rodders0223 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Not for the first time I am watching him and he is doing nothing. Just jogging about, not interested, letting others do his running for him. Only comes alive when he gets the ball to his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Dreadful. I've got absolutely no issue at all in utilising the loan market, i want the best players on the pitch even if that means nurturing someone elses players to the detriment of our own. But so far I've seen nothing at all in this kid to suggest he should be getting games ahead of some of our own youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 23, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2017 He really struggled to get up to speed today. His worst performance yet. He's a good player though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Really awful cameo. Looked a real talent early on, but just a strange showing today, no touch, no vision, no clue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanDerVaart Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 He always looks like that when he plays so far forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Thought he was really poor today. His worst performance for us. Lost the ball too much and all attacks broke down when he got the ball. got yo do better josh if you want to be a first teamer here let alone a quality spurs side. You wouldn't even be on the bench there with woeful performances like that Edited September 23, 2017 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Easily worst performance he's had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siminjo Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I thought he was rather bad when he came in aswell yesterday, yes he got a goal, but other than that he was only jogging around and didn`t look like he gave a care in the world. Plus he had atleast one awful touch and a pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Bruce insists on bringing him on as an AM when that is clearly not his position. Yes he got a goal but it's now his position. Really can't understand why OHare didn't get the nod. Bruce prefers Onomowers size strength clearly but I struggle to see how OHare enthusiasm, work rate wouldn't make up for what he lacks in size and he would be more naturally suited to the role. Definitely rate Josh though just think he needs to replacing a tiring Whelan or Hourihane if he comes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) I'd agree that at the moment he is the better player but not in that position. He's not a great AM, I he's played around 5/6 cameos there and not looked comfortable in any of them. He's a good CM/Box to Box that's the point I was trying to make. If you want to play an AM play someone who is comfortable there. #BruceandDemout Edited September 27, 2017 by villaglint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 His lazy passes last night did my head in. He's obviously comfortable on the ball, but was being far too comfortable and just allowing Burton to keep putting pressure on. Needs to get rid of that trait.

As i said earlier in the thread, i want to be able to field the strongest possible 11 so unlike some i have no issue at all in utilising the loan market to develop other clubs players if they are going to benefit ourselves in the short term. But so far I've seen nothing to suggest he should be getting games ahead of some of our own youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's often a certain amount of pressure with our younger players, though, and I'm also confident in Bruce's ability to handle them. For all of his lack of tactical nous, he seems to be a good man-manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its going to take x amount of months before the kid starts performing, only to then go back to spurs, we may aswell use that time to develop our own. I guess thats puts pressure on the kid as you say, but atm he showing little to suggest he will come good. He looks lazy, his touch is poor and at times he looks terrible in possession.

AshVilla Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Is it any coincidence that we look a lot better since this guy has been dropped and we have moved to 2 up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
