This is it for me. I know positioning is a different term in football, but the way he positions his body, is almost as if he's maximising his options. Like he can change direction in the blink of an eye. I actually think he's a very intelligent player, who thinks a lot while on the pitch. Almost like he's applying game theory to his game. Sometimes he just needs to leather it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this...think he over thinks and isn't quite quick enough to make it work. A blind one touch off or a first time strike is quite frequently more effective than taking a touch and looking for options....especially in a team where there really aren't that many. Probably why he's better suited to midfield...that half second difference makes all the difference. Plus the fact he can't shoot for toffee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Can't remember the last player I was this excited to see every single week. maybe Hatem but the excitement was always tinged with doubt that he wouldn't play. Just love this guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Playing against a low block like Bournemouth while in a 3 man midfield is when I'd expect JL to show some attacking quality. He barely got in the box. I'd really expect him to show some drive and attacking intensity but he didn't offer much at all. Just a header in stoppage time.

Nine Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) Poor on the ball as per, his technical ability just doesn’t come close his other attributes. He’s great in this set up as his physical output and energy means he’s great in the press but going forward when he’s not just carrying the ball he’s weak and theres no other way to say it. Still love the big cunt. Edited September 17, 2022 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Unlucky not to score. Not his best game by far, but still the pick of our midfielders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palestoon Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Probably his worst game in a calendar year. He's earned a bad day at the office, but games like today shows his lack of technical ability. If he wants to continue his role as an all action pressing beast, we need another CM who can pick a pass. Willock and Longstaff are not that. We really miss shelvey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 He has to be the weakest in the ball CM in our XI in a game like this. Him and Willock is too limited technically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willock is our weak link, he fails to take any advantage of the hard work of others. Difficult to say he hides as his enthusiasm is clear to see. I just don't think he's the man for that role. I'd rather play Bruno there and Longstaff in the Shelvey role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 God I love him. Such a nice guy, gives everything on the pitch (he always has), all of the shit he had in the past. Just fucking love him. My favourite player tbh, I'm so annoyed he was hung out to dry as our Main striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
