He isn’t going to be effective in this system - if you look back at his Villa goals it’s what we used to see with Rob Lee (or like with Sandro in min 1) the system will never get the best out of him

Don’t think he offers anything at all that matters. 


Possibly due to the system but it scares me shitless that we have spent mega on 3 players that basically have provided zero output and I can’t see it changing any time soon - it’s massively concerning now - Wissa maybe but I see more of the same

I wouldn't mind seeing him get a run at left wing because I've still yet to see what he does that other midfielders we have don't. 


I am sure some Villa fans said that was his position

Barnes can't even get a start there because of Gordon, so this kids got nee chance!!

Where is his fierce running from his Villa time gone?


Probs due to a lack of games - there’s no rhythm or complete match sharpness there

I thought he did pretty well today. Lovely through ball to Wissa and was generally tidy in possession. 
 

I don’t fully see what he brings beyond that but there’s definitely hope he can build on what he’s shown to date.

Exactly this. Looked to take the ball on the half-turn, go at players, play balls through the line, when he came on. Then realised that no-one else was on the same page, so fell in line with the left to right, right to left gameplan.

Saw him live and thought he was pretty good, not sure why he’s getting slammed again, he was decent today, 

He's getting "slammed" because he cost 40m is meant to be attacking midfielder and has zero goals and zero assists. 

 

I think the criticism is actually mild, he's not a bad player but he doesn't appear to be the answer to any questions we have and thus at this stage (hopefully it changes) it's a of money.

For EH’s tactics to work we need a midfield that outruns the opposition and kicks the shit out it. 
Ramsey doesn’t offer that. Tonali can outrun them and JL and Bruno have the nasty streak. 
The rest have talent, Miley especially but doesn’t really fit our blueprint of being more physical by every metric.

Willock used to have a great engine but he looks a bit broken now.
