Is it right i heard the other day that we havent lost a game when hes played in the league? Didnt sound correct.. thought he played in the Leeds game. Either way i think were better with him in the team. Edited February 13, 2017 by KSV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas it does offer similar aerial defence from long balls it has a fundamental affect on the dynamic of the team imo. By pushing that extra defencive player forward into midfield you free up one of the current midfielders to pressing higher up the pitch and offering another out ball. Also the dm role acts as more effective cover for full backs out of position as they aren't also responsible for martialing the cb's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) He'll be straight back in the team when he's fit. He's the type of clogger Bruce loves. Edited February 13, 2017 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Jedinak Won 7, drew 8, lost 5. - 1.45 points per game. Without Jedinak Won 1, drew 4, lost 5 - 0.7 points per game. The win without him was against lowly Rotherham early in the season. So I do think we really, really need him in the side. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Interestingly, in 2 of the 7 games won "with Jedinak", Jedinak wasn't on the pitch when we scored our winners (1-0 vs. Fulham [subbed for McCormack 73rd min, Kodjia scored in 80th] and 2-1 vs. Burton [subbed for Ayew 75th min, McCormack scored 78th]) and against Leeds he was subbed off before we equalised. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not surprise me at all. I think the aerial balls that Jedinak has been dealing with has been underestimated.....provided they get to our man, they actually start attacks.

sne Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Not really that surprised that he has played in the few games we've won considering what the other midfield options were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 May explain why his form dipped after it picked up when Bruce came. Socceroos manager Postecoglou said Jedinak attempted to play through the injury to help out his embattled club. "I watched him play around Christmas and you could tell he wasn't moving freely but Mile's the type who'll keep playing. They realised and he realised he couldn't go on like that," he said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 The stats point that he has been a good player for us. I can't remember him doing anything well though, and seems to no pace. Still when fit we can't be picky and he needs to be back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one of the early games where he won almost every header in the middle of the park and broke up play well. Form dropped for a while though, and in accordance with the team. However the post above indicating he was playing with an injury could explain alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Really hope he's back on Monday. Not saying he's the key to us getting out of this mess but we clearly miss his presence in midfield. You'd hope with him in front of the back 4 then Lansbury and Hourihane ahead of him it should form a nice midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
