djdabush Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Hung out to dry but if we were hoping to bring in a similar player to McGinn then we've backed the wrong horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are purely based on offensive, defensive and passing stats. That makes them good because there's no human bias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Not to worry, tomorrow we have another player coming in on loan who hasnt played for 2 years and will get thrown straight in to the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it turned into a nightmare for him but he wasnt alone today. He has a week to work hard in training on the back of this. You have to consider the man management aspect, of it, though. A good run out would do him some good, but that's what the u23s are for. Debuting him like that is a properly shit way to introduce a player to the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Too similar to our other players. We need strength, size, pace and courage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 At least he got exposed in a game we were never going to win. Do we play him next game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked sharp and tidy in the early stages but it went downhill for him after the first goal went in. Might be ok as an option off the bench in future.

Obviously it looks daft when you get battered 6-1 but going into the Brighton game I'd prefer him to have 70 competitive minutes under his belt than not (I'm not sure under 23s can compare). Of course I don't really know how strong mentally he is but it's down to Dean and JT to pick all the players up after this, not just Drinkwater. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 His passing at least was crisp when he had some energy. It’s not his fault we lost today. Should have come on in the last fifteen minutes unless our standards of fitness are so poor that he looked good in training. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danceoftheshamen Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I only saw the early part of the game & he didn't look that bad then but i guess if he tired it was always gonna happen with his lack of playing time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Pap. Unless he's good, I'll be particularly pissed off with this transfer as the man is a tool as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Well cant argue with that Dale, but of the 3 who started, considering hes not played for 10 m0nths, he put himself about a lot more than the other 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2020 Was ok if nothing earth shattering until the goal. Looked a bit more confident than our other CMs and passed crisply. Then they upped the tempo and the wheels fell off. He might be useful once he's up to speed. But today it was obvious he's rusty and not 100%. Made worse by playing in a new side in a game where it's going to get spanked. At least he got some minutes I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I think I am in the vast minority on here but I thought he was very good today, particularly in the first half. I hadn’t realised how good he was technically, there was a reason that Chelsea paid £30m for him. He dictated the play in the first half, he was spraying it around beautifully, he keeps his place for the next game for me.
