We need to be patient and let him get back to fitness I think this might possibly go for most elements right now. Easier said than done, obviously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 20, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 20, 2022 He's rustier than Lance Armstrong's bike. Give him a bit of time and he'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 He’s going to really struggle in this system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 He’s going to struggle if we continue to play without wingers, unless he goes thru the middle up front 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 He might be a casualty of Purslows desperation to bring Gerrard in. I was so excited when we signed him. I still hope it will work out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 A winger in a wingerless system is not going to stand out. Arjen Robben wouöd have struggled in a similar system 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once Nakamba gets back we'll end the season playing 4-2-3-1 so he gets in surely then. Just going tohave Everton style cameo if he wants to start anytime soon.

He looks bang average pace wise to me (not taking away from his other qualities). His feet move real fast but goes nowhere, he reminds me of a fat guy cycling up a hill in 1st gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine he has a real burst between the 40 and 50-yard mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
