Keener window-cleaner Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Nice to see him being played in a position that suits him, not as holding midfielder. I think he, Grealish and Targett have formed quite some understanding on the left, switching places, filling in for each other. In this position his weaknesses isn't exposed. He always pops up with goals and assists doesn't he, come end of the season I wont be surprised if his contributions will be proven to be so much worth for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's people's thoughts on his value. If we have not done do, hope we renew his contract. He signed a new long term deal before this season started.

Popular Post TRO Posted November 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2019 His shortfalls are not a figment of the imagination.....but he plays so well with Jack. His left peg is out of a Harry Potter movie.. He is a threat, we just can't ignore.....He has to be found a place. It was interesting to hear Deans, observations, saying he fills the hole Jack has just left....He does. We have to find a home for him. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he was about to sign for Derby for 2.5m and we came in with bigger offer and of course bigger weekly wage. Yeah Hourihane wasn't too much so probably goes down as one of the bargains of last decade. Wonder if he'll make SGC's 18 for the United game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zab6359 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Was perfect for the Newcastle game great management from DS bringing him back, expect him to be on the bench again Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Did some good adjustment when Grealish came inside at Man Utd. Average position is a funny one to look at... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average position is a funny one to look at... When we talk about positions we talk about them without the ball. But it did seem to me that Conor was playing on the left defensively too. We're very fluid with the ball so I reckon we generate some strange charts when we dominate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Proving again that in the tougher games, he becomes kind of superfluous. When we're dominating, he can be such a weapon. But when we're not, he's just kind of...there. I'd bring in Marv for him against Chelsea and then possibly bring him back for the home game against Leicester. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest i wouldn't as he provides the room for grealish to excel It's no coincidence that we pick up more points when he plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't affect games where we are not dominating. That being said we had 10 corners yesterday. So stupid that Jack took a big chunk of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a difficult call because he seemingly does little in a game or scores/assists. Not a lot of middle ground.

Ferguson used to do it all the time with great success. The challenge as a coach is to keep making them hungry when not playing. Man management is so important in modern football.

mikeyp102 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 They said it on villaview last week, but it’s right. Conor plays well the game he’s won his place back. We then have a couple of games where he does absolutely nothing. Would he be better as an impact sub when McGinn is tiring? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 A cardboard cut out of him would have done just as much. A total passenger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Yeah, pretty much useless this game. Interesting thing I've noticed, despite the amount of fouls we've gotten in the last 2 games, I don't think a single one of those were in enough a promising position for him to unleash his left boot. Have the opposition been to be careful to not foul us too close to the box? Edited December 4, 2019 by Laughable Chimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
