rbcuk Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Played well when coming on tonight, played in his correct position 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NurembergVillan Posted January 13, 2018 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2018 Playing 10-15 yards further forward than Whelan, and being far more mobile, gave us the chance to hunt in packs in the second half and we did just that. The first 15 minutes of the second half saw Forest panicking in possession as we harassed them into errors that could, maybe should, have seen us get a second and kill the game off. Forest never threatened from the minute he came on. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Clearly not a poor footballer played in his position look calm ,assured as did the rest of the team , better than whelan in that role hope we don't sell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Thought he was excellent. He made a big difference in that second half. Far more energy than Whelan and tidied up very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_bouma Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Thought he was great when he came on. Hopefully between him and jedinak we will see less of whelan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 That's the Birkir I've been waiting to see, much more familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted January 13, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13, 2018 Maybe we should keep him as an option for CDM. He's poor with the ball, but can defend and won't stop running. Maybe he wouldn't make the mistakes that Whelan is bound to make every game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Really good performance. Whelan didn't do awful in that first half but its much better have an engine in front of that defence, was able to press Forest much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Ironic that he plays his best game in what could be his last game .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Well played tonight. I wonder if he’s not as effective going forward in England because of the pace of the game so a bit like Petrov is better deeper? All so he showed what a bit of energy does for us in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 He is such an odd player. Excellent last 30 mins tonight. Unrecognisable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 He did well tonight but I wouldn't say that he changed the game or anything - Forest looked like they had used up their energy and enthusiasm in the first half when they came out and we duly took control. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. They really pressed hard in the first half and were forcing us to go long. No way could sustain that. A few posters were blaming Bruce in the match thread which I thought was quite bizarre.

mykeyb Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Very good performance, if he can play like that every game I'd play him ahead of Whelan and Jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 He played well tonight, also looked taller. Not sure it was actually the same player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
