I keep seeing the excuse that he hasn't had large numbers to train with. But why couldn't he just play in the reserves/behind closed doors games like injured players returning used to do in the past? Unless he was, but it seems weird that they keep mentioning that he hasn't had the rest of the team to train with as the reason why he can't get fit. 

 

Yeah I thought that too and also he's hardly played a minute for us the last few months, it's not like he's been playng 60mins 3 times a week

 

Feel there's been plenty of opportunity in the last 4 months to get him more up to speed

I don't personally buy the 'can't get fit due to low numbers in training' line.

 

You can get fit alone, you don't need 10 lads around you to do intense cardio work, you can set up cones for shuttle runs, you can do interval training on your own.

I remember clearly when we played Man City in the League Cup semis in January with Wissa starting up front and we were trying to go full press and Wissa just let one of their defenders stroll out of defence with the ball

 

I've never seen Eddie that angry on the touchline before and ever since then I feel as though he's completely lost trust in Wissa and what he's supposed to bring to the team

That's all fine and well, but still genuinely haven't seen him hit a ball cleanly in 14 hours of game time. Even his goals were sort of weird, either bouncing off him or scuffed.

If anything Clive, he caught his chance on Saturday too well

His finishing in that game was also atrocious. I remember he missed a couple of sitters and it was he first time I thought "uh oh, is he actually just shite?" But then we barely saw him play after that. So you are probably right, Eddie probably saw enough in that game to think he couldn't trust him.

Assista

Absolutely the most garbage assist I've ever seen. So bad. Luckily it didn't matter.

This.

 

Seemed to utterly shit his pants when he realised he was 1 on 1 with the keeper then the ball pinged off the keeper's hand to Barnes, wasn't even a clean pass.

 

Utterly bereft of confidence.

Doesn't count as an assist as it came off the goalie.

You'd think if you kept ballooning it over the bar you'd maybe try and keep your next chance down.

I've only been following the Premier League closely since this season. For me, Wissa remains one of the most incompetent strikers. You saw that in the last match and again today.

 

And before you all start badmouthing Nick again, you don't need to. Nick is leagues better. Your talk won't change my mind.

Should probably give yourself a bit more time to come to conclusions then tbf. :lol:

Actually thought he was doing ok until that honking miss. 
 

His lack of closing down is infuriating.
