Shadow Puppets Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 He’s the weirdest player in our team IMO. Genuinely can’t pinpoint anything that he’s particularly good at. He’s just ok at a few things here and there. So laboured in most of the things he attempts to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 We just kept punting it into him and he did an ok job of bringing the ball down, but then he let's himself down by a sloppy touch or pass every time. Must've done that a dozen times today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 His balance is awful. He can shield the ball well and be in a good position but his balance is so bad, he is tackled easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The team is selected to fit around him. ASM should be on the left. The commentator summed him up when he said that he just never looks threatening. When he picks up the ball there is just no danger to the opposition. Perhaps Ashley will take him and Bruce to Derby if he buys them. If not they could work for SD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Doesn’t help it seemed the entire game plan was to lump long balls up to him. Presumably just because he’s tall. During the warm up, he looked like a solid player. He even hit a ball with power behind it. Put him in the match and he looks a complete donkey. I’m going to reserve total judgement until we have a proper manager in. Longstaff, Hayden, Lascelles, Manquillo... they all looked like competent PL players under Rafa. Under Bruce they barely look Championship standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Of our top 10, would be a stretch to say only three have been a success? Shearer, Wijnaldum and Wilson?
