I still don’t like the setup of our midfield but that’s for another thread. By the second half he was wiped out, he clearly isn't up to speed following the injury yet. He is a total footballer, he runs himself into the ground. Unlike Carles **** Gil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Again, sure but that doesn’t change my mind. I didn’t say he was exactly like Gil, I said he reminds me of Gil. He has quality no one can deny that but the performances so far remind me of Gil of his early days. I don’t get why people are defensive over it. Everyone knows he will improve and Buendia has shown in it in this league, I even said it was very early days. It’s really not a criticism.

DCJonah Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 He looks like Gill in body shape. I don't think he plays like him Gill was a massively overrated player who wasn't good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLillis Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 This guy will shine with Ings,Ollie and Bailey all showing for the ball in front of him. Now…. if they aren’t we need someone who he can confidently give it to who can hold play up and wait for the right moment. Fast forward two years and Jacob Ramsey could be that man. For now we need to bring someone in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I’d play him against Barrow. Let him run riot build up fitness and confidence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I didn't hear his name on the MOTD highlights. Actually forgot he was playing. I'm sure things will improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played at least 3 line breaking passes yesterday that Carlos Gil couldn't have dreamt of no matter how much cheese he caned well past his bedtime. He looked class in the first half, gassed by the second, but he's some footballer. Our issue at the moment is cohesion rather than individual ability. It'll come. This... He'll thrive in a team with all three of Bailey, Watkins, and McGinn making runs in behind the defense for him to play in. He's best on the counter attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 There is an article in the Daily Mail stating that Buendia & Martinez (and other South American players called up internationally), might miss some PL games due to the 10 day isolation on return. Is this right?!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 If they stay for Bolivia (10/09) & it's a WC Qualifier so I expect they will. They'll miss Chelsea (11/09) and Everton (18/09) but be back for Man U (25/09) If they come back after Brazil (05/09) and miss the Bolivia game they will miss Chelsea only. Dougie has the exact same situation. Argentina 05/09 and Peru 10/09. Hopefully he isn't allowed to go considering he was at the Olympics or isn't selected. As is Leon Bailey. In Jamaica (05/09) playing Panama and playing then Vs Costa Rica (9/09). Costa Rica is also on the Red list. Chelsea game becomes a bit of a write off. As if all selected we'll be missing: Martinez, Buendia, Dougie and Bailey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a bit shit but I’d rather they miss these players in a game we’re likely to lose anyway than a game against a team around us. So if they miss Chelsea fine. Shame if they miss Everton.

barry'sboots Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I think we'll see a better Buendia when there is pace around (Bailey and Watkins) to stretch the opposition back line and create the space for him to operate in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Farlz Posted August 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2021 Gotta say it's pretty stupid we're allowing these players to go and miss multiple games for us. This is 4 key players we're talking about, ridiculous. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit of a joke that these aren't being played the same time as our own qualifiers, but guess it's too much to ask that football confederations actually coordinate with each other.
