markavfc40 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I was really impressed with him today. I know he is seen as a defensive midfielder but he seemed very keen to get forward on a number of occasions. I think a midfield 3 of Delph, Westwood and Sylla could be decent with both Delph and Sylla looking capable of being box to box midfielders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Thought he did a good job today. Reading's midfield was shite, but he made no mistakes, got around the park well and had a couple of go's at goal. Let's see what he can do against better players, but I was really encouraged today.

LockStockVilla Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Been a while since we had a midfielder that goes out and tries to take the ball off/tackle opposition midfielders and I like it! Handled the pace of the game well and he looks a lot quicker than I had expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcKenna Posted March 9, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2013 Really impressed today. He was very composed and did little wrong. When he nearly scored in the 2nd it was great when we all sung Sylla, Sylla, Syllaaaaaaa! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Great game today. Added that bit of grit to midfield and he can pass very well. Can't wait to see this team next year if we stay up. We are going in the right direction no matter what the Lambert bashers say. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I think he possibly has goals in him and his confidence will be given a real boost after starting and being on the winning side. Ok, it was a very average Reading side, but the experience won't do his PL grounding any harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 he did well, closed down well, kept possession well and tackled well, can't ask for anymore really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernova26 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Apart from one aimless hoof he did in the first half I was impressed by him...has presence and is good on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Very impressed by his movement off the ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMushroom Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Very impressed by his movement off the ball! Im sure he was a french under 21 or something interational, so the ability is there. Just think that his price, when we bought him and the fact he was totally of the radar had a few of you squirming! Bet Lambo's having a right chuckle lol.

Daniel1Avfc Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 BEAST! good interceptions, good closing down, good passing, terrible shooting. Needs to sit just ahead of the back four, hes definitely not a box to box mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Defensively he is very good good but offensively he is awful. Play him deep and tell him to defend first, and he will do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avflife Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Very impressed by his PL debut, broke up play without diving in and not getting booked like Delph loves to do. His shooting isn't even that bad, two shots one nearly went in lol. Would play him, Westwood and Delph after QPR.

Calm down. What? I was very calm posting this...Just stating my opinion. I thought he was poor going forward. He seemed lost on the other side of the pitch.

ozvillafan Posted March 10, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted March 10, 2013 A good debut, I thought. Really freed up Westwood and Bannan, covered both sides of the pitch and tracked well. Very comfortable on the ball and moves into space to give an "easy out" option to other players. Also liked the fact that he dropped in behind when Baker or Lowton came forward. He's not the type to play a killer pass to our front line but, then, that isn't his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
