FrenchVillaLova Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 He looks like a footballer, walks like a a footballer, has a man-bun and tattoos like a footballer, but he isn't a footballer... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Garbage today and was hauled off to be replaced by the YTS lad after less than a hour. I thought he would boss the midfield when signed. Done nothing since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 He's a good player for a bottom third championship team. What that say about us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danishlad Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 What position is his best. For me he isn't a 6'er - he don't win enough tackles he isn't an 8'er - he don't have the legs he isn't a 10'er - doesn't have the skill to go past anyone I'd rather have Westwood or even Gardner. He would at least score a handful of goals. Just like against the blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 He's suffering because Bruce doesn't really play with midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 He hasn't been great but I don't think we've done him any favours with the way we've played and the way we've used him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly comment in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 When we played. Forest at home last year Lansbury looked quality. When he made his debut v Preston Lansbury alongside Westwood he looked quality and we played the best football I've seen under Bruce. Since then he's flattered to deceive but he gets moved around week to week we don't play same system or players long enough to get used to anything. Yesterday we looked good until Huttons mistake. Lansbury looked solid in centre midfield then for some reason after the goal Bruce moved him to LM. No wonder from there he had a mare. Until we have a manager that plays through the midfield we will look crap in midfield. Simple. Then we can all judge our players properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Lansbury was gash but that's down to Bruce's shit tactics. It's no surprise both he and hourihane have struggled with this dinosaur football 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
