samjp26 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Something there for sure but his decision making is poor, not quite ready for a starting 11 place and he seems to make more of an impact when he is out on the wing rather than played in the hole. Personally I'd use him as a substitute for either Gabby or Weimann when needed, his pace could cause problems for tired defenders. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Rapid pace and looks good dribbling with the ball. Decision making was poor and I can imagine constantly shooting will piss off other players. Yeah seemed very raw a bit like Benteke in his first couple of months I hope Lambert can use his magic to iron out the creases, there looks a player in there.

AndyClarke Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Glad to see I'm not the only one not overly impressed, got slated on twitter for saying he looks very direct, a poor mans Gabby and not the best at corners. No doubt he will improve once he moves the ball on a bit more quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 He's bound to be raw and very rough around the edges given he has come in from an absolute Mickey Mouse league. I'm sure he'll improve and he seems to have a decent amount of raw materials to work with, i.e. pace and an ability to run direct at defenders. I'm not expecting much from him over the next 6 months, hopefully he'll grow into a role here. Bottom line is that he can't be any worse than Holman and probably on a lot less money. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biskitt Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Cracking corner for Vlaars goal, the other 6-7 he took were pony though. Few nice touches and looks quick but like Nzogbia, I think he will be quite frustrating unless his decision making improves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Really needs to learn when to release the ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Looks a bit Raw but to be expected just needs time and games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 No way does he have the touch or awareness to play in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 He's a little too desperate to get his first goal and make his mark, but I think he'll settle down and get there with some time. He's not the finished article yet, to be sure, but he's got some serious potential. Definitely better suited to the wing, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KjParton Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 People definitely need to give this guy time like they need to give time to Helenius. They're adapting to our style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I think some comments are a bit harsh. He was positive when on the ball. He created a goal and played a great through ball which lead to a pen. I'll think he'll have a good season for us this year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I like his positivity, every time he got the ball he got away from his player and tried to hurt the opposition.Think he was over enthusiastic to impress rather than lacking poor judgement.Looks ok tbh.

abdomlahor Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Some harsh comments imo. He's still a way behind in terms of fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benireduk Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I thought he was alright. Liked his positivity and always showed for the ball. Couple of wayward shots but as others have said, he's learning our style of play. Could do with ditching the dodgy coloured boots though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Showed some nice touches but looked like he needed a bit of time on the ball. Might turn out to be pretty decent but will need a little bit of patience. To be fair, I didn't think any of the three behind Benteke did much worthwhile today.

Swerbs Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Well he almost scored from a corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 10, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2013 It will take a bit of time for him to get up to scratch. There's some positives there for sure. I'm sure he's very capable of being a big player for us. Probably next season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I like his positive intent and drive, but as others have said his decision making is suspect. Looks like there's a player in there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I thought he did OK, actually. Not hiding, looking confident to have and run with the ball. Probably trying too hard, but he'll settle and could actually be better than we thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
