Conjo Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 10 hours ago, Lush Vlad said: Still a great defender and he was tireless getting up and down all night. But I think his lack of quality on the ball is starting to become a minor problem. I might be imagining it. But it feels like teams are putting a bit more pressure on him when he is deep in our half. Plus when it is Botman inside on his wrong foot and then Murphy in front, who isn’t the best on the ball. He doesn’t have an easy out ball. The odd dribbling run aside, his quality on the ball has always been his weak point. Don't think its a problem though, just a limiting factor that he can't be used as a playmaking FB like Trippier & Hall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 He’s been half asleep so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 He is very good in “prepared” 1v1 defensively otherwise not very good. His awareness at times is shocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Very poor first half by him, Semanyo had the beating of him every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 He looks shit scared and was playing on the back foot from the first duel. That's not how you stop good wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Really poor today. He really needs to work on his crossing too. Had he ever put a good cross in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 First time I've I can remember him looking that poor defensively, just a really poor game from him all round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Worry on top, Trippier was fucking awful too and made no case for his appearances to warrant dropping Tino for a game or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
