GA1972 9,472 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Not been a fan so far, when he’s playing that deeper role I don’t think he does a single thing worth talking about with or without the ball and that’s problematic Looked far more suited to playing a bit further forward tonight, getting to press forcing mistakes from the opposition and he did have a few nice touches. I remain unconvinced but he played his part well tonight and deserves credit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I posted above I would have bumped a thread if there was one Fair enough. I actually don't see much from him. Not enough to pay the fee for him. Has been good for rotation but people saying tonight was his best performance was slightly baffling for me and doesn't say much about him. Did his job tonight no less no more.

I think that's just supporters keeping a close eye on his development. It's pretty normal to assess players in detail after every game.

Essandoh 21,192 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I don’t understand why he’s been criticised at all At the moment I’d be happy if we signed him permanently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Chases around, marks players down, and quite good on the ball. All signs of what Gerrard expects. When he sits in midfield can pass the ball without pressure okay, but when further up the park doesn't seem to have much awareness of other blue shirts round him at times, but maybe that will get better with more games.

Broxi 11,473 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 He did well when he came on yesterday. I think he's been average with glimpses of nice stuff (long range balls, turns, performance yesterday). Don't think he's done anything which deserves criticism or the reaction he got when he was warming up yesterday. He's been fine and nothing else, done his job when he's been brought on. I do think there's a better player in there than what we've seen but at this stage we probably won't pay the £2.7m to keep him. But for a 'free' loan signing this season he's been useful.

graeme_4 34,347 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Did fine. Think he’s a decent player. Some are desperate for him to be shite to prove 2/3rds of the forum right, and some are desperate for him to be brilliant so they can prove their own point. Reality is he’ll probably be somewhere in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Traive 22,693 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Played a nice part in developing the move for Jack’s goal at the weekend and looked better last night than I’ve seen him. Warming to him a bit but £2.7m is a lot considering we got Kamara, Davis, Arfield and Jack for 50k in total. We've got another midfielder coming from Bournemouth and I’d really like to see the likes of young Dickson get more game time. If there’s movement in the fee, I’d take him because (Davis, Arfield, Jack average age 30+) the current guys won’t last for ever. If they insist on £2.7m, I’d pass.

STEPPS BOY 73,762 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Difficult to judge him as he’s not had the chance due to Davis and Kamaras form. If the fee is 2.7 million to sign him then i’d suspect we’d only be spending that on someone who would start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds_Bear 8,099 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Yep I've been a critic of his but that was certainly much better, sharper and quicker with the ball/into tackles. More of the same please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersInCanada 7,775 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 For me the jury is still out. He is still adapting to Scottish football and has until the end of the season to prove his worth. But I too would not pay 2.7M for him as things stand. He would have to greatly up his game to show that was worth that kind of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

five stars 1,630 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 He's had nowhere near enough game time to decide if he's going to make it with us or not. He's definitely got talent but whether he's right for the Scottish game remains to be seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,641 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 He reminds me a bit of Brahim Hemdami. Maybe not quite as good but we are a team who keeps possession and he is very good on the ball and creating space for himself. With more game time and a growing confidence, he may show a more willingness to adventure and take more gambles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
