Scruffy on the ball though, he's like an octopus Holy shit yes. He's exactly like an octopus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mean as fuck patrolling that left flank. He was decent yesterday and the best out of the three in the middle once again, but offensively he struggles without Bruno and ASM.

Lenny Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) He has a few areas to work on, but he really could become elite if he does continue to apply himself; at his best, he's pretty unplayable. One of my favourite traits/strengths of his is how he is so strong and able to hook the ball into space even when under pressure, he does it a lot. He needs to work on the consistency of his short passing, and obviously his finishing needs improving too but he isn't far off having all the tools needed to reach the top. Also, on viewing that video, I have to say it, but I think we miss Shelvey. Edited September 10, 2022 by Lenny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he not miss a couple after Leeds away last season ? Edit....wasn't after Leeds but he was injured for the Chelsea and Southampton games.

Happinesstan Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 He had a hip injury that he played through for some time. Ended up getting a rest eventually. I also remember Longstaff replacing him, early on one game, because of injury. Might have been the hip but think it was a hammy. Anyway, definitely missed a couple of games so the jinx is invalidated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Because he was nominally an attacking player from watching that vid it's not just that he wins the ball he so often wins the ball off player and moves forward attacking as if in one motion, and so often it doesnt look like the opposition player is expecting it at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) Watched that video a load of times today (slow day), still not bored of it. The little flashes of skill he pulls off are class, you don't expect it from legs that size, and always seems to look like he's fucked up at first Edited September 10, 2022 by Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had a touch more composure in the final third he'd be absolutely devastating (more so than he already is). That highlight reel is a joy to watch. At one point he chests the ball about 6 feet above his head and collects it. I seem to remember him winning an aerial duel against Tranmere with his chest and the ball nearly left the atmosphere.

Hanshithispantz Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 He's a really unique player like, he's very erratic in everything he does but has the strength and balance to turn it (mostly) into a positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Once he’s won the ball, nine out of ten times he turns to go forward running or to give the forward pass… Love it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Gutted for him to miss out on a call-up. I know there is competition but perhaps the stuff he does really well just doesn’t stand out as much as the more obvious game changing moments which might draw attention from distant coaches/decision makers.

ElDiablo Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Manager's are probably reticent to rock the boat just before WC, but seeing Fred in there is a little upsetting. Does nothing better than our Joe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
