vreitti Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 He still looks somewhat nervous and sloppy in possession, but offers something entirely different to Onomah, Whelan, Jedi and Lansbury. Meaning we have more options, depending on opposition and game state. I'm certain once he finds his rhythm, he'll be one of the first names on the team sheet.

AshVilla Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 He's brings balance to the midfield because he's a natural left footer and for his set pieces alone i'd make sure he's in the team. I want to see a midfield 3 of Hourihane Lansbury Onomah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Goals and assists last season. Our manager has given up trying to get the best out of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Excellent player. What have we done to him?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 My hunch is that he's actually not that good, however, it's clear that Bruce hasn't tried to accommodate him in a position which would get the best out of him. Utterly bizarre stuff from an atrocious manager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 We already know that he can play a good ball in which is enough for me to put him into the team. I am sick of seeing Lansbury and Taylor struggle to deliver on set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwdriver Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Midfielders have to do a bit of everything. We can't have every one given the number 10 shift and not have to do any tracking back unless they're as good as Le Tissier. So if he manages to get a starting place it's upto him to do what he's got to do to keep the shirt. I don't know if I'd stick him in centre mid or on the left flank?

omariqy Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 No surprise he played really well when he was given license to go forward and create. His game is not chasing the ball around in a straight horizontal line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed frustrated and not-arsed but did improve in the last... maybe 10 minutes. Maybe when he played higher up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Green were linking up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
