Not sure there aren’t a few on wind up in this thread. He did okay last night after his assist he had a good spell. He don’t track for their second and first half he was mainly anonymous giving the ball away quite a bit. Wasn’t the worst but if we are now suggesting this guy is the answer to our issues I’d ask where did he go in that last 15 mins? He can run quicker than most I’ll give him that but he’s not world class as someone suggested in this thread.

And wanting him first name on team sheet for Sunday some, bizarre, if we are relying on this lad to provide us with a shock Sunday……well we are kidding ourselves

Yes, we’re grasping at straws but any port in a storm. After a long period in the wilderness, he has looked quite sharp and motivated these last few weeks. That can’t be said of everybody,

 

[skillman]

It was unusual seeing so much energy in midfield.

 

[Akira]

Folks might think he's not good enough, but at the moment, he's invaluable to the team. At a time when we have players either out injured, off form, or plain unfit. Fills in anywhere across the midfield and gives us much needed energy in the team.

Credit where credit's due, he's been one of the brighter points this season when there aren't many.

 

[clarion]

He provides something. Almost always.
One of the few motivated players at the moment.
Play him.

 

[red 2 hats]

Needs to be playing central midfield, gives us some legs, hopefully he continues this improvement in his form.

 

[bluethai]

It's clear that he's more comfortable playing in the middle, every move and pass there seems more natural than when he's forced to play on the wing.

 

[Kinkladze 1]

Lovely cross to pick haaland out.

 

[John Wayne]

He's superb at winning the ball back. Looks like he takes it personally when he gives it away and sprints like fuck to dispossess the opponent. His biggest problem is perhaps giving the ball away in the first place, but he is improving with us. If nothing else, he's one of the more entertaining players to watch.

 

[Mcfc_110]

Showed exactly why he should of been starting central. He looked comfortable both high up the pitch and deep, won the ball back multiple times and improved our press no end. He made 5 tackles and made 3 interceptions, nobody else even got close to that, and gave us much more penetration and speed to our attack. He has to start as many games as possible right now. There's a lot of things he's not and he's by no means a traditional pep player but we've got too many pep players right now. His willingness to go forward on and off the ball and his all round mobility is something we lack massively. He also has a knack off making something happen and has the best end product of any of our attackers at the moment bar Kev and Erling. People questioning where he was for the last 15 minutes, what do you expect him to do when their attacker is passed through one on one for the first, The second we give the ball away in an awful area, break our defensive line to play them onside then awful keeping and the third we play a suicidal high line and our keeper thinks he's superman. Maybe I'm blinkered but not sure how many of the midfield or attack can change those?
