DeepDish Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I thought he was awful DD.Gave the ball away too easily, not positive,lacks quality, sums us up really. First half he was great. Got in good positions and set up the attackers twice which should have given a goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Not sure about brilliant but what I HAVE finally noticed is that he's good with first time passes forward... that's his thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Such an irritating player. Can control things like today and then look like a League 2 player at other times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 His pressing is what kept us going in the first half. Every time a ball was coming out of the air or was travelling to a Norwich player, he made sure he was there to try and win it, which is what he actually did most of the time. Best performance for us so far but I think it'll go under the radar due to Benteke's goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packoman Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 No problem with him in the team playing like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan_007 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 For me gets a lot of unfair stick, I think I'm his only fan. He is an unfashionable grafter, but can also step up like today. My mates hate him but acknowledge that when he plays we tend to win. On a side note, anyone else's notice hoolahans subdued celebration?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Very good today but he was up against a piss poor team and midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 6 tackles, 5 interceptions. they tried to get passed him today but he kept saying NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 It's helped him that Westwood also played well in both this and the Newcastle game. In fact I think both have responded well to the form of the other. If anything it's making Delph look like our weakest midfielder at the moment. Good for KEA, he takes way too much flack on here.

bobzy Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 He possibly does take too much flack (the 3rd goal will be praised for Delph's run for example, but KEA rescued Delph running into a dead end yet again) but he's not got a specific strength. I don't know what his best attribute is - apart from first time passing maybe as alluded to earlier - and he's slow to track back once the ball has been lost. StanBalaban does make a valid point, though. Apparently that's the first time we've started 2 games in a row with the same starting eleven since November? Unreal.

I guess it makes sense. As a unit we are decent, but in terms of individual players standing out it often doesn't happen, I guess because many of our players rely on one another in order to perform well.

supermon Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 For me he was my man of the match, I know tekkers will get the credit, but KEA did all the nasty work in midfield today, his closing down, interceptions and tenacity stopped Norwich from gaining momentum, hope he keeps this up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 He also maintained his presence in the game throughout which was good to see. He usually burns out by H/T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I am not a fan of him as I think all too often he has been poor but I have to say today I thought he played very well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 He also maintained his presence in the game throughout which was good to see. He usually burns out by H/T. This. One of my issues with him is that he'll have a storming first half then completely fade. But he was great for 90 today. Keep it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
