nufcjb Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 You'd probably be able to do a short video compilation of his fails yesterday. Absolutely enraged with his display. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Plays the role of maverick winger perfectly - when it works it's amazing but the rest of the time it's frustrating as hell - we just have to hope he has more good days than bad for the rest of the season because the alternatives are a lot worse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Dogshit. Total show pony lacking in any football awareness. Highlight being a shot that nearly went for a throw in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 The constant tricks and step overs when there’s the need for an obvious quick ball are very frustrating. I wouldn’t be at all surprised that kore decisive players in his position will replace him if we stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWTL Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I think trying to get PEA on loan would be a good idea just to give him some competition on that side, I know he is a bit of a knob but still a great player when he turns up and would give ASM a shake and would get goals. Wouldn't be my first signing but if still available nearer the end of January I'd add him to the squad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 16 hours ago, Awaymag said: opposition just let him do his tricks but if you stand a couple of yards off him, when he makes his move to go past, just out muscle him. Thats what Cambridge did today. He then resorts to trying to pass and he screws it up. I think he passed 3-4 times to a Cambridge player when trying to make a 5 yard pass! Didn't even look like he was trying to pass, sometimes. He just kicked it away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Here's a crazy opinion that should get me jailed. I do wonder if he's better suited to Bruce's style of football (if that's not a contradiction in terms to start with). Constantly running at a defence for a whole game is kind of knackering. So actually, a game where you only have about 30% possession and you're just passed to from out of your own half occasionally, with the licence to run at retreating defenders with their backs to goal and just cause mayhem...well, that suits him down to a T. But take a game like yesterday, where you're expected to be on the ball more, and their team is set and sitting back. Without the space to run into then you just end up doing stepovers and then trying to cross the ball to no-one in particular. I think he's really talented and can be great to watch in what has been a poor team. But it's quite hard to think of where he should actually play if you're not planning on playing mainly on the break. If you want a more possession based brand of football, basically, I'm not sure if he fits in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awaymag Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Constantly running at a defence for a whole game is kind of knackering. And that is why he has no footballing brain. He doesn't need to run at the defence for the whole game. If he was smart he would know that as soon as he has the ball, 2-3 player are attracted to him. Time to think not run, that means my teammates (ones in B&W not yellow) will have space and therefore I can just lay the ball off and the attack will build!

NE27 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 For being an almost unpredictable player, he's predictably unpredictable. He never seems to use the easy out, in fact he even struggles to pass when he does realise he has teammates. Definitely in the flawed genius camp.

AJ9 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) I mean I know it’s not the same in any way, but when I play 5s or 7s with a player like him it usually makes me never want to play with that player ever again. The lad never plays a simple ball. Edited January 9, 2022 by alijmitchell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 His assist first day of the season is what he needs to do consistently. He used his tricks to create the yard of space to cross for Wilson. Very, very rarely see that from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a child throwing a tantrum The way Jones had us playing was rancid, mind. Don't think I would've wanted to play in that shite. But still, he's had, from what I can remember, 2 decent games since Howe's come in. That's poor. And he needs to buck his ideas up and get his head out his fucking arse because with the position we're in I can't put up with another season of that shit. 2008-09 and 2015-16esque.

Is it not just people picking out players who were shit and commenting on it? Or are some players above criticism? Doesn’t matter who the player is, if they play crap then people can pull that up.

It's also not just calling him shit yesterday but many are calling him shit full stop or wanting him dropped. Just get him back on the wing and he'll be fine for the rest of the season anyway.

Guest reefatoon Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 True, but I can also understand the shit he is getting. As our main attacking outlet against a third division team, his performance was shockingly bad. He wasn’t the only one mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unacceptable. He's not shit...but his attitude clearly is. Players fronting up or apologising after a defeat is completely pointless and means absolutely nothing. Ronaldo did the same last week.

Fantail Breeze Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Nobody is asking for an apology, but acting like a spoilt brat probably shows you what he’s like when things aren’t going well. Things aren’t going well for us and we certainly don’t need that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Could be that he was disappointed with his performance and the result, so wanted some time to himself.
