Demitri_C Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 His dive was pathetic. I believe this is the second time he has done this for us? Really don't like that cheating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Very hot and cold. Reminds me of a rawer Erik Lamela. Edited February 2, 2019 by Keyblade 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Really needs consistency, he has quality, but just doesn't show it enough and his decision making leaves a bit to be desired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnock1984 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 How much is the option to buy? 50/50 on this guy at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 He did produce one of the best chances of the game though. If he was consistent, he wouldn't be playing in the championship. We're going to have to deal with his inconsistencies because he is currently our best winger. Hopefully he can keep getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I thInk we’ve seen enough to show the option to buy should not be taken on him - far too inconsistent . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 You can see when he's going to lose the ball, every time. Throwing legs around like Michael Flatley but not actually throwing anyone. So so easy to play against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Works better defensively. Then what he used to. That has improved. However, very frustrating when getting forward! Either brilliant or wastfull. Wish he was a bit more direct and stopped the dribbling(steppovers and such), he's more effective when he just carries the ball forward. Would improve a lot if he learns to release the ball quicker and orient himself of the players around him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 4/5m I’d probably take it up. But 7 would over paying I think. Still young however and hopefully the inconsistency gets ironed out as at the moment he’s are only creative winger.

Mark Albrighton Posted February 3, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2019 Glad we decided not to take up the option of buying him in January. End of the season for that decision is the most logical time for that, my gut feeling is he won’t be here next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he holds the ball for too long and is very wasteful with potential opportunities. He’s very similar to Bolasie in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 best chances. One when Abraham missed the open goal and the cross for his header. He is frustrating but he is also currently our most creative player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I like him but yes, he's very inconsistent. Our best winger but I think that isn't saying much considering the options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avcol Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Even though he was dangerous in spells yesterday, I don't think we should be signing him permanently come the end of the season unless his contribution improves significantly. Definitely don't think he'd cut it in the premier league if we ever get there. Really heavy first touch quite often as well which is another flaw in his game. Has to start each week though because he's better than anything else we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Infuriating, when your touch is failing you and the full back has you in your pocket you have to battle and try something new. Sick of seeing him give up on the ball because he’s been stood up, or not keep moving because the first ball doesn’t go to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I like him, he wasn't particularly good tonight but showed some desire and does create chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 He's just not good enough for me, it may be a confidence thing but he offers next to nothing week after week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
