wazzap24 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 He needs the kind of game Conor had today. He's a good player, just another one who's been moved around a bit and not really got going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they also have that repetitive remnant of Lampard/Gerrard and playing in the same team. Maybe they can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I know Lansbury does get ahead of the ball from time to time, but I see him playing deeper than Hourihane. For me, he should be holding the centre ground and looking to dictate play a bit. Not sitting in front of the back four, but more of a midfield quarterback of sorts. Having said that, I could never understand the Gerrard/Lampard issue as they were different players too, but maybe it is a thing, I hope not.

Eastie Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Thought Lansbury did well yesterday after coming on - maybe Davis is the ideal frontman for both Lansbury and hourihane . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think it's the first time he hadn't been first choice since he's been here. He now knows he has to perform to keep his place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) I think it makes such a difference to have the players playing box to box. Even Onomah looked far more comfortable before he went off. Receiving the ball constantly with your back to goal is a difficult thing for a midfielder. Hopefully we can stop trying to shoehorn players into unfamiliar positions and just let them flourish. It was a solid if relatively low key performance from Henri. Two assists though and on another day might have had a goal or two. Edited August 21, 2017 by villaglint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 The difference on Saturday was that our long balls from the back (which constantly bypass the midfield) were sticking with Davis and the midfield were then able to come into the game and play football in the other half of the pitch. For too long now the long ball football we have been playing has resulted in the loss of possession and the midfield having to defend once again. Both Hourihane & Lansbury's strengths are in creating and scoring goals which they have not been able to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played well, but a short two yard ball to Hourihane for the third goal, whilst technically an 'assist', isn't really much to shout about nor a measure of his performance. Rather, I'd say he had a good level of influence and put himself about a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Totally stupid and irresponsible tackle by Lansbury. Clearly frustrated by how things were going on the pitch but absolutely no need to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
