Moody Blue 9,282 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 We don’t get the kind of return his value suggests, he’s not suited to us long term. We need far more pace in the team and he still looks like he runs in treacle. He’s be better of in Italy or somewhere far more technical than our shitehole.

TheKingObv 10,599 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Honestly think this is the highest level he'll play at, which is ultimately fine. Far too immobile to go the next level in the modern game. The Specky Forum Organiser, JCDBigBear, HG5 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanksRFC 3,866 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Don't think I've seen a player with his athleticism being so slow. Looks like he's towing a bus. He's a good player but does frustrate a lot. JCDBigBear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaaRFC 4,683 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Underhits passes and set pieces constantly, it’s as if he’s playing with a weighted ball. Has quality in moments, which he showed last season earning us a few vital points. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to give him a few more months under Gio to see if he can kick on, he stagnated (regressed?) under Gerrard It’s his pace mate that worries me. He must be our slowest player. Can do brilliant things at times but not enough times for my liking. Fuck, I think Davis is faster than him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast 9,121 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 In GvB's 4-2-3-1 system he needs to play in the middle of the 3. He's wasted otherwise. ZZed and AljayBoy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valance1690 3,794 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 He's a man down for us right now, can't afford to carry him over the next few games, especially away at Hearts, Sheep & Taigs JCDBigBear and falkirkNS 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick1200 2,820 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 The first few games of the season he was the only player with pass marks. He was brilliant until he got injured. Since then he hasn't been great. I agree he needs to play in the middle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGM_72 3,534 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Had a poor game, off form just now. He's always lacked pace but he'll no doubt pop up with a contribution over the next month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Williamson. 81,461 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Needs dropped for awhile. I like him but he’s well off it atm Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusDa Beasley 1,010 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I haven’t rated him from the beginning but gave him the benefit of the doubt as we hadn’t seen much of him in that number 10 role. Sadly, he’s not great there either. One killer pass every half a dozen games isn’t enough. We need better in there, such a key position if we want to start burying teams again.
