arnonel Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 His passing and decision making is poor, but I put that down to confidence He is amazing with the ball at his feet though. Quite a few forward runs into space, which was great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 On 05/12/2021 at 14:04, Lush Vlad said: Still think he is good on the ball going forward and his late runs into the box offer us something that nobody else brings from that position. He seems shit scared to put a foot in or challenge for a header, though. Considering he plays centre mid, that’s unacceptable. I still really like him. But feels shoehorned into the team at the minute. The 2 of him and Shelvey leaves us massively exposed. Lost count of the time and hooked clearance or random hoof up the pitch would land straight on a Burnley player’s foot. The space between the back 4 and midfield was huge. He does some good stuff going forwards, and he does make excellent runs into the box, but one of those times where he bottled a 50-50 almost cost us a goal. Ultimately that side of his game is why Arsenal let him go, I hope Howe can get him to take more responsibility in that regard. Otherwise he'll end up being moved on again.

Yorkie Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Literally the exact same story as Kenedy here, like. Turning out to be an absolutely terrible signing at £25million and absolutely Bruce-era-ariffic. No real thought to whether or not it was the right signing or where he'd actually fit. Just an assumption that he'd carry on scoring every week. Nowt more inevitable than this lad's form totally nosediving. Needs removing from the team ASAP tbh.

Amir_9 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 He's been given more than enough time to find form and has fluffed it. Really shouldn't even be starting but a shame that the other options are also shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 He should be dropped for sure, but he's also being played in the wrong position. No way is he a functional CM as part of a 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 No idea why he's even in the side. We're short of options but you can put literally any other player, including Karl Darlo, in his place and we'll be no worse off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesy Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Drop him, he’s been crap all season. There’s a good player in there but we can’t afford to allow him time to play himself into form in the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Merse Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Not bringing anything to the team except the odd colback foul near our penalty box - not the only poor performer today but dear me he looks half arsed to be there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Awful awful awful, i would even have Hendrick ahead of him on this form, he's not supposed to play in that sort of position, nor should we play a midfield with not one player that can help the defense out.

Kid Icarus Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Totally understand if Howe's playing some sort of game to try and get the best out of him, but I've got absolutely no idea what that might be and at the moment it's definitely not working. How he was still on the pitch beyond 45 minutes let alone at the end is beyond me. Shelvey came off but put in far more work than Willock did, which says it all considering Shelvey's limitations.

Sifu Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Today has definitely confirmed that Willock prefers more time and space/freedom to function as a competent footballer, he clearly can't handle additional responsibilities in a two man midfield and just panics on and off the ball. It's actually got to a point where you can see Shelvey covering for Willock's deficiencies and that speaks volumes. Time to take him out of the team and put Hayden in (certainly for the next 3 matches). What a bitter disappointment he's turning out to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Did we honestly think he would keep scoring goals this season? I saw very little from his all round play last season to suggest he was worth signing and paying the price Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only as part of a three though, with two players behind him basically mopping up and doing the nitty gritty. Thing is though, if we are to have an AM in a three, I think I'd rather have Almiron in there as think that's as close we'll get him to playing in his natural #10 position without actually playing him there.

sh74 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 He probably single handedly kept us up with his goals last season. If we play him in the right position i think he can be effective again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
