STM Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Genuinely thought he struggled yesterday, especially in the first half. It wasn't so much what he could do with the ball in their half but more the way him and Shelvey dicked around with it in our half. There was however, a couple of moments where you could see his class. In particular at the end of the first half where he whipped a ball in, which Willock should have done better with. I want him to control games for us, that's what we need to see next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixx Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 On the whole he looked good last night. He's gonna need a few games to adjust to the pace, you're not afforded the same time on the ball as in Ligue 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Yeah he struggled a bit and all that but at the same time i have seen enough glimpses so far so im 100% certain he'll be one hell of a player for us soon once he adapts properly. Then things will come more naturally for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Geese Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Who has the confidence to volley a back heel goal on his full debut I’m declaring it now, the lad will contribute to Winning us a Trophy ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a brilliant goal, and spectacular to watch but it's not something that I think is practiced and 95 times out of 100 it doesn't work out. Luck isn't a factor if you intended it. Luck is when it happens if it was by accident or chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iklgizmo Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 It reminded me of that Robert goal, I think against Fulham?? Did what he needed to do with his body to get the contact he needed! Pure class! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went for it, generated the power and the direction. No luck. Also did anyone hear Ando’s commentary. “It’s a simple goal”. I thought I was a negative guy but fucking hell Ando man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Showed some great touches and movement but was knackered after an hour and started to misplace passes. Just shows the pace of PL games. Once he's up to speed he'll be awesome Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Interesting to read the various reports on his performance yesterday. I didn't see the game myself, but fans seemed to be split on here on the posts which I read in the match thread, but according to the Times reporter he was our best player.

gbandit Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Was definitely not our best player but he delivered a fantastic cross to Willock which should have been put away and scored a wonder goal. The rest of his play was hit and miss, gave it away cheaply a few times. I’d give him a 7, based on the overall performance because he didn’t control the midfield. He’s clearly going to be amazing though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes a noise when it goes in and laughs when he realises how he's put it in. 6m55: https://www.nufc.co.uk/nufc-tv/highlights/southampton-a-highlights-21-22/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I'd really like to see him in a game where we have some possession, like. He'll be phenomenal when he's not spending all his energy chasing. Can't put my finger on why we aren't having more possession. Our full backs have more of the ball than anyone else so I guess we should be better when Trippier's back. Whatever we're doing is working though I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he seemed to put the blame all on the players iirc I think that's the BBC stance tbh. Absolutely shit-scared to call a manager out for fear of losing access. Listen to Total Sport and on either side, when a manager's under pressure, Ando or Gabbiadini (or whoever's standing in) won't call for their head.
