Cliffy Biro Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 He's barely played and did ok considering, obviously a few horror minutes but he is the least of our problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Played well tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Curtis Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I think his ball control and passing is dreadful. Better game last night but not nearly good enough yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 He's barely played and did ok considering, obviously a few horror minutes but he is the least of our problems. Yep. A big adjustment but an encouraging performance save for the error that led to a goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Looked decent apart from a couple of awful passes - 2nd goal was shocking but he was far and away our best player . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 mistake for the goal aside(why was no defender covering him) I felt he was our best player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Thought he was great on the whole, gives us real presence in the centre of midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Error apart was our best player.Still getting used to speed of league and got caught a few times but one balls in the air and positionally was sound and blocked alot of passes from QPR.

villa89 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 mistake for the goal aside(why was no defender covering him) I felt he was our best player Me too however he needs to speed up a little bit. He plays at a slower pace than most premier league games are played at. You don't get the same time on the ball in the premier league that you do in international football.

lapal_fan Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Obviously he was at fault for their second but before than he was dynamic and mobile, which about 80% better than anyone else in the team last night. Shame he has such a black mark against his name in an otherwise solid 7/10 performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 He was the best player on the pitch IMO, even taking the horrendous error in to account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 He needs to play every game from now on. He'll get up to speed quicker but he looks good technically and loves a tackle. I'd play Cleverley alongside him and see how they go. Our best player last night but that wouldn't be hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get the same time on the ball in the premier league that you do in international football. think the slower pace didnt help his midfielders werent further than 10 yards ahead of him. He would keep looking up and saw nobody and passed to Cissokho. was frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 The only positive coming out of yesterday. I thought he really was brilliant, the player that we thought we were signing that did so well in the World Cup. His reading of the game was excellent, time and time again he was nipping around their midfielders to steal the ball. He will only get better.

PieFacE Posted October 28, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 28, 2014 Best player on the pitch for 75 minutes, then completely lost his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulver Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 it says a lot that he was easily our best player last night despite that HUGE error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 He was very good but struggled once QPR changed formation and added an extra man in that midfield. Think that shows he still needs time and space. Lots of positives from yesterday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Awful. Made some good tackles and interceptions but ultimately i think we would be better with 10 men I think his ball control and passing is dreadful. Better game last night but not nearly good enough yet. Can't work out if these are sarcasm, trolling or one too many toots on the Crack Pipe? Glad most people seem to have seen his quality, I was worried about him becoming scapegoat for last night. Don't get me wrong the couple of minutes leading up to the goal were awful, but for the other 80 odd minutes, he really was excellent. Nice to see he is prepared to take a risk and tries to play it forward too. Will be an excellent addition IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I agree he was superb last night - stupid pass aside. But the issue is we have had about 3 or 4 players who have individually played brilliantly this season. It takes 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Agreed - you can tell how much training has improved his pace of play. He looked lost in the arsenal match, last night he was very well prepared, whenever he had the ball he looked for a quick pass. Very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
