HappyClapper Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Another fantastic performance. Put in a good shift out wide then tucked inside and did an incredibly professional job. A few touches of class too. The left foot curler, the back heel to set up the Semenyo cross for the second. He is becoming some player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 His shot that just went over as well, think it was him- would have been a great goal, and I wonder if he gets one could he get a few? Not a scoring midfielder first and foremost but thought he was good today and just wonder if he could develop that if/when he scores one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just have to be paired with a stronger partner into the middle and get a bit more muscles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 He's filled out both physically, and I also think mentally. Seems to have a confidence about him that he didn't have before. Weimann got the goals today but I thought HNM had a decent argument for MOTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malago Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 I guess Andi Weimann will get MoM for his two goals, but I thought both HMN and Cam Pring put in 1st class performances today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomThumb84 Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Class act under a manager who knows what to do with him. Could become scarily good and we need to get him tied down to a contract extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT The Optimist Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 I agree 100% with all the comments, but to counter that King and James are equally very good pairing... but you need to be able to mix and match it. HNM was indeed quality. We are going to be decent this year. The side is transformed from the turgid stuff from last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 I was right in line with his shot, think I'd have been on the pitch if it had gone in. He'll score very soon I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 I always thought he had talent but was a bit too lightweight, easily pushed off the ball and bullied. He certainly must have worked on this side of his game and now looks stronger and confident. He takes a battering and just gets up and comes back for more. He does his fair share of defensive work too. A great improvement and a joy to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.D Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 He looks different class now, forgot all that LJ taught him.. He's being coached well now and learning his trade from Andy King and Matty James, and it shows.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirlieBeachRed Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 What a change from him this season. Maturing well and being used properly. It seems he has a clearer understanding of what is expected of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo Andersons dietician Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 It isn’t just this season - the end of last season he was the only player performing anything like good enough. Gonna be a hell of a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliftonCliff Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Rated him from the off and so glad Pearson can see in him what some others apparently haven't. The belief in him shown by the manager will do him the world of good - not that he ever lacked confidence in the first place. I am particularly liking the combination of his energy and James's authority, experience and composure. It's a good, balanced pairing and HNM can only benefit from playing alongside MJ.

marcofisher Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 He’s quickly becoming a class player and is no longer being targeted and bullied physically like clubs did after the stellar first few performances. Next step is to add a few attacking contributions to his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has hasn’t it. Neither him or Scott are “rabbits in the headlights” debutants are they. It’s obvious they have something special. It doesn’t always end well, but to be so harsh on Massengo like some fans have has always amazed me. Had he been an Academy player it would’ve been very different. As I’ve posted many times, very few 18/19 year olds play many minutes in the cut and thrust of the Championship. 2 minutes ago, BTRFTG said: Back with the confidence he had when he first arrived.

SydneyCity Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Monaco Champion’s League player turns out to be good enough for Bristol City. I’m not being facetious either.

Offside Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Like with Weimann, his attitude and work rate are exceptional. One of the few players in the final third of least season who emerged with any credit. HNM is a very good player and he has a big future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing balance, not just his touch but the way he uses his body to protect the ball. He comes away with the ball from such tight positions. Thought he did a good job out wide today. No doubt his end product has to improve. He has it in him to run at players like he did in the 2nd half. I like King but I think Massengo brings pace to our midfield. So sharp over short distances and so aggressive. Totally agree Jon. I thought that was his best performance for us. Showed strength, composure, awareness and pace allied to his engine. As others have said, amazing when the manager believes in you. I get the impression that NP is starting to really enjoy this. Let’s hope we can keep building.

TRL Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Always Liked Massengo, top talent water carrier type player (interestingly I thing Dasilva could also play that role rather than left back) with HNM him and Scott in the team, we should really be looking at improving our set pieces, the amount of fouls they draw are unbelievable. Anyway am not sure I have seen it mentioned anywhere... Cracking backheel for our 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
