Was very good in that after having an extremely underwhelming few months beforehand. First game he really got midfield partners with mobility and movement, theres a player in there he just needs more around him i think graeme_4, esquire8 and Laudrupsleftfoot 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacBoyd 6,074 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Clearly a skillfull player but not doing enough. I was also having a think does our massive gaps in midfield no coincide with when he joined.

Good point.There are times we seem completely overrun in midfield. Maybe Lundstram did give us a bit of protection Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone better than Lawrence was playing then we'd be less likely to be overrun and cut through midfield. Dio would be better one place forward.

He is very skillfull and could be a great player for us, but he is piss weak in a Scottish context. He sometimes makes opposition players look diddy, but he doesn’t offer a huge amount of protection. Perhaps playing him further forward as ha been suggested will unlock the best in him. I should probably make it clear that I like him. 😄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGM_72 4,065 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Think he's a good player who is often a bit careless. System doesn't help him, nor does our CBs either punting it or being afraid to find him with a pass that isn't a simple 5 yarder.

Also - Matondo is much better than Wright and linked well with Jefte. OK, his final ball still leaves a lot to be desired, but he did cause their defence loads of problems. If we can sign another CM and move Sterling back to RB or sign another RB and drop Tav, we will look so much better. Albion 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPPS BOY 77,603 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 £4.5 million for him is absolutely mental when you watch him. A midfielder who doesn’t really contribute much. His fitness is also shocking.

SeparateEntityMyArse 55,399 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Absolutely no reason why he doesn't permanently replace Lawrence after yesterday's showing. Albion 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
goaaaal 998 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I just don't. See it with this guy at all yesterday was a prime example of not even.lookimg for or wanting the ball from either wide left or through his own channels . He points to play it back the way rather than take a pass in space or even close quarters where you at least should be able to demonstrate a good first touch and seen the options for a pass or just charge on with the ball. It's not encouraged by Clement otherwise we wouldn't be so fucking negative contrast Barron who came in as a sub and provided the midfield spark and mobility tackling and dig needed . The games are passing him by and he's not demonstrating.anywhere near a sufficient contribution right now he's a waste of a jersey as is that Matondo. He doesn't think on his feet with little or no anticipation that is a poor footballer when you can't even impose yourself on a game consistently.

I agree that's probably our strongest side right now, given Cortes' injury. Which is pretty depressing, tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just never looks fully in control of the ball to me. He has a strange style, and has to improve two fold as I'm not really seeing it with him. In patches he looks decent at times but falls out the game for long periods. HG5 and BlueAvenger 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
