Gallowgate Toon Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I would try him in the midfield 3, like, particularly if we're playing Wood who will occupy defenders in the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Can understand why Arteta was happy to offload this chap; nigh-on useless in a possession based system. Really need to figure out how to effectively counter-attack in a low-block, as our team just fall apart when defending the lead. Can only really see Willock’s utility in that type of setup tbh.

The team have consistently fallen apart from around 70 minutes all season. The fitness and conditioning is so poor, Willock is another example of that. Looks overweight compared to last year, slower, lethargic, clumsy on the ball. If we assume this is down to how Steve Bruce prepared them for the season, how can we undo all of that mid season?

LRD Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 We forget that he is still young at 22. Hopefully he will grown into a decent player even if he is currently shot to bits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 The better teams are able to keep the ball for 20/30 passes without the opposition getting a touch. If we manage 3 passes before losing it it's a miracle. As said before, Willock doesn't seem to fit In with possession based football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need rid, attitude isn't there, only played under the fat waster who likely let him dick about with training and he tried for us under a loan spell to make him visible and earn coin. Second we buy him, can't be arsed. I don’t know if it’s always been like this but the assumptions and leaps people have been making about players lately on the back of poor performances is pathetic and embarrassing to the fan base. You read this type of thing about ASM, Lascelles etc all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all means criticise the performances, or aspects of their game, but a lot of stuff gets said about attitudes and wanting to be away, which for all we know, might just be fan's making stuff up from their own imaginations.

There is a player in there somewhere, playing just off the striker would get the best from him IMO. Need to get him further up the pitch (which is hard to do ATM) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Ball watching as bad as I’ve seen at one point, jogging back, looking left and right and straight ahead to the ball, next thing you know he’s still doing that very thing but 2 players are in and behind him, he turns and looks confused to fuck. I’ve seen more co-ordinated brain to body movement from a zombie in some shitty 80s horror straight to Beetamax flick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Thought he's been good on the ball at times but looks absolutely spent off it. He looked injured when he was jogging back at 35 minutes. I think there's more to this than meets the eye. Didn't someone on here say he was getting injections in his foot to continue playing? I wonder if one of the side effects is having Ronaldo's brain...in the '98 World Cup Final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Been lots of speculation as to why the dip in form, was he low on fitness, lack of confidence, playing with an injury etc.. Nope, we have our answer. It’s his fucking attitude. Doesn’t want to be here and signed the deal here for all the wrong reasons. He can get fucked.
