I think you are missing the point that he's being brought on to protect the win i.e the players being played instead of him have got us into a winning position. For me he started well but faded. Others are ahead of him on merit because the team has worked without him there. If sub to see out the game is his position so be it. Injuries will take their toll and he will get a chance and need to take it when he does. Until then you don't change a winning team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stegzy Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I would like to see him start in place of Whelan in our easier games as he is all action and has a great engine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to see Jedi start if Whelan doesn’t, for now at least. We have plenty of ‘all action’ in our other 5 outfield players while we are playing 4-4-2, and that established overtly defensive shield that GW and NJ provide helps our defence which is currently solid, and provides a platform for our offensive play. I just wouldn’t tamper with a system that is at long last working. But do agree that is a option that I would relish. i would love to keep Onomah, I think the role you suggest would be an upgrade once he matures and has a seasons consistency.

He might have a good engine, he should do as he is young and seems athletic enough...but he doesn't use it. The last few appearances I have been very underwhelmed. The least I expect from a youngster when he is brought on with 20 minutes to go is put a shift in, but he hasn't. He only runs one way, forward. He always looks zoned out, with little awareness of players breaking or going behind him, he is rarely on his toes to receive a pass. He is so lackadaisical I would never play him in a 2, even against the weakest of teams. The fact Bruce has been playing him as a No.10 is a damning indictment for a so called box to box midfielder at this level. He cannot be trusted.

He plays deeper for England than he does for us and I don't like to see him subbing on for Whelan at times a season he wants to be a CM not just an AM. if he can play a team a high tempo in CM he'll be some player but at the minute he's quite ponderous and reminds me of Tom Huddleston. Loads of ability but a bit slow in doing everything and that separates the decent players to the top players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I accidentally left the time-stamp on but the video should play from the start now rather than from near the end. I'm a big fan of his, as a (deeper-lying)central midfielder. Anywhere else and he's not worth the bother. Edited October 13, 2017 by VanDerVaart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 So with Grealish coming back, what happens with them? Onomah has played the #10 role, but wants to play Hourihane's role. I think Onomah is the better player over Grealish, but at least Grealish is our player. I don't want to stunt Grealish's growth if we are just going to lose Onomah no matter what next season.

lexicon Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Interesting you should say that Pangloss, I thought he was very good in the first half but went missing for large parts of the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to sound strange given that but I still don't see him as a 10. He's a talented player doing a good job for the team so all credit to him. Work rate particularly was excellent, looked dead on his arse a few times in the last 15 mins but kept going and kept contributing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'm a really big fan, think the criticism of him was a little harsh when he's come on over the past few weeks. Adds calmness to the midfield and is a threat going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Very good performance, tackles won, decent passes, a bit of vision, good movement off the ball and some quality with it at his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who will he replace though? Hourihane is the only real chance I suppose. Snod and Adomah are too good to drop. Whelan is wrong role. And I'm pretty sure Kodja continues.
