Turnberry18 3,204 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 4 minutes ago, RedWhiteBlue1872 said: He should be up to speed, new cultures and surroundings is one thing but looking woefully short of fitness in near October is unacceptable. You could argue that he had some sort of impact on Brown and tried to get close, however it should be the other way around. I don't know he gave the ball away a lot at the weekend and I think time is running out on him, he needs to get more aggressive in his play fast. He has two things very evident in his game, touch, and spacial awareness; he has great touch on the ball, his ability to find space is something he makes look very easy. Those two things are the mark of quality; if he can get fitter and sharper then he may end up being a good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger4life_1872 29,454 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Looks good without the ball (makes good runs , positions himself well) , even made a few good passes , but doesn't look like he can run with the ball - he was caught on it a cpl of times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored in the other and done some really nice stuff. He is not up to speed yet, but he is getting there. He needs games and I think he needs more than that. Even with a great pre-season, I never felt match fit till I had 6 solid games under my belt. I'm looking at him though and not seeing it. I'm by far never one to judge players or managers too early. This guy needs a salah type progression in the next few games to change my view on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennybongo 110 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 He is a skillful player no doubt, but his lack of fitness is an utter joke at this point. He's also painfully slow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You observations tie in with a Spanish language article I saw a week or so back, where folk whilst admiring his ability was worried about his attitude. I hope he sorts out his fitness and that he is not somehow 'sulking or unhappy', that could be problematic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd like to think these two things would come with the package, but football has had so many very good players that lacked the dedication needed to stay at the top; hopefully he isn't one of them. It is also the last thing we need at this time as well, if he doesn't improve. Is there a link to that by the way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a certain physicality players need to get used too. Morelos, herrera, pedro and Alves bave even said as much. The guy deserves a chance to get upto speed, it's a difficult area to excel.

AyrshireBlue 449 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 He's been desperately unlucky with some of his passing. Seeing him live he has a canny ability to find himself in great positions where a quick ball into his feet would see him have a split second more time on the ball. Unfortunately for him, Dorrans doesnt do quick balls into feet! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
