TRO Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Lansbury, does not strike me as a driving force or a leader in midfield. He strikes me as a player who goes with the flow and fits in to the ebb and flow of the game....a passive player with the odd nice ball......not a dominate driving force, which I am desperate to see. I think we have many central midfielders you could pick out of hat all very samey in terms of effectiveness.

I guess players get picked according at least in part to how they perform in traIning so I guess we don’t have all the data available to work out why he’s not been in the match day squad. Onomah must be shit hot in training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I.....If I am being honest I haven't been convinced in either of them. They don't show me what I am looking for in a central Midfielder.....not many of ours do if i am being honest......but I don't want to be too depressive.....Jed can dominate in the air, but much too slow on the floor. I want to see players who can do both and pass the ball.( not much hey) I am not sure what the answer is.....its always the same when too many lose form or too many injuries all at once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Happy to see him play against wolves, I've regarded him as our best all-round and most complete central midfielder (except Grealish of course), and I have been puzzled why he hasn't got a sniff of match action lately. Hope he plays a big role in the run in of the season and shows how good he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Thought it was a very good little cameo, he certainly looked up for it. Hope he gets a few more minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) The one thing that impressed me most was his willingness to go for the jugular. Even at 3-1 he's looking for the killer ball rather than being content to knock it into the corner. Now that may have been a managerial decision, but I still admire his balls. I disagree with whomever said he isn't a 'driving force' kind of player. That's all he really is and there's little else to him. He has one thing on his mind - the opposition goal. Tactically abysmal, headless and inconsistent but he's an on the front foot player and there will be a time and a place for him during the run in no doubt. Great to see him back on the pitch.

Has 4 goals for us this season and has had some really good games too. But as of late he's been fairly poor in general, but I think the same applied to Conor when Grealish was out of the equation. I still think he can put in some good cameos as well. Basically it's just good to have options from the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think that Onomah has enough to do well too and link up with Grealish well which he has done previously. I'm all for Lansbury being ahead in the current pecking order though, don't get me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I like Henri, but whether he starts, that's all up to Bruce. I want him to be chosen because the manager believes he is the best man for the job, not because of fan pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
