He isn’t the saviour for me, but all about opinions. Today, they forced his crosses from straighter and straighter positions, negating the impact. He’s got to learn to take his player further down the touchline upon receipt of the ball, before checking back....and occasionally go on his right too. I think it would help if we had more players getting into the box trying to get on the end of his crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we didnt have was any movement in the box. Dave standing still a lot not attacking them. Only for some poor heading ( Rowe ), we’d be talking about yet another assist. He has to start home games. He tears his full back apart mostly all the time. Such a shame we never got a fit Djuric. He’d be lapping up these crosses big time. That was a Brownhill cross in that instant, but I agree with what you say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be very important. He also almost always gives the player a ball that he is running onto which improves the momentum of the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a solution and a problem all in one. Personally I’d prefer him on the left. For the amount of time he spends on his natural (left) side, he’s more productive. Could he have played left of a midfield 3 today, in Callum’s place? Options to go wide or run central? I don’t know. We needed more impact from Callum today undoubtedly. One run first half, was about it. Too often a yard away from being able to influence or press. Cardiff, Callum was much better. Back to Nic....same with Palmer....not given a run of starts to build cohesion / consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Amazing praise on this thread for a player who is “homesick”, “unreliable”, “needs to go in January”, and “should be sacked for playing for his country”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT needs more variety - it’s always the same ball. And I can’t understand why he doesn’t simply shoot more often. If he got closer and hit his “crosses” at the goal, he'd score quite a few. Also, if he dribbled into the box more, he could win a few penalties. Nagy - glad everyone is agreeing how good he was. Lost the ball a few times, but only because he was attempting ambitious forward moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRFTG Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Forget his talent, just how good was it to see somebody WANTING the ball instead of hiding in plain sight ( perm any 5 of our midfield these past three years.) No pointing, no 'give it to him' simply I want it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 A small observation, but I like how he takes lots of touches and makes small adjustments to his position as a result. He's also pretty quick. I liked Pack but I don't remember him being quite as industrious, always looked to release the ball quickly - perhaps due to his lack of pace. I think our style benefits from having quicker players throughout the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Exile Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Excellent signing. Showed ambition every time he got the ball, yet managed possession very carefully, seemed reluctant to give it away. Needs more movement around him, more options.

There are probably only 5 or 6 passes that are what we might call “back passes” too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Not sure if it’s been said yet - but what I like about Nagy being back is that for me, he is probably the best “quarter back” we have in the squad and him playing releases Brownhill to play higher up the pitch and have a greater influence. We saw glimpses of that yesterday, Josh I hope will settle into this role and start getting more goals and assists. Nagy at times worked the deep midfield to create space exceptionally well, the shame was the good work he did wasn’t capitalised on by the rest of the team enough to create chances.

Unfortunately neither Weimann nor Diedhiou are fox in the box type players. That's nothing to do with tactics, they just don't gamble on getting into the spaces that Eliasson delivers to. Someone like Tammy would fill his boots from Eliasson's crosses. I thought Rhodri would get into those positions but somehow those types of crosses dried up once he came on.

I said when Weimann came off, even though he was not playing very well, he should have brought Diedhiou off and had Rodri and Weimann offering more movement for Eliasson. Fam being big and strong doesn't make a lot of difference if he can't get to Eliasson's crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were quite a few short chipped passes. I was thinking of one first half, and one second half. The one in the second half pretty much right in front of me on the touchline just looked so good from the angle I was at. And the first half I am not sure which one out of the two I was thinking of now, but what a classy player. Surely having such a player in our midfield, we should be able to play a more expansive game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind if players lose it now and again when they are at least trying to be positive, I also wouldn't mind if it costs us the odd goal either if we generally see some fast attacking play which in turn should get us more points than we give away.
