glastonred Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 I'm not saying he was the best player on the pitch today, but credit where credit is due. He was ignored for most of the time he's been at City, shunted off to Hull, where he seems to have been appreciated. Then he's summoned back to Ashton Gate, and plunged straight back into a team of players, most of whom he probably had only just met, for the Portsmouth game, and then kept his place for today. I thought he did well, all things considered. So let's give him a chance to make his mark, and not just write him off as an also-ran. He showed glimpses today of a decent player. Once he becomes more familiar with the rest of the team, and likewise they with him, he may surprise us all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Yes thought he was good today, this is his time to shine. C’mon Hacks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 He showed signs of being that "ball carrier" that we are missing without Weimann or COD, but it was good to see his defensive work yesterday. When I have seen him play in the past, he seems to lack a football brain to some extent, almost like a player who hasn't been brought up in the profession. Yesterday he showed more understanding of his role, so maybe it's just that the coaches have found the right way to get their messages across.

Lew-T Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Looks to be another decent option. Don’t think he will feature much when Pato and Weimann are back though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 I like how he actually looks to take a man on, granted he didn’t get much luck with this yesterday but he’s not afraid of taking someone on. We’ve not had that for a while. Still probably less than 8 games at this level so will continue to improve if given game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s happy going on either foot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gasbuster Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 He at least looked confident yesterday; and made himself available. A big improvement on what we have seen before; a rabbit in the headlights who looked completely lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He at best kept his shape. Offered nothing going forward. You would think he had a good game. He’s played twice and done nothing.

He’s a bit like Mark Little when he’s in the final third. Good use of body to avoid getting muscled out of it. He isn’t perfect by any stretch, but he gave a good performance for the team yesterday...as the subset of pics show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
