He is a rugged player who has shown more than once that he won't be pushed around or intimidated by the opposition. Exactly what we need more of across the team. Well he isn’t a great right back. He’s solid at this level. He’s got good crossing, poor passing, good in the air, poor positioning when defending, good aggression. He’s solid. A 6/10 for 3 games then he’ll have a 3/10 then an 8/10. Its all well and good him being one of our most potent attacking threats, but in a team that is defensively not sound, that is not a priority.

Certainly decent enough Champ RB, who’s capable of having a great game and a bad one every now and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winsaw Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 His problem is Hunt is a better player than him, defensively there is not a lot between them but Hunt offers far more when attacking , as he's only going to be a back up player 6m is far to much if they would let us have him for 1.5m then would be worth having, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't many players who are worse than Hunt defensively who has always looked far better at wing back than full back. I suspect LJ doesn't want Pereira because next season he wants to revert to the 5-2-1-2 we used at the start of this season, as it is looking unlikely that we will not be keeping Eliasson.

À Portuguese U21 international going to a ‘ rich ‘ Championship club aiming for promotion doesn’t sound too over the top however I agree that we could probably do better for that money . I would not want to go above 3 million for him . There should be better value out there for 6 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fit Pisano would be my choice over both current RB, a real full back and decent going forward. Perhaps lost a bit after a nasty injury I always sensed from day 1 that. LJ was never comfortable with Pereira from the Brum debut when he welcomed him to the championship. Nice question for McGregor to put to LJ at a press conference.

I accept a lot of that I'd say that Hunt has been 9/10 more than once. Isn't inconsistency a given , except at the higher and highest levels? I remember Paul Merson saying this after his Walsall side beat us at home, along the lines of "That was great but at this level they can't do what I want them to do every game" And SOD for all his failings said it was vital that the players, again at at the lower levels of football need to provide an "extra man" in the way they apply themselves.

What is the point of bringing him here to back up to normally average at best Hunt? The guy is Portuguese having spent the last couple years in Italy. How best to settle him? Give him a start here and there and be a bench option or give him a 10 game run where he can sink or swim? He obviously has talent being an u21 for his country and getting good minutes for Serie A sides. He needed to play and play a lot before he was seemingly discarded. Will probably start today and have a shocker now I have said it. But I do think he should have been given more opportunity. And I don’t buy the see them in training every day because you aren’t going to train well being low on confidence, not everyone trains amazingly, and we have seen plenty of players get game after game being not very good. Surely performances when they count go into keeping your place even if you train your heart out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 I'm sorry if this has already referred to, as I haven't read through.............But if Pereira had played today......it would have been Pereira Vs Pereira. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
