rodders0223 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Why he doesn't play often. Any game more than walking pace and he is all over the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Thought he was poor today. One good pass aside, all he did when getting the ball was lay it off to a player behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were all poor bar maybe Grealish - pathetic team display when it was all to play for . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at some of the players that have played in 8th-15th positioned teams in his position in the past ten years, and I think Thor has more than enough to step it up a level. That's the silliest thing I've ever read. He's not even Championship standard DM let alone a DM as TRO said he's a pick pocket not a tackler. PL teams mostly have a Kante (one of best DM since Makalele) or Gueye type DM. If only we could get a player like that...

Demitri_C Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 One week he is deemed excellent the next he isnt a championship standard player I thought he was poor but who played well? i thought no player came out of that game with any credit. they were all pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 10, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10, 2018 Yeah I thought he was poor but it's hard to single players out when it's such a bad team performance. I don't think he was worse than half the players out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did feel for him slightly as he had no pass on whenever he received the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think any CM would have done any better than that as everyone was so poor, we just made little to no effort. it really was a dreadful performance Edited April 10, 2018 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Our best player last time we played them at the cottage. Bruce may need to take a horses for courses mentality here. No point rewarding the player(s) who got you there if they aint right for this game. Was worried by the gap between hourihane and grabban last night. Grabban given no support. Fulham will gobble him up in midfield i fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he helps us keep possession better but Jedinak was MOTM last night, he's a proven big game player, will provide a valuable screen to CBs and help stop Mitrovic providing the platform they thrive off so much.

They are so much more than mitrovic though. Fredricks is a nightmare. Targett very talented. And they will recycle and keep ball over and over until a gap opens up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that Bruce will see it that way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 If Thor had been playing recently, I’d play him. However, he hasn’t and Jedinak has been very good at DMC recently. I’m worried about the movement Fulham have and how we’ll cope on a large pitch, but it wouldn’t make sense to bring him in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 As good as Hourihane was last night think Bjarni would cover the space more. Would go Jedinak-Bjarni combo myself but tough decision for the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 16, 2018 Jedinak has shown he can be counted on in the big games. He's our best DM. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't start in the final. And if he doesn't start, I don't think it'll be BB replacing him. It'll be Whelan. BB might get a game at fullback though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
