mikeyp102 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Think he looked short and match fitness and confidence. Obviously didn't help playing him out of position. Think the mental issue may be a problem for a while, look how long it took Ramsey to rediscover form after his leg break. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Think there is some element of returning from injury but I think it's mainly down to him not being very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Looks like he's never played football in his life atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Yep, a woeful start to this game, almost as bad as Jedinak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 So rubbish it's untrue. Yet if you don't think he's good you know nothing about football........ ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 It's either going to take him a long while to get going or he has been finished by that injury. Half an hour or so in and it's one of the worst fullback displays I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprised he is getting crucified I just popped into this thread and there seemed to be a posse getting ready to linch him. I thought he had a good game, constantly looked dangerous going forward, was hamstrung in the first half by the managers dodgy formation to an extent but overall was positive (imo). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprised he is getting crucified I thought he was horrific in the first half. His positioning, his touch, his passing. That dreadful cross. The longer the game went on the better he got which was strange as I thought he would fade after so long out. He was very good last 20 minutes.

Farlz Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Wasn't great first half but again got better as the game went on. He does seem a little worried to take his man on now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 First half he had no protection and was overrun 2 to 1 by Yedlin and Ritchie. Second half Ayew played the role he is used to and offered some support, and I think Amavi did well, although you could see his frustration at Ayew for not returning the ball to him at times. I much prefer him over the alternatives, and he's only going to improve this season and he gets fitter and gets his pace back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 We need to give him time, and by the looks of the second half tonight, he looks to be getting back up to speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was left exposed in the first half IMO. Hyperbole on Villatalk? Nah, that can't be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 He jumps into tackles a bit too willingly and often got caught out, but he was decent going forward IMO. A fair few occasions where he looked for a one-two with Ayew but Ayew just cut infield and took the ball on himself. I think he's a major reason behind the 3 centre backs/2 wing backs thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Very poor defensively, should only get better with more game time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) he grew into the game and he was one of our best players in the second half. the confidence was flowing through him by the end, it was obvious. he's bound to be rusty after riding the bench as much as he has after his injury. but obviously he isn't allowed any time to settle back into any kind of rhythm without the usual suspects in the firing squad waiting to push him against the wall.
