GingerCollins29 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Looks like a monumental waste of 35 mill after that performance. Bullied and zero impact. Tried to take on 5 or 6 players instead of passing it. Hoping he changes that first impression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost the bsll within seconds of receiving it every single time as well as being bullied off it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Needs to play right hand side of a front three. He also needs a midfield behind him capable of getting the ball to him quickly and accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have less space playing in that attacking midfield position than you do on a wings. It felt like everytime he got the ball he was being smothered by 5 watford players who were all already close to him. I will say that I always thought Jack had this problem in that position too and why I never thought he worked best in that position.

It's Your Round Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I’m wondering whether we should go 433 but play Buendia on the right side of midfield there. With Traore ahead of him, Watkins through the middle and Bailey on the left. I just think he might be able to affect play more from a deeper position.

If I'm remembering correctly, I'm pretty sure his best preseason game was when he played on the right. Granted, it was against Walsall but he was quite lively and then seemed to quiet down in the second half when they put him in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 He’s a much better player than what he showed today. Probably just tried too hard, and maybe lacking a step or two on being fully up to speed for the new season. He’s an excellent player, when on his game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, it was against Walsall but he was quite lively and then seemed to quiet down in the second half when they put him in the middle. Spot on. Although he appears to have the attributes and quality to play in the number 10 role... Norwich fans views, and the evidence of his performances so far, suggests that he cannot. He was also 100% not match fit. Missing the end of our preseason has really impacted his readiness. He was also playing in a front 3/4 that had never played together before, so won't have helped. I've got faith he'd be much better there with Bailey and Watkins ahead of him, when he's up to match fitness and he's played with them a few times, but for now he should be on the right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 Not going to judge off one performance but let it be known that he was absolutely f****** dreadful today. The worst thing is, he wasn’t anywhere near being our worst player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DCJonah Posted August 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2021 When did we turn into such a **** demanding of instant success fan base? I actually hate what we're becoming. If this is the consequences of having wealthy owners, part of me wishes we were still in the championship. 15 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
