He seems far more switched on than he was last season. I agree about the loan but emery has twice decided in Jan and the summer to go with ollie and him. There must be something he sees to consider that not a huge risk. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont like Durans attitude tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 He was making runs tonight and nobody was picking them out. It happened in a conference game earlier on and he got subbed at HT. He's a kid with a lot of maturing to do but some of his hold up play and touches are very good. I like the fact he has a spiky side to him, Benteke would often moan and bitch to all around him then pluck a screamer out his ass. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like players like that in general. It isn’t aimed at him specifically. Edited December 14, 2023 by Delphinho123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Thought he did well with the limited service he got. Had some really nice feet a couple of times. Should have been in at the end but zaniolo took too long to play the pass. Did well to get both his shots off. Quite a few times he dropped into soace with a clear passing lane to him from midfield or outwide and they looked him off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Once again didn't get any service. Very hard to judge him in the games he's had so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 He did about as well as could be expected given the service to him. Deserved a goal for his hard work but wasn't to be 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Well I think he's a brilliant footballer in the making. Lovely first touch, quality in tight spaces, always ready for the give and go. He was all over the place tonight, but sadly had little to no service. Still got a couple of attempts on goal. Big fan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in no way having a go at him because he's young and raw and i like him a lot but he got subbed in my view in that game because like tonight he was only playing one way, only looking to get in behind. Which he will learn if he wants to being an established number nine at this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Again, I thought Jhon Durán did well and signs of maturity. Good experience for him. Held the ball up well at times, some nice passes, good runs, alert and got a few shots off. Eight changes to the team didn't really help much either, it was a disjointed display from all.

Hard to get service as striker if you stand still next to defender like he seemed to do most of the game. Was really stunting our build up first half as he was so easy to defend against Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was really stunting our build up first half as he was so easy to defend against That’s just completely untrue. He was making loads of runs off his defender throughout the game, but it was too crowded for anyone to pick him out. I don’t think you can judge Durán off last night’s game. It was a striker’s nightmare - especially a quick striker who is more comfortable attacking space. He’ll have more joy coming off the bench against better sides. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting really boring reading this kind of take on every single thread. We’re third in the Premier League and apparently most of our squad have a shit attitude, can’t play football etc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
