El-Reacho Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 2 minutes ago, GeordieVillan said: But I don't think thats true. If we are playing Westwood, Gana and Veretout as a midfield 3 or the 3 players in a diamond who are not most attacking, then I would expect one of them at least to get into the box, and I wouldn't say that is taking an overly risky approach of leaving us exposed. The vast majority of the time, the only players we have in a decent position in the box is the main striker - whether it be Kozak or Gestede - against 4 defenders at least. We got hit on the break by Arsenal for their second goal without any of our midfielders even getting in to the box. When we're playing with so little confidence, making repeated mistakes and giving the ball away so often I can see why Remy won't let them gamble.

It's absolutely ludicrous in my head that we recruited in this manner, whilst losing our 3 experienced PL players in Benteke, Delph and Vlaar. We needed experience, to go with our more lavish foreign purchases, not paying through the nose for unknown players like Illori. It was suicide. I can actually see us beginning to play well now, and for the rest of the season we'll surprise a few people. But we'll go down because of the stupidness of our board who thought it was a good idea to start a season with an entirely new (and foreign) team - and a shit manager. Imbeciles.

rodders0223 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Can't play anything past 70 minutes. Heavy legs, should have took him off and gone for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 hes been good recently, but he was way off it today in open play (i thought most of his set pieces were still generally good, whipped into the right area) to be fair, i didnt think he went hiding, even though nothing he did came off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't been poor for a while. In fact he's been one of our better players since Garde came in. It's not exactly surprising that a young guy coming into a new country and league, not speaking the language, takes a bit of time to settle. It's also not surprising that he might be a bit inconsistent. I'm astonished, given his recent performances, that people have suddenly decided he's crap again after one game where he wasn't great. LIke I said, you're only as good as your last game on VT, 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general the midfield seemed keen to get 30 yards out, then pick out a pass straight to a Leicester player. Very frustrating and I'm sure Garde must be tearing his hair out internally. I think credit has to go to Leicester's midfield and organisation too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmac Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 i know he has a lot of fans, but i haven't rated and i just don't see anything from open play. He has a phenomenal dead ball delivery on him, particularly on freekicks from that 35/40 yard range where he just gets the ball to drop superbly in the right area (that did make the 93rd minute attempt so infuriating) but he is just so sloppy at times and really seems to struggle with the pace of the game.

Chicken Field Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 The way the match panned out today was just not suitable for players that like to pass it along the ground, therefore Veretout and Gil were both very poor. Won't criticize him for one bad match, especially as he has been one of our better players lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
