AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I assumed he was coming on to play LW and try and score a goal on the counter. There's no point having him on for anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Rather Osula comes on at RW and Barnes upfront to use his pace and nominally press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Barnes needs minutes to get up to speed. Probably should be starting one of the next two games because we need him to be more match sharp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lad is useless on the right flank and Gordon isn't much better on the right either. Hopefully we can get our money back in the summer he's a good player but his limitations are a bit of an issue for us imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can get our money back in the summer he's a good player but his limitations are a bit of an issue for us imo. Probably for Gordon midweek against Liverpool. It’s a squad game and we’ve spent £40m on him so he needs to be trusted to start games, and we need him more sharp for when he is called upon. Has it’s positives a same XI every week, but it also leads to squad players being off the pace when they are required. Got a cup final coming up, potentially good chance of any cup final run and still UCL run in. Rotation is going to be needed from here on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 He's not starting against Liverpool imo. Howe might schedule Gordon in for 2x 60-70 minute games as a way of resting. That's the Bruno G "rest". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted Sunday at 16:30 Share Posted Sunday at 16:30 Doesn’t step up next three games, then I’m not having any chat he has to stay. He’s the luxury signing for depth and now needs to show it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted Sunday at 18:16 Share Posted Sunday at 18:16 Don't rate him massively, but I thought he did well for the first 20 mins or so. Looked less clumsy on the ball than Murphy IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted Sunday at 18:17 Share Posted Sunday at 18:17 (edited) I personally like him, given a run he would be dangerous. Just wonder about his physical ability to track back and forward all game. He moves very smoothly and efficiently with the ball and goes past people easily. As well as being a good shooter off both feet and a good finisher. Edited Sunday at 18:18 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted Sunday at 18:19 Share Posted Sunday at 18:19 Hot garbage. Looks bereft of any confidence and doesn’t do enough work enough off the ball for me, despite his ability to score a goal when he can be arsed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Mover Posted Sunday at 18:19 Share Posted Sunday at 18:19 He can only play in one position and in one way, and Gordon starts instead of him and Big Joe should start ahead of him when Gordon is out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
