Cizzler Posted Sunday at 15:22 Share Posted Sunday at 15:22 Yeah, starting to think for a top 4 team he’s not going to cut it. Zero quality on his final ball today, whether it was a pass or a shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted Sunday at 15:24 Share Posted Sunday at 15:24 How can he do these amazing turns but can't kick a ball straight 5 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted Sunday at 15:24 Share Posted Sunday at 15:24 Certianly was poor today and seemed to be reluctant to run with the ball which is one of his strengths when on form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cizzler Posted Sunday at 15:26 Share Posted Sunday at 15:26 Playing with Digne makes him look even worse. Zero threat that they could run in behind and beat Tuanzebe. I can see why we started the season with McGinn now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I. The first to say he was one of our poorest player today but I will not agree that he’s overrated, he;s just returned from a serious injury, and I think should be getting 30-40 minutes Nobody is denying he’s been very good for us in the past. He was excellent at one point. No he hasn’t been injured for 12 months, he played 21 times last season, although he’s undoubtedly had injury problems. At his best he’s excellent. I truly wish that player would come back. But he’s nowhere near that level now, and hasn’t been for ages. The purple patch was the exception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control a nightmare pass, spin his man, carry it 5 yards forward, pass it 30 yards back. The final bit he did over and over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted Sunday at 15:31 Share Posted Sunday at 15:31 (edited) needed him to go off and rogers moved the left. Wonder if that would have happened if rogers didnt go off with a potential knock. There was a number of times where it looked like we could spring a good attack but he just slowed it down and passed it back Edited Sunday at 15:31 by TheMightyVillans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted Sunday at 15:31 Share Posted Sunday at 15:31 He has had a really poor start to this season. The injury hasn't helped obviously but the longer it goes you do start to think how good he actually is. A real good 6 months when Unai first joined but pre and post that timeline it's not good if we're honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted Sunday at 15:38 Share Posted Sunday at 15:38 Needs time off the bench to find some form. He doesn't link up well with Digne but he had a good relationship with Moreno when he bombed forward. It created room for passes but also space for Ramsey to move into, Digne doesn't offer that. Would like to see Maatsen get a run in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted Sunday at 15:49 Share Posted Sunday at 15:49 People are always going to back him because he came through the Academy but I just don’t see it and I don’t think I ever have. Was good for a period under both Gerrard and Emery but has never looked consistently a top player. Rashford for example has done a lot more in a Man Yoo shirt but fans are 50/50 on him, if we want to be competing with that level of team we have to have the same level of criticism. If Ramsey continues to be shite he will be dropped and sold, simple as. Needs to up his game big time, if he has it in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was obviously carrying an injury all of last season. You would play like crap to if a screw was floating around in your foot. He's had a mixed season so far but that's to be expected when coming back from a long term lay off. It's obvious Digne really limits his play on the left. Since he doesn't overlap well, Jacob is constantly facing 2 and sometimes 3 defenders. It's not surprising his best play came when he was paired with a speedy Alex Moreno on the left. Maatsen will be that player but he will take some time to integrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted Sunday at 15:55 Share Posted Sunday at 15:55 I think I said a while ago there would come a time when he has to start dominating games. Not just having moments , like rolling people, running and creating chances. Which he can be good at. That time is coming and going. He's still the same raw 19 year old. There's no real more maturity or subtly to his game. His touch can still be wank. In tight spaces and low block he's not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because I’m not happy to blindly defend him when he’s playing badly doesn’t mean I WANT him to be bad. I really really want him to be good. But he isn’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted Monday at 10:43 Share Posted Monday at 10:43 He did well for the first goal but overall it was one of his poorest games for the club. Was shocked he played the full 90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted Monday at 10:56 Share Posted Monday at 10:56 To me he was decent until he got to the box and then just made poor decisions. That shot he fired over he had at least two options to his right. I think he's getting there, made more impact this season so far than last year which was a complete write off really.
