat the same shit again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 How was he? quiet first half, great 2nd/ Like most of the team tbf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Put two or three very good crosses in during the first half still despite being quiet, just no one made the run or both players in the box made the same run/ dropped back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Never stops running which is nice to see. Carries the ball well but sometimes forgets he's not still up against MLS defenders when he attempts to cut back or dribble past too slowly. Wicked shot that Pickford could only put on a platter for Ayoze though Can't wait for the scenes when one of his goes in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I was thinking he might need taking off, urgently, then he hit that shot which led to the equaliser and all of a sudden he was quality. The key was taking Ritchie away from him. I wonder if it's time to try Paully D in the Ritchie role. The latter was rubbish today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest godzilla Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Was pissed off the amount of times Ritchie completely ignored him and turned to pass it back. Seems to be a common thing up to now also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely nee chemistry between them, like. There's nowt silly in it, they just don't really click and, tbh, Ritchie's in a bit of shit form. Not a lot coming off for him recently and he was quite poor today I thought. No coincidence we improved when Rafa took him off the left and ultimately off the pitch.

Ritchie is generally out best crosser of the ball, admittedly he's in bad form at the moment, so its not really paying off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almiron is an exceptional talent who's directness and pace will be a great asset to us. Ritchie is a very experienced senior pro who's game is more pragmatic. We need both sides.

KaKa Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 It's alarming how often Almiron makes a run asking for the ball ahead of him and for no apparent reason at all Ritchie doesn't release it. Ironically I have noticed him have a go at Almiron for not giving him the ball when he is not even in half as useful a position. Something is definitely off there. Must have twisted him up in training or something. Ritchie is displaying all of the characteristics of a future PFM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 It’s beyond obvious that Ritchie isn’t passing to him. It’s happened every game since Almiron arrived. I don’t know whether it’s because Ritchie is annoyed that Almiron takes up similar positions to him or whether he’s worried Almiron is going to ultimately take his place but there’s something going on. I used to quite like Ritchie but I’ve gone right off him after this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Almirón clearly frustrated with Ritchie at times. Haring into space showing where he wants the ball and Ritchie turns away inside to do nothing with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s definitely rattled for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
