Vive_La_Villa Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I must be watching a different game, I thought he was fine. He put one on a plate for Ollie which he should have scored. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Very anonymous today, think he is struggling. But currently only midfielder that can drive with the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I thought he was fine today but mostly uninspiring. 6.5 out of 10. Which is annoying because we know he can be better, it seems to me like he’s playing within himself, like he’s lacking some confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 This slow build up isn't really suited for him, he's much better when he can run and carry the ball but he seems to hold a lot/drift inside while Moreno does the running into space.

I think he’d work in a midfield 3 driving forward or arriving late for a strike for a more traditional 433 but he can’t work well within a double pivot and seems out of position in the half space further forward. Will have to learn this new trade otherwise will be a squad player or shipped out to a better fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Plays well with Moreno Thought he was fine today. Buendia and Bailey were the issues today imho. Never a penalty though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 88.4% passing accuracy from 43 passes and 3 key passes, 3 tackles and yet he was poor allegedly. He was a 6.5/10 as has been mentioned above . That doesn’t mean he’s had a poor game it’s just a solid performance. Seems if a player doesn’t have an 8/10 or higher he’s classed as poor.

gwi1890 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Did well today people need to understand that everybody has to do their job in a system team and it’s not about “moments” and a little bit of magic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost irrelevant. We lost some attacking momentum on a few occasions because he couldn't think quick enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that we still created enough chances to score. Edited March 12, 2023 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if their names Jacob or Leo to be honest. Neither were amazing but you’d think they both had the worst game of their lives based on the reaction around here. McGinn was the only stand out player on our team today but even he has had plenty of ok performances in the past but called poor.

Almost as though there’s no middle ground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Because his output was so visible when he was playing well under Gerrard, we are expecting similar to be able to say 'he's playing well'. Emery's system takes the need for people to be individually brilliant away completely. Last match he had the most turnovers/interceptions at HT but was described as anonymous. This week he's been poor even though he's contributed to our game well. Nothing standout, but he is reliable with the ball, carries it well, and does a good amount of defensive work. He's fine. (But I have a feeling he has more to come) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same could be said for Traore but you always stick your neck out for him and that’s coming from me a man who actually likes Traore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 His best attribute is his runs in the final 3rd and playing on the left in this system doesn't really allow that, but he's doing a job for the team and his commitment is exemplary. He's still a better player than I first thought he was going to be and he sets a good example to our other youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted March 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2023 Started slow but improved, he's a young player and it will take time for him to find his performance levels consistently. My guess is him and his brother will be in the team 2024/25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 He looked a proper player before his injury, it's no good defending him, he ain't half the player he was. Ive said before, looks like a player too comfortable at the moment, needs to start working hard again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won the ball back more than any of our other midfielders and lost possession the least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
