He's athletic, but you don't pay as much as we did for a bit of athleticism. He needs to improve. He is definitely too lightweight ATM. Needs to either become stronger or become wiser as to when to just release the ball rather than trying to bustle past players, and then end up losing out.

Tom13 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The thing is...if he's not driving forward, who will? Veretout looks really good but not sure he's powerful enough either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs some wise words from Remi and some time out of the team I think... Who's gonna play CM instead though? Even in poor form he's better than Westwood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) i don't think he even started well, more a case of 'he played when we didn't lose' briefly Edited January 10, 2016 by VillanousOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 What has happened to him since his injury. He was so good before that. Thought we had a player. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought we had a player. This. He has really gone backwards. And he was the one who came to us with the avowed intention of using us as a stepping stone to a big club. How's that lookin' now, fella. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Not been impressed by him at all but hoping he starts to get some form in the second half of the season. Looks a poor signing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Yes, so far a total waste of money, hasn't lived up to his early promise, I think his form has improved a little bit of late but frankly looks like a player worth half what we paid for him.

HanoiVillan Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 He just seems like a nothing. Doesn't score, doesn't assist, isn't the world's strongest tackler, doesn't drive with the ball. I'm going off him rapidly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 His first touch is shocking. Im thinking its confidence, or hoping anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'm thinking that confidence is a huge issue with him. In his first few games it looked like we upgraded on Delph and now he looks utterly poor at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His job is to win the ball and retain possession IMO. 3rd best interceptor in the Prem now, joint 6th for tackling and 85.7% passing success rate. I'd say he's doing his job. He's not meant to be eye-catching. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ermie123 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 No far from it. I have not seen anything to say he is worthy of a place in any team anywhere. He usually vanishes from the match after about half an hour. I suppose we will will have to beg to differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
