Dinho lad Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I don't really understand why we've signed this lad and would prefer a match fit Tiote. A strange January signing, summer okay, but January when what you need is players who can hit the ground running and turn your season around? Unlike you to judge a player's ability so soon. What was that about Demba Ba again?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hmmmm. Was he at fault for their first? I thought it was more the back 3 not knowing WTF to do. They didn't know whether to play offside or which one of them should go with the runner. What did Saivet do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stream I Watched it on wasnt the best to be honest. Trying to tell Saivet and Gini apart was particularly difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Looks a bit of a non entity of a player to me so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A strange January signing, summer okay, but January when what you need is players who can hit the ground running and turn your season around? I share this view...money wasted from early impressions of him. We needed a decent winger and Phillips should have been the target when Levy started messing about with silly fees for Townsend.

What was that about Demba Ba again?! Did you even read what I'd wrote?? I said it was a strange signing for January as he's expected to hit the ground running and change things. If signed in the summer window he has pre season to get to know the players and establish himself. We need a striker who can create chances himself as well as convert them, Loic Remy fits that bill and is what we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got injuries to both Anita and Colback who I still expected to start ahead of this guy for the first couple of weeks at the very least. I still say, play this guy over Colback any day of the week and let him adapt. We can't be much worse in central midfield than what we've been this season. Also agree on the striker part, we need one and fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Yet another McClaren mistake in this game was taking him off. He was our best outfield player by a mile prior to being subbed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what i said when he took him off. He could have took any fucker else off and i wouldn't have been bothered but he decided to take the one player off who actually looked decent. Top manager.

Ankles Bennett Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Mclaren has clearly lost the plot by taking save off when he was our best outfield player. Time for him to fall on his sword I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Pinkman Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Best outfield player last night, did his defensive work well and looked composed on the ball. He was actually covering for Shelvey at times who seemed to be constantly out of position. The only reason he was brought off was because he was an easy target or wouldn't kick up a fuss. Opitimises how much of a coward McClaren is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AY Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I think what shows his importance was that we were starting to get a grip of the game and lost all control when he was taken off. It was game over after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 He was our best midfield yesterday and I'd still only give him 3/9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Was playing well, unfair to take him off and not surprised that as soon as he went off it was attack after attack from Everton. We went from poor to utter dogshit due to that substitution Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 He looked shaky in possession but his positioning and discipline etc was good. I think he'll turn out to be a good signing if we don't get relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
