We were spoilt by Grealish as his ball retention was insane. Emery will know exactly what to do with him though. He will coach him to do the things he does in the right areas. I am so confident that he will be the biggest winner from this change. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the rest of the team were playing shit. How do you find a through ball if there's no-one running onto it.. etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash deserves it for being the only player to keep going during our recent dark times. I think he will be nailed on players player of the season. And Emi will get the fans player .

Its what happens when you take risks to try and create chances Ok. This idea that he loses the ball a lot because he takes risks is just daft. On occasion, of course, he likes to thread a pass through so we may lose possession. Watch the clip on the page before. Is he taking risks when he loses the ball under pressure? Doesn’t look like it to me. He’s got a great work ethic and he arguably deserves to start ahead of Coutinho on that alone, but we’ll need better if we’re to fight for Europe.

I will caveat by saying I love buendia as a player, buyt I do agree that he can be prone to losing the ball at times. My other comment would be though, that he had played sporadically over the last 12 months with limited time to settle in the team, I'm sure a sustained run wouldn't eliminate all ball losses, but I do wonder if it would reduce them due to match sharpness and building relationships from actually playing games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gonna be hard to get a better creator than Buendia. I think a lot of his losing possession is through holding on for it too long. I think once Unai is in, Buendia will be playing regularly, getting his confidence back, and will be a key player. The mistakes he's making for us are daft little ones, through overthinking, a lack of other players in good positions (blame Gerrard's system not the players), but not because of a lack of technique or ability. Easily eradicated IMO. Edited October 28, 2022 by Tom13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 82% pass accuracy vs McGinns 80% 1.3 unsuccessful touch and 0.9 dispossessed McGinns 1.8 unsuccessful touch. 0.7 dispossessed. Last season stats for both players in terms of losing the ball look similar trajectory. There's no problem with a 10 losing the ball but when he does , even though the crowd back him - it's at times " Wasteful, too small, too weak." McGinn gets robbed of the ball.

Johnnyp Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Lot of bluster about this bloke since he’s come in the door from we haven’t played him in the right positions to he hasn’t been given a chance. Needs to start been a bit more accountable for how shit he is on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I just can’t see what everyone else sees with this guy. He is so wasteful in possession. He occasionally sets one up for us but In between sets up 3 or 4 counter’s for the opposition! My goodness our transfer dealings have been poor.
