HaydnNUFC Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Quite poor tonight though it was his first competitive start since December 2021. Needs game time, should loan him out to the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Manquillo came in and did a job despite being "rusty", he's just not up to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I don’t know what has happened to the lad - he was highly rated when we signed him. He was really poor against a third tier side here. If anyone can get the lad up to speed it’s Howe and his coaching team - but I’ve seen nothing so far to suggest that the lad has what it takes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 This lad’s record for us must be staggeringly bad, in terms of games won when he’s played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Not sure any loan will sort this lad out, I’ve never seen owt like it. He gets the ball and his first instinct no matter where he is on the pitch is to turn back on himself. Fucking useless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BennyBlanco Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Oh god he was dross tonight. Like really really bad. Touch, awareness, general pace and positioning - all fucking shite. Dead wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I just checked - and while I’m sure most are already aware of this it somehow had slipped my mind - the lad is 25 this month. He should be in his prime, he’s not a kid anymore. Somehow I had it in my head that he was about 20/21. Needs shipping out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t remember hearing much of anything about him before he was linked with us. Maxwell Aarons was the one who was rated highly. He’s shown nothing during his time here to be anything other than he was, a cheap buy for Ashley to cover a hole in the squad who was young and who he hoped would develop somehow so he could sell him on. He’s not up to the challenge and I can’t say he would even do the job for any decent Championship teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool were after him at the time - but Norwich were asking for more than they were happy to pay. Liverpool bid £10m but it was turned down https://www.rousingthekop.com/2021/12/16/jamal-lewis-set-for-thankless-task-after-nearly-signing-for-liverpool-in-2020/?amp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 He made one overlapping run in the first half which was electric, and I thought here we go, he started poorly but now he's in gear. Then he went back into his shell for the rest of the match. He's got the all the physical assets, but no drive or fight in him. He's like a left back version of Murphy.

The Prophet Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Needs first team football. It's probably best for everyone if he moves on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I thought he showed something when he first signed but it was a little worrying how shite he was yesterday. He needs a really good run of games in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then subsequently was absolutely shocking and got dropped in his main position for a winger Championship is far above the level Lewis is good for.

Guest Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 He showed good potential at Norwich in the PL and would have been a Liverpool player before they got the Greek lad if they weren't priced out. Liverpool saw him as a lower fee with add-ons type player they could develop while playing Robertson but we paid the going rate as a regular and had Steve Bruce.

jonny1403 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Need to loan him to a top 6 championship club that will support him and gain his confidence back playing in a winning team then sell him this summer or next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants to build a career he need a loan and we need to get a full back in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
