Ryan Fraser (now playing for Southampton)

[Kid Icarus]

Wee man deserves some love. He tired but until then he was excellent and a massive pain in the arse for Liverpool

 

I hope the people who clumped him in with Murphy realise how daft they've been

Infinitely better on the left than the right.

Miggy too. We love a good leftie on the right.

[Guest HTT II]

He ran his bollocks off last night, but he’s showing his lack of pace these days. A good outing in terms of effort, however.

He always does. He'll be a fantastic sub when we're fully fit. Him and Elliott [And possibly Almiron if we play Wilson and Isak together.] should be enough to ensure we never see Murphy again.

Cant start the next game. Been offering nothing for two games.

[Donut]

Looked like he could be a player last season but he has been abysmal so far in this one.

[Pilko]

Total crap. His party piece of hitting the keeper with every single cross hurt us today.

[et tu brute]

He's absolutely shite like 

[TRon]

Worst player on the pitch by some distance. On a day when we really needed some pace and aggression from Maxi to unlock a packed defence, instead we got this hobbit playing like he'd only had one breakfast.

[Beth]

He's just a younger version of Ritchie.

[ExiledGeordie]

He really was dreadful yesterday. That strike in the first half was decent

but he had a great chance in the second half he should’ve buried. His passing was woeful. 

[Kid Icarus]

He had a bad game, I don't think that means he's bad overall and doesn't offer anything. Likewise Almiron who's very limited on his best days had a worse day than usual. Likewise Joelinton, Schar, Bruno, Targett, Trippier to an extent. Everyone was off it.

Hes an attacking player like Almiron. They dont make goals or assists. 1 or 2 per season of both. Its shocking.

Back end of last season Fraser was like. He's been generally good under Howe.

Like everyone he had an upturn. He cant get past his man, he doesnt set up other players in the team, his delivery is ok but thats about it. He gratfs like Almiron but the stats dont lie.

[Gallowgate Toon]

He's a proper counter attacking player. Doesn't have the skill or acceleration to get things turned against a deeper side. Frustratingly, Almiron shows flashes of this but then refuses to use his right foot.

Almiron actually was very lively yesterday, he made some great runs, and worked some very dangerous positions, but once he got there, as usual, he had no idea where to go.

 

Fraser was just unable to get in the game because there was no space, and he hasn't got the tools to make any. As Gallowgate Toon has said above, he's a counter attacking player, he needs a head start on defenders otherwise they can usually shut him down pretty easily.

Yeah they are lively and graft every freaking game, but they are attacking players and they dont deliver what they are supposed to do. They wouldt be near the start eleven for most PL teams.

Another player bought to suit our counter attacking style [as if]. Did well with out backs against the wall last season, but lacks the skills to dominate the game.

Bournemouth fans hate him

Isn't that because he essentially went on strike and refused to play for them, before he signed for us?

 

I don't dislike him. The same as Almiron, he grafts every match and gives 110%, but he lacks the real quality we need to move up to the level we want to be.

Ive been very critical of Almiron. Ive also said Murphy and Fraser are just as good. I was so wrong. Fraser just dont do anything. At least Almiron has pace very few defenders have. He sets up play with Bruno and Trippier. I know its more difficult with Targett but there is just nothing going on.
