andym Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 yeah had that one really good moment but aside from that kept running with his head down into dead ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Should of stand on for Ayew, he was just starting to do something. Tim made the wrong call. Still needs to get more into the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 He was OK, he tried and had a couple of decent runs but was a headless chicken with no end product for the most part. Not convinced he should be a starter for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) I thought he was really poor. I thought it was the right decision to take him off because when he's not on it he's not on it and there is nothing going to change. To be honest any one of the front three could have came off and it wouldn't have mattered much. Again, I'm looking forward to Gil, Grealish and Traore coming in ASAP.

AshVilla Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Average Would be a squad player in any midtable side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Not good enough imo. Ayew I can see improving but Sinclair is not good enough to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfingers Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I would argue that we had 4 forwards on the pitch at some stage last night and none of them came out with any real credit. I stick by my statement that Sinclair needs a run of 10 plus games before we can judge him-As it stands, I would play him ahead of Gabby and Ayew looks like he's going to need time to settle. Last night was hard to judge our strikers as we were up against such a good side-Lets have a look next week at Palace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree with every word of this. You have to think that unless any of them flops badly he's not going to be preferred to any of these guys when they are fit. I do think he may prove to be a higher quality option off the bench than we've had in recent seasons though so I'm not unhappy we signed him for peanuts.

jjaacckk91 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 He did a very good N'Zogbia impression yesterday, dribbling inside into trouble a lot. I think that had a lot to do with the way we set up though. Sinclair gabby ayew, pace pace pace. Utd just stayed relatively deep when we had the ball and nullified all 3. When gestede is starting and jack is back there will be much more space to exploit and I think him and ayew will look better for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Was just coming into the game when taken off, would've preferred seeing gabby go off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I thought he didn't do too bad and is obviously a confidence player who is getting it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 2 pretty poor games. Don't think Grealish has anything to worry about. Straight back in when he's fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Grealish for Sinclair and Traore for Ayew at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'm not going to blame any of the front three - the tactics were wrong putting them all in, they're just all far too similar to be in the same team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Grealish for Sinclair and Traore for Ayew at the moment ...and Gestede for Agbonhlaor and we're sorted. With Gil also having a good role to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmirch Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Did he play up front for swansea? Seems limited and a bit out of ideas when out wide but the good points I've seen from him so far have been his finishing. Maybe Tim can convert him a la Henry.

CrackpotForeigner Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Grealish for Sinclair and Traore for Ayew at the moment ...and Gestede for Agbonhlaor and we're sorted. With Gil also having a good role to play. Yep. Start Gestede, and bring a fresh-legged Gabby on when Rudy's tired (if you must bring him on). The extra bit of pace against tired legs might be what Gabby needs to actually do something for a change. But I agree with those who said Sinclair did okay v Man Utd. I thought there were moments where he showed proper quality, especially in his linkup play with the amazing Amavi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ooh-Ah Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 He's a good footballer but what does he actually do? I think he'll need to put in a couple of stand-out performances very soon if he has any intentions of staying in the starting XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 He is very good at travelling up the pitch at pace which is a valuable asset. Sterling is another who is good at this. I also think he has good positional instincts in the box and would get you goals over the course of a season. He does like to run down a blind alley and I'm not sure I've seen a winger before who crosses so little. I'd say he does bring things out other players don't and from our perspective the competition for places is only a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between him and Amavi Darmian (or whatever it is) looked a total liability. That was mostly down to Amavi but Sinclair played his part as well.
