Lez Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Is not the answer when playing at home. Holds on the ball far too long, neither effective defensively or going forward. Honeymoon period is over, he was badly exposed today and offered very very little. I hope Henrickson gets up to speed quickly. Massengo and Smith is not a CM partnership that will push us to promotion.....too negative, too lightweight, zero creativity, little physicality, zero goal threat.....teams crowd the midfield at the gate....that's what away teams do.....these 2 in a 2 is gena result on being dominated as was the case today.

bristolcitysweden Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Our superior central midfielder is out on loan for the season. Happy days. When Smith got the ball in midfield he is waving his arms for support. BUT standing still. You create passing alternatives by your own forward movement. Not calling back Morrell was a hughe mistake.

cidercity1987 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Total vanity project, most posters absolutely creaming their pants about this guy during the first few games. I remember getting about 10 aubergines for stating a 70% pass percentage wasnt great. He could be great in future, is not currently a Championship level player despite some good games and the overreaction has probably been damaging to his development.

Dynamite Red Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Young player, undoubted potential but a lot to learn. When you have 3 seasoned international midfielders on the bench plus a £3m midfielder who cannot make the squad LJ has an embarrassment of ritches and needs to better many his choices.

I've not been impressed by him. Because he's 18 and has big hair he gets attention. I think Joe Morrell would do a better job for us in midfield in that position. Send him out on loan next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Another that needs to be plugged into a ‘power point’. We can afford one, maximum two ‘lightweights’ in any team. Basically, Dasilva plus one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 He is a very talented and promising midfielder. But he is not ready now. We should have got Joe Morrell back from loan. And possibly also Liam Walsh if we want to give one midfield spot to a promising young player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumpys Dietary Advisor.. Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 I think he is indeed a very decent player and will go on to much bigger and better things... Right now, we have simply dragged him down to our standard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Walsh is a fantastic talent but he would not fit into LJ tactics of slow build up, pass and supposedly move. Walsh like to attack and drive teams forward, no chance he would be able to do this in the current home tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingswood Robin Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Maybe he needs to go out on loan! The whole midfield set-up was as weak as piss. No drive or incision at all. When we did get hold of it, players were just running away from the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCulturalBomb Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 The kid has talent no doubt, but playing him in that position so attacking despite being an defensive midfielder is absolutely crazy. He needs a loan come next season, one of the better league one teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
