Yawn

Get some sleep..

 

[Keeper!]

I like this guy, he is something different, he clearly has a lot of confidence in his ability and is starting to toughen up a bit.

A rough diamond but lot's to work with.

He simply can't put two good pieces of play back to back. Everything is good then awful, then good then awful. Unfortunately he's not mentally ready for this level right now. He's a good athlete and potentially overall a good player, but not our level right now.

 

[Gabriel]

Bit of a quandary. He’s not going to improve playing the fag end of matches but he’s not good enough to be picked ahead of some other midfielders. He played okay today, but okay is never going to be enough to force his way into the starting eleven in big games, and only by playing in the starting eleven is he going to have the confidence to feel as if he belongs. He looked hungry and covered the pitch, which is good. However, I counted three ‘mistakes’. At fault for the goal, shouldn’t have fallen when clear, and overhit a through ball after carrying it up the park. The first two are unfortunate and can happen but the final one was the mirror image of what he did earlier in the season. If that’s to be his role, then he needs to deliver those passes.There‘s a player in there but where best to play him?

 

[Gabriel]

was he the only one to fall over, how many over hit passes did other players make today

Of course others fell over and over hit passes. That’s not my point. That was his first 90 minutes since Burnley in January and I thought he played okay. However, to put real pressure on the others and get regular starts against better teams he’ll need to be flawless, yet how do you do that unless you play regularly?

Well said. I remember Foden slipping all over the pitch versus Villa last week as well.

One mistake doesn't change the fact he had a very good game. He's got class and attributes our squad lack, he's in for a big 2nd season. He'll be some player when it eventually clicks.

 

[p.taker]

Has to be hard to get going when he barely plays. Alvarez plays in bad form game in and game out and Nunes plays 10-15 minutes three out of five matches. Jury still out

 

[bell_mcfc]

I think there’s a good player there, potential to be a very good player.

If Bernie goes maybe we see him further up the pitch and with more freedom. I think it’s become a bit of a cliche but he’ll have a better second season for sure.

Played well today.

 

[Lowtower]

Some lovely stuff today from him, he's getting it more and more as the weeks go by, think he will become a real asset for us.
