Sulberto21 Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 You can see that in his first few games he looked like scoring and assisting but didn’t work out. His confidence dropped and wasn’t performing as he’d like. since the excellent goal in Europe he’s got a bit of swagger in his play now. I’d start him up front with Ollie against Scumchester United. I think he’ll have a great game against them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) I thought, there was so much in the make-up of that goal that pleased me. I have been wishing for so long, we can score goals like that and I was impressed, with the courage he employed, to execute it....great ball in by the way. The image of that goal, won't go away....we have to score more like that. We talk about the low block, and how to breach it.........perfect example, of one way to do it.

CVByrne Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I think if he plays off the right and JJ off the left and can make the runs into the box he'slst effective. Both are big ball carrying players and tall so can head in crosses. I like that we now have impact from the bench. For example Bailey, Diaby, Zaniolo, Moreno, Tielemans whomever it is coming on gives us impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Nowhere near good enough for this level, too slow, weak, struggles to beat a man, doesn’t want to track back most the time and constantly gives stupid fouls away. I’m not in anyway blaming him for tonight but he offers next to nothing to this team. He isn’t suited to the way we play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s so harsh - coming in today’s game from the bench was always a big ask for any player. This guy will prove his doubters wrong in the same way that YT is doing imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see nothing in the kid, I just genuinely don’t see what he has to offer the team. He’s played enough now to see glimpses but other than one run away at Burnley I’ve seen nothing to be encouraged by. I just don’t think he suits the way we play.

Bloke was one of the best central midfielders in the prem a couple of years back. Im all for your optimism with when it comes to NZ, but so far, he’s been pathetic - Sheff Utd goal aside.

wilko154 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 We need to bin him off in January, he's just not good enough for this level. Currently using up a loan spot, and we only have two available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I think NZ will come good. My guess is he needs more minutes on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Zaniolo is going to play wide he needs to be able to beat a man. Bailey even when he wasn’t great could do this, his decision making was letting him down a lot of the time, not his ability.

I kinda think you are trying to justify that you like many of us waited for Bailey to come good - yet you don’t think Zaniolo could do the same ? I see zero between the Leon Bailey who first came to the club and Zaniolo Edited December 26, 2023 by ChesterDad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I get the jury is still out on him but he’s got the potential to come good. Needs to strengthen up and be less predictable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Can’t blame him or any of the subs for coming on so late into that shit show of a second half. For once, that’s on Emery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
