maqroll Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 He's a lot like Weimann, he runs around a lot like a pinball, and if something good happens at the end of it, yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa101 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 This is him, he isn't going to change, he was the same all the time at Man Utd but a bit of media hype about a young player getting a game there bizarrely saw him get England caps and stuff. He's shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Those two crosses about 35 mins into the first half were funny. Scuffed two in a row along the floor into the same player. Classic Man Utd hype. This guy got England caps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 He showed his worth tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Glad he's only on loan. He's done nothing to show that we should make the purchase in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 He's just shit. He was shit at UTD and he's shit for us. To think we could have got Diame for 3m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 There's no way we should be signing him. We can surely find an AM for £8m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Showed exactly what I thought he'd show, unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Doesn't score and doesn't create. The problem is when the same applies to most of your attacking players you don't f'in get many goals Lambo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 He is a good player. I think the players that have left us after looking terrible under Lambert prove that its not the players fault. If Martinez wants you, you're a good player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeParker91 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Why was he put out on the left? There goes the idea he was going to be used as an attacking centre midfielder then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Why in the name of god Lambert thinks a midfield of him and Westwood will work is beyond me ,they are basically the same player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are, and it was a baffling decision to bring this guy in. If we have truly got £8m to spend, then it needs to be spent on someone who can actually create chances and score goals. I'm not asking for the next David Silva, but in truth the next Chris Brunt would be a huge improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 28, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) I think Cleverley's (and Westwood's) problem in this team is that they're not attacking enough. They're both good at keeping the ball (Cleverley had 90% pass accuracy again last night) but with no other midfielder there to attack it doesn't really mean much. There's no use keeping the ball and passing it to Westwood or Sanchez. At some point one of them has to make that link between midfield and attack. And without Delph we simply don't have it (and Delph is hardly amazing at it) It's all well and good being a water carrier, there's a place for it, but without any penetration in our midfield it's useless. We need more from our midfielders while Delph is out. If we had incisive wingers then that could substitute. But we don't have that either.

Strangeways Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Cleverleys problem is he has to play with Westwood, i seriously think Messi would struggle with westwood backing him up. Cleverley played ok last night he wasnt bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this , both Westy and Cleverly and good at keeping the ball and passing it with high completion rates but they lack penetration in passing and running with the ball.This is made worse when the only out ball is the full back nothing in front of them and just pass it back to them. Cleverly is not a bad player but in this system with Westwood he is a waste of time really.If you have a 3 man midfield like last night you need some cutting edge from the forwards either getting out wide or dropping deep into space.N'zogbia behind Benteke would work better than last night and criminal Grealish is not on the bench.He may be young but at least he can run with the ball and offers something different which is worth a space on the bench IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 8m? No chance, I hadn't seen much of him prior to him joining us and I've seen enough to be happy if he is sent back to Utd in January. Save the money, not worth it. 2m at most and then only as a back up player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
