Popular Post ramshackler Posted February 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2021 The criticism he gets is totally unwarranted..he works as hard as many others and miles more than Barkley. Also has a bit of quality. He isn't the problem I was very underwhelmed by his signing but to be honest, I've been delighted with him and his increase in work rate and tracking back in his time here shows he has a good attitude. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Lunatics. Blind perhaps or just stupid?! The guy was totally knackered at the end of the match, worked his socks off and won plenty of duels. Thought Traore and Targett were out two best players today. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this totally. After the first maybe 6 or so games I was absolutely ranting about him, since then I think he's been quality. Did nothing wrong today in my eyes.

It is - he worked more than anybody today in the team and got on the scoresheet. He's a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 He scores when falls , he scores when he falls oh Bertie Traore he scores when he falls. Oh and Kasper is a bellend who needs his teeth knocked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongo's Socks Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I thought he did well today, especially second half. He does sometimes seem a bit slow getting back, but perhaps it's due to the advanced positions he gets into when we do have the ball? He's picked first and foremost as an attacking option, and we are playing with 2 defensive midfielders in front of the back 4, maybe a bit more organisation of Luiz or Mcginn could mean one of them is helping out the full back? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 5 goals in his last 12 league games. Not sure how many assists but he's played a good part in many of the goals we've scored since December. Not really sure what people expect when Trez is all heart but badly lacks composure infront of goal and with the final pass, Barkley hasn't done anything since he came back from injury and AEG had a run of 4-5 games and has reverted back to the incredibly frustrating player he is. Who exactly is he being judged against? If every single attacking player we have is being compared to Grealish then that's too high a barometer for where we currently are as a club, last few weeks have shown we'll be well short of top 6 by end of the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Bert is a top player. If you want to play him, Jack and Ollie you just need to ensure you have a three in the middle to protect the back 4. Ross should never be part of that 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Slow start today but excellent second half. I swear people are just desperate for shit players who get their head down and run around like a headless chicken. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, and when we lose a player of jack's creativity and quality, it is essential we maintain some cutting edge. It's quite clear to me that trez and el ghazi aren't good enough or creative anough so traore has to start. It shows the progressions from last season that el ghazi and trez are bench players... But it also shows how far we have to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no sense of where we've come from Like the previous 10 years never happened and we never left the top half. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Very close to MOTM. Him and Targett best we had today and they were nowhere near each other sadly. Looked like one of the only players who could control a ball first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your entitled to an opinion so no need to apologise But it would be more constructive if you told me what was wrong with my post / critic of how he suits the team balance . You think it’s coincidental that teams target that flank ? That other players have to bollock him every game for not tracking back , that Smith takes him off more of them than not because we are being over run in that area ? the role Smith wants him to play doesn’t suit him IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I like him, plays very entertaining football, just lacks a bit of experience which will come I'm sure. What was Schmeichel doing kneeling on his legs and not getting up, out of order that was, very lucky there wasn't a bigger reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried getting up a few times. Absolute knob. Then he wants to start a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
