Gazza1212 1,212 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 He tries, but I'd hoped for a much more influential player in this position. He's not alone I'm looking for a lot more to come from Arfield as well. If we are to to overcome the taigs next week both these guys will need to lift their game and by quite a bit at that.

simplythebestest 2,148 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I think if he can start getting two or three decent through balls that lead to goal scoring chances, and two or three decent shots on goal per game I'll be very happy with him. He's definitely talented and you can see he's got good footballing intelligence but needs to break out a bit and try to threaten more. I think he's too worried about giving possession away because he's been caught out a few times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middleton has been the player to do that out of him, Ejaria and Kent imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Seems to be better with more time to think on the ball, he looked good last night because he had plenty of space. He won’t get that in Scotland - I’m not convinced about him. He looks talented but might not be the best fit for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard using him as a player to retain the ball for us in midfield. Silky feet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5 2,159 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Best game so far the other night. Looks good until it comes to the final killer pass or the chance to shoot. Not what I was expecting when we first got him but he's a decent squad player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he's a decent enough squad player but alongside Kent and Candeias he is so far below what the scum have in those positions. Which is frustrating as we're arguably as good as them (and in some, better) in all other areas of the pitch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm saying, I was sold a player who's going to make the difference in the final 3rd. An exciting talent. Instead we're actually seeing a boy who looks more comfortable doing the ball retention side of things with the occasional cameo where he turns away from 2 or 3 men. It's early days though and he obviously has bags of talent. I don't want another CM, we need a CAM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamMunny 3,292 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Last 2 games he has been good. Gerrard said be patient as he will become a really good player for us this season. JukeBoxJohn 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McEwan's Lager 30,895 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I’ve been really critical of him and if I’m being honest thought today was the type of game he would go missing in but he was outstanding in the first half.

He does, the good thing is that it keeps defenders guessing but the bad things are that it also keeps his team mates guessing or he loses the ball. He's a good player and he will get better as the season goes on and he gets used to the physical aspect of play up here.

gsa 3,906 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 He was our best midfielder today. Assuming referees could do their job (I know) he could be a penalty winning machine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
