Harry 209 Posted March 2, 2025 Share Posted March 2, 2025 10 minutes ago, Pilko said: Did nowt for me, today. Again. Seriously? I thought he looked our best player when he came on. Kept getting the ball forward, link play was tidy, looked like he really wanted to get involved, and even if you don't agree with that his delivery for Schär's disallowed goal was more than 'nowt'.

tinoasprilla Posted March 2, 2025 Share Posted March 2, 2025 Agree thought he was our stand out player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted March 2, 2025 Share Posted March 2, 2025 Not a fan of his performance today, he slowed things down on the ball and left gaps in midfield without it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J7 Posted March 2, 2025 Share Posted March 2, 2025 Aye he was our best player after coming on. Not sure he can be blamed for us not make more of the decent balls he was playing into the area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted March 2, 2025 Share Posted March 2, 2025 The lack of control over our midfield, particularly later second half and ET, was with him slap in the middle of it. Maybe my standards are higher than some others but when we needed someone to grab it by the scruff of the neck, he didn't do it, not for the first time lately either.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 2, 2025 Share Posted March 2, 2025 Thought he was class when he came on, just Isak had to go off so we were unlikely to score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only to keep him fresh, but also a reminder that you are only as good as your last game. Probably played about 75 minutes today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely I thought he really did try to take the game by the scruff of the neck and mostly succeeded. If the result had gone our way people would have said he was getting back to his best.

Lush Vlad Posted March 2, 2025 Share Posted March 2, 2025 Yeah. I thought he was a minor positive from today. Along with Tino at left back and Dubravka. Before they were sadly both at fault to some degree for Brighton’s second goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted March 2, 2025 Share Posted March 2, 2025 Shame Schar's goal was disallowed as Bruno's assist was magnificent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaj Posted March 2, 2025 Share Posted March 2, 2025 I thought he was terrible for the first 5 minutes and then settled well into the game and was one of our better players. Just wish he would give the ball quicker sometimes because he can do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted March 2, 2025 Share Posted March 2, 2025 He was the only one in the whole game actually looking to create today. He was trying everything to get the team going. I also thought Tonali played better when Bruno came on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted March 2, 2025 Share Posted March 2, 2025 Gave his all to make something happen. Unfortunately it looked impossible with us having to rely on Willock, Murphy or Wilson for the final touch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cunts on here would want rid of their gran the first time she burns the roasties. I don't want to sell him, he's one of our best players without a doubt. But he's also 27, so like Barnes there will be a window to maximise his resale value. Sorry to have to put this here, but I can guarantee if we are still hamstrung by PSR next season, the club will have to consider a sale if a big offer comes in. Right now we are being pushed to operate like Brighton, not Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted March 2, 2025 Share Posted March 2, 2025 Think he seems better suited to controlling the ball and passing it, probing for openings but that’s not really our game. When our midfielders get the ball the forwards run away from the ball, always hoping for a Hollywood pass. They rarely come off as that is the nature of such high reward/low probability of success passes. He seems a bit more reluctant to just bang it forward and hope than some of our other players so that’s why I think it looks like he’s slowing it down a bit. Because a good clean pass is not on.

LiquidAK Posted March 3, 2025 Share Posted March 3, 2025 https://www.instagram.com/p/DGvEltWiALB/?igsh=MXY3bzlxNnVjbjA1eg== Good captain behaviour that, the first paragraph about it being natural to look for someone to blame and it should be him. Clearly about Gordon and trying to take that weight from him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
