I still thought his final pass was wasteful on a few occasions but his skills and quick feet meant he was a constant threat until he tired towards the end. He’s certainly more effective when he’s given freedom to play further up the park than he is when he plays deeper in a midfield three. Do you think we should keep using him out there rather than in a central position where it’s harder to get away with drifting in and out games or is it just a stop gap until Jones is fit or we sign somebody else in January? thought tonight kent should have been played wide and Joe told to have a free role Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best game perhaps. Thought he was really good against celtic too, even if he didn't manage to maintain it for the whole match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEE 4,880 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Willing to take it in the neck but at this stage I reckon he’s utter dog shit. Overall think he’ll flatter to deceive and we’ll punt him for a small profit - not up for the fight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
superallysbears 7,580 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I stuck 50 quid on him at half time to score the next goal at 14/1, wish he would just stick the laces through it sometimes, instead of doing that daft move ov his all the time. Thought he played well first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace 3,556 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 He was excellent in first half, fell away in 2nd but then so did much of the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky. 6,926 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Genuinely think he's played really well in the last few games he's played wide. He's a bit slow in terms of pace, and decision making but his ball control is unbelievable at times. What's not going so good is the fact that we have lacked wins since he's gone out-wide - not that I think there's a correlation there though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 2nd half he stayed wide, shagger kept trying to find him at kick outs and ended up to far away from Morelos to link up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smell the hotdog 4,015 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 People have been far too critical of him. When played in the middle he has to cover Borna when he goes forward which doesn’t allow him to get forward and be effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze 14,531 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Had one of his better games last night. Won plenty headers, but drifted away as YB changed tactics after that big fella came on. needs to take some confidence from his first half showing and turn that into consistency Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross-Gazza genius 1,907 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 To be honest I've not been a fan but he did play better last night. However I will stick by that he and Arfield can't play in the same team as they are far too similar and end up getting in each others way. I'd much rather we played a natural winger rather than force him or Arfield out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenders 272 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Like Arfield I think he has skills that works at that RM position but its not where he is suited. He would be dynamite for us in a 4-2-3-1 behind Morelos where he plays for Nigeria but in Gerrards 4-3-3 when central hes far too deep to show his skills and eye for a pass. Having him playing ahead of Davis and Jack instead of in line with them would get the best out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 He needs time to get used to it and it’s clear he needs to work on his fitness and strength but there were signs he and Tav could spark up a great partnership down the right.

andyhrfc 2,242 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Watched him more closely over recent games. Don’t think we get the best out of him. He is constantly moving into space around the box and inviting a killer pass which often doesn’t arrive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
