markavfc40 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I thought he did OK but struggled the last 20 mins I think due to a lack of matches and in the last 10 mins was refusing to take corners, meaning Grealish reluctantly had to take them, as he was really struggling due to cramping up. I think he'd have been substituted but Samba got injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Didn't impress me sorry. I don't think this performance will make him ahead of Hourihance in the pecking order. Has no pace and was playing in a ridiculous quarterback role today. Plus his corners today were awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meregreen Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Thought he was the pick of our outfield players today. Offered movement and was always looking for the quick through ball. I’d play him with Hourihan, and drop Onomah who was awful again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was the only one trying to get forward. I know I have said it numerous times, but Whelan need to stay behind the other 2 midfielders allowing them to roam forward. Him going forward forced Lansbury to stay back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vreitti Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Could have really used the strength in depth now. Guess it's back to hoping Hourihane rediscovers some form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack has been training for a while now and featured off the bench for the past month? Lansbury played half hour and is suddenly starting. On reflection I think his inclusion damaged the whole team, we were wide open because he cannot bloody run. He should be played at the top of a 3 or not at all in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems they have both been back in training the same amount of time. https://tinyurl.com/y78h42fz I don't think either has done enough in the past to be starters, but are good options to have now.

Jack has great skill, but to say he is in form would be a stretch. I do believe he a good alternative option to have, going into the Christmas run.

Anyone other than Onomah would be an upgrade at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa and Hourihane have played their best when he fed off Davis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you said we don't know how fit he is so it's a bit harsh to be critical of Bruce for not starting him. Considering Bruce was apparently building a team around him you'd think he would want to start him if he could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
