Prso's headband 35,600 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Portugese Barrie Mckay on the left tonight. Got clattered once and wasn't in the game for the rest of it. Liked the look of Candeias tbh, thought Jack was our best player Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got two of their players booked, one of which should have been sent off. Miller shouldn't have been shifted to midfield, but I thought Jack played his role very well. He's not going to be a spectacular stand out, but he will do the dirty work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyruff 622 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Cardoso - my MOTM, given he lasted the pace and was steady throughout, even managing to look dangerous in their box. Niko was our most dangerous and creative but his fitness is a problem especially when you consider how our game dropped off when he was subbed, we will need more from him in terms of mins on the park if he's to be our most influential player. Jack - solid and dependable. Improvement on last year's offerings certainly. Dalcio - some nice touches in first 25 mins but nothing much produced from them, then he was very quiet. Candeias - good turn of speed, looked eager but in need of games to get his touch, good crossed. Morelos - never saw enough of him to form an opinion. Seems to want to play on the defender's shoulder and may have the pace to do so. Rossiter - not new but feels like it. Solid performance, good to see him standing up to tackles and getting tore in. Could provide some authority in the middle alongside Jack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lloyd72 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Thought Candeias played a bit like Novo, good pressing and quick too, had a few decent crosses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewaj3 1,446 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Ryan jack reminds me of kevin thomson. I like that he gets stuck in, tidy passer, always looking to take the ball off the defence and start attacks with simple passes. Cardoso already looks a class above last years centre backs and looks like a top buy Dalcio well I'm not writing him off yet, but he created nothing. Candeias didn't do much either but showed he's a worker. Morelos, had no service which I've mentioned is the biggest minus for me. Star man was niko, with the ball head and shoulders above everyone. Still not sure he should start every game as the legs are gone, but his passing and technique are head and shoulders over everyone. On this showing wouldn't have dalcio or candeias over mckay, who may have anonymous games but is equally capable of winning games on his own.

Was it ortiz or sionko that worked hard, wasnt great at getting past his opponent or quite good enough with the final ball/finish? Or both? He reminded me more of whichever one of them im thinking of. Hopefully im wrong and we see more when he's fully fit. More hope for him than dalcio.

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Jack had a great game. Cardoso looked solid enough and comfortable on the ball other than a couple of wobbly moments. Dalcio started well but faded badly in the 2nd half. Needs to be a bit more direct. Candeias looked like he has a bit of pace and can produce a half decent cross. Never really showed anything else though and seemed to be trying too hard. Morelas didn't get a chance to show anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK92GERS 807 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Dalcio was getting some stick in the stands constant shitebag getting yelled out thought he looked lively early on but heard a few people write him off think it's far to early for that other than him I felt the others had solid debuts jack impressed too candeias looks decent very direct and can whip in some nice crosses still feel we're lacking out wide though nothing Nani wouldn't sort though....

I may be being a bit harsh on him because I thought we disappointed in the 2nd half , creating little , other than the flurry at the end . Of course that's not just down to him , and if the topic hadn't just been about the new signings I could have mentioned a few others for not creating enough too . Like I say , we need to give them time before judging any of them too harshly . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lockin 3,913 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Can't believe some of the comments on here about various players - most people watching the game tonight could have played most of the so called tidy passes tonight- fuckin tidy passes don't win games an take big Niko out of the game it would have been utter dross - not having a go at Ryan Jack more the people who said he had a great game, he was man of the match and he did the dirty work - dirty work against a pub team - please Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked the look of Candeias tbh, thought Jack was our best player Once candeias settles he'll be one of the first names on the team sheet, seen him playing for Granada against Espanyol. He was their number 7 for the second half of the season and he really stood out. Quick, aggressive and good passer of the ball. Not a fancy player but very direct. Should work out well imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are righting him off already ffs Think Cardosa looks really composed and like he could play on a 2 or a 3. Jack was excellent and did his job looking comfortable all night. People aren't righting him off, people are saying he was pish, which he was. That "cross" was an embarrassment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moody Blue Legend 61,660 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Cardoso should partner Alves well. Jack played well enough and should be a good signing. The rest??? Underwhelmed with that showing last night, first game or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The No.9 760 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 We played too predictable like under warburton all sideward passes or long balls over the top, only good thing is it's very early in the year nvm the season so we have time to improve if we can. Felt jack strolled it but played far to safe not one pass forward. Cardoso should do well with Alves but his passing was woeful hopefully just a bad game on that note. Really hope Pena , Herrera and Morelos will get plenty of game time the next few games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quabba 440 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 From what I could see Dalcio didn't offer anything more than McKay does. Cardoso - looks very good, could be a great buy. Solid and good passing. Should be really comfortable playing next to Alves Dalcio - Looked lively in opening 20 minutes but first stiff tackle and hardly seen the rest of the game. No better than McKay Candeias - looked quite decent when he came on. Good pace and can fire in crosses. Should get better the more game time he gets. Jack - Strolled it. Sometimes the easy pass is the best one. should do fine and will be a good addition Morelos - Never got a touch when he came on. I've got high hopes as he comes with an impressive scoring record. He's got to be better than Waghorn. Still a bit disappointed with the result as it makes return leg bit more tricky. Hopefully the new guys gel quickly and we crack on from here.

StirlingBear72 476 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Morelos looked really eager to get in behind. Looking forward to him moving forward. Time will tell with all these new guys really! So long as Waghorn leaves. It'll be my favourite piece of business this summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Deacon 55,507 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Caniedas looks direct. Every time he got the ball he was driving forward. He'll probably create us a good few goals over the season with that style. Someone here compared him to novo. I understand where they get that from.
