ozvillafan Posted January 20, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Definite lay-off by Gestede, for mine (not a poor touch or mis-control). Am I right in thinking this is Gana's first attempt from inside the box?

lexicon Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Nice take - one a premier league footballer should make though. Thanks for the link lads. Edited January 20, 2016 by lexicon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I thought he did his job really well today. But he should never be allowed to shoot from outside of the box again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2016 Good game again. But for **** sake, stop shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Playing DM is definitely his strongest position. He's like a little terrier, nibbling and getting stuck in. Awful at shooting, hits row Z every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 He has been great playing the defensive midfield role and allows our other midfielders to be a bit more attacking, he has shown the discipline needed for such a role and it's a pity he wasn't played there earlier in the season.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Wasn't as good as he has been for me, but to be honest they barely attempted to trouble him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy he scored the other day, for his sake, but I knew he'd take it as licence to launch the ball into the stands. How can a player have reached the heights in the game that he has, have so little idea how to control a shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can a player have reached the heights in the game that he has, have so little idea how to control a shot? There was one towards the end today. He took it down well, it was perfectly positioned for him to have a shot. Loads of space, nobody putting him under pressure, loads of time to line it up, loads to aim at And it was closer to the corner flag. I really like him, and I think he's getting better and better. But he has one of the worst shots I've ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonev was worse, but only because he shot every time he got the ball. I think Gana's shooting might be worse, but at least he only does it a couple of times a game.

Fight Like Lions Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's like a competition between him and Bacuna to hit the corner flag from 30 yards out. Woeful shooting but otherwise was impressed with him today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gana wouldn't keep it in the stadium from that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) I'm sure he can shoot, they just always seem like rush of blood to the head shots. Needs to calm down a bit in those areas. Edited January 23, 2016 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 thought he played well, surprised he wasnt booked though he seemed to make a few fouls when breaking up the play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 really hard to tell for sure watching on TV so can't see positioning out of the screen, but it seems he has lately been playing the deep midfielder in front on Okore and Lescott. I think he is a big reason our defense has looked much more secure. He's got really quick feet into the tackle in close range. I've been impressed with him the last 3 outings or so in this more defensive role. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
