Popular Post AKCJ Posted 4 March 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 4 March 2023 Still convinced he's a good footballer, granted nowhere near what I thought he'd be after Villa. Would be nice to see if a good manager can fetch a tune from him. Realistically what can you do in this team? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paninistickers Posted 4 March 2023 Share Posted 4 March 2023 Garbage. It isn't even a discussion. Apologies as I vent on well meaning hipsters, sipping craft beer. But it's a classic case of them knowing loads but knowing nothing - not dissimilar to me in an art gallery admiring a drawing. In reality I'm just saying it's good as it's in an art gallery, was painted by a Japanese woman ergo it must be good. They watch these dullard European leagues of a Sunday night. Or spend their afternoons watching lcfctv u/23 stream and say half of the players are oven ready to replace Tielemans. 9 times out of 10 those who know the game can spot a player a mile off, within minutes. Seconds sometimes. This lad ain't a player in a million years. And nor are those pair of lads who played at Gillingham. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our attack in the first half was set up to give Tete the ball in space, exactly where wingers want it, and he got it and wasted it over and over. He was handed many opportunities to "express himself" on a plate, and was absolutely shocking. He had a bad game today but overall I don’t think he’s as bad as some say !

funkyrobot Posted 4 March 2023 Share Posted 4 March 2023 I get that he’s been poor for the majority of his game time but he’s shown some flashes of real quality, he was starting to get some joy when he had an intelligent footballer in Praet holding space on the left tonight. He needs to improve his first touch, he can’t get away with his current technique of purposefully pushing the ball away from his body as he takes it. It might work in France but in England you don’t get that time. His control and the first touch has to be tighter and quicker. Whatever, the fact is he’s still better than any other option we currently have available and I’ll reiterate, you can say he was shit tonight but he was still way better than Vardy. His substitution upset the balance of the team, inexplicably dragging Maddison onto the left when he is best central and moving Praet who’d been finding good space on the left across onto the right all to bring on an immobile Vardy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammo Posted 4 March 2023 Share Posted 4 March 2023 Starting to resemble a left-footed Perez - just as lightweight and easy to shrug off the ball. It looks like he can’t be doing with Rodgers’ stifling tactics - or is confused by them - and wishes he’d stayed in France. Another one Rodgers got wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Posted 4 March 2023 Share Posted 4 March 2023 sort of player who'd excel in a winning team, really shine when you're 3-0 up. not the player when you're fighting relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannythefox Posted 4 March 2023 Share Posted 4 March 2023 Doesn’t look much better than under to me, doesn’t help when after the first week Rodger’s sucked the life out of him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite clearly has skill but he is so far behind the pace of the game it is ridiculous. Needs to learn that you can not have 10 extra touches in this league. Under couldn't get anywhere near and I see similarities that they can not play 1 touch football. Needs to go to a secondary European league where it is slow enough for him to do the flashy showboating. He has marginally more skill than I show each week at 5 a side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the idea he’s been sidelined from the ‘the club will tell me when they’ve signed a player’ comment. He may of course have some input but this isn’t a Vestergard type signing, Glover is clearly a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 4 March 2023 Share Posted 4 March 2023 Haha I told people after Villa he was the most Mahrez like player seen for years… Not writing him off yet mind, or expecting him to reach those levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 4 March 2023 Share Posted 4 March 2023 Unfortunately we’re currently seeing the version Lyon saw since about October time, an indifferent player who has a good game about every 1 in 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Falling Foxes Posted 4 March 2023 Share Posted 4 March 2023 Having just watched the Pele biopic, perhaps he would be better if he didn't wear any boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1 Posted 4 March 2023 Share Posted 4 March 2023 (edited) I expected him to be more attack minded, cutting inside and taking shots with his left foot, like he did against Spurs. He spent a lot of this game, trying to take Walker Peters on the outside and crossing with his right foot. If that was the plan, we should've just kept Albrighton.

Cutting in and shooting across the keeper would be meat and drink for him but he seems to want to go on the outside. I can understand mixing up your game but surely you are boxing yourself in sticking to that process. He is either playing to instruction or stifling his own game.
