Boybluesy 3,708 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Thought he was anonymous yesterday. In the last few seconds he got into a good position in the box and never picked anyone out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 He was being man marked by Brown. Often doubled up on with Brown and Frimpong. He had no space and was being crowded out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nk89 1,286 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 He should do what barry mckay used to do...stand on the touchline and isolate the right back for a one on one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 They could’ve tried switching wing but I suspect Brown and McGregor would’ve swapped positions and he would still have been getting man marked. We maybe could’ve explored the space left if we had an attacking centre mid of a quality RW but we don’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 If he falls apart because a bang average Lego man marks him then he wasn’t worth 7mill. The man marking never stopped him making himself available for balls into the box where he continually made the wrong run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had no space to run at people and cause havoc the way he normally does. Barisic was too busy marking Forest so there was no overlapping full-back and little support.

Stewart deserves a chance out there on the right. He’s played that position plenty for other sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch the game again you’ll notice Brown was never more than a few feet from Kent. When Kent had the ball he had two men on him instantly. Kent wants to pick up the ball and run at defenders but there wasn’t the space for that and very little players supporting him. We should be exploiting the space left by Brown but we don’t have the attacking central midfielders to do that. Aribo seen plenty of the ball but he can’t make anything happen because he’s not a RW.

HuistraHairDo 12,490 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 He was absolutely raging when Morelos came in from the right and never squared it to him, instead had a shot and big hermun munster saves with his legs, I was screaming for him to square it aswell tbf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not have had a great game, but he kept them occupied. It is no coincidence that he was quiet but they didn’t ever get a grip of midfield. All our players were doing their bit, even Kent IMO. My major annoyance is that we didn’t create nearly enough in the second half. I think Gerrard got the subs wrong, but they also got a lift from their striker coming on, as well as the 10 man effect.

He had no space and was being crowded out. Exactly this. He still played an important role tbh, as that much attention on one player means more freedom for others. He’s never going to be Mr. Consistent, he’s just not that sort of player, but even when he has a quiet game he’s still capable of flashes of brilliance that we won’t get from elsewhere.
