Red Army 75 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I like AW . I read a post the other day about how useless he was couldn’t do this or that . But like most players it’s confidence. IMO JH has been class the last couple of games. And ultimately it must come back to LJs lack of man management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Johnsons sacking could be the start of Andi's revival in a new position. Just like Paterson though, he needs to be consistent. On their days, both players are excellent at this level. Both are far too inconsistent though. Up to now at least.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfitInMyPocket Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Might just be me but found him a little frustrating in possession today. I think the fact we created more free-flowing chances throughout the game got him into positions to set up our goals today. In most games this season he didn't even have the opportunity to get into good attacking positions with the ball as he would run into blind alleys out wide. His press was fairly good and his final ball was spot on for those three goals but i felt he could have been even better. I always feel like he needs someone close to him within the first couple touches to lay it off just so he doesn't lose the ball which he often has done this season. I'm not gunna go head over heels after this performance because i think a team with a much more competitive midfield like a Preston/Swansea might not give him the time or space to do what he did today. Lets see him get those crucial touches and layoffs and make the difference against the teams around us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Bladder Posted July 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I thought he was definately wasted out on the wing, maybe that more central role will be his making The is no doubting his ability when he has his tail up, lets hope he enjoys the last 3 games of the season.

Gazred Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 He's got the brain but not always the ability. Always guaranteed to put a shift in regardless. Not sure he justified starting every week under LJ but the system suited him today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Think we can all agree that he’s rarely played at his best wide right. He has had his moments centrally in different roles. Delighted for him....and Wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curr Avon Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 When he makes instinctive passes they tend to come off. Give him too much time and the result's different. However, the guy must run on fumes sometimes 'cause he doesn't stop running. If he can improve his tackling and passing ability then AW is a shoe-in as a CM in our resurrected 3-5-2. I'm just not convinced, yet, that we can play him and Pato against the better teams. One may have to make way for a holding midfielder who can tackle.

Fatalist Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 The best bit about the third goal was that Weimann was there to play Wells in - central and well forward. quite a novelty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lez Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Not a long term solution due his passing ability. 1st and 2nd were simple balls and wonder strikes but the 3rd was a poor pass the defender somehow decided to completely mess up. On another day he gets 4 5 assists today and too many times his passing let's him down in good positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi the Robin Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 He did well today but I can’t see how it can be called an assist for Patos goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for that formation to work we need very high work rate in midfield to support both defence and attack. We gained a lot from Weimann's running today. I often wondered why LJ teams could have such high work rate players doing all they can with their running, Weimann, O'Dowda etc. Yet we'd still get dominated and not create anything. Was it that the pressing was not as a team? I always thought because of the 17/18 season LJ knew all about pressing triggers etc. But maybe he just knew one kind of way out of all the variations in systems and patterns etc to get them pressing as a team well. We didn’t drop our defensive line either meaning al, outfield players in touch with other. Don’t know if you could hear but there were continuous shouts of “don’t drop, don’t drop”. Not sure if that was sideline or on the pitch. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
