The Original OTIB Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) Still does some dumb stuff, loses the ball in key areas. Got away with it at the end.

Kalas did HNM no favours at one point when he passed to him with a man on. 18 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great energy, turnovers, sharp passing and a first assist too. And still some people would rather wait until he makes a mistake before commenting. He could play 88 brilliant minutes but if he slips up once that’s what they’ll concentrate on. Strange. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedNachos Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Thats's if he plays, seems we're keeping a ferrari in the garage with HNM, and when we've given Vauxhalls a go it seems bizarre he's not a leading player for us. Technically, him Scott and maybe James are on a different level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Ferret Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 His technical ability is premiership quality. His shooting less so, but think that will come. Our talisman and biggest asset at the moment 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyhutchscurlymullet Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 I'm sure Pearson has got some kind of vendetta against him. His reactions are mental when HNM makes a error compared to others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KegCity Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Criminally underrated by quite a few, always sets the tempo and does the hard work to let James play his game. If he adds goals to his game he won’t be here much longer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His reactions are mental when HNM makes a error compared to others. I think in a half it showed why a lot of us like him, and Pearson is not 100% convinced. He is technically very strong and can ‘make things happen’, as indeed he did this match. Equally, just before the winner he had one of two of those moments when he gets caught with the ball, and if it had led to a winner the other way, lots would have been slagging him off. I like him, but can see he is not a ‘safety first’ player. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrongagain Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Massengo is so frustrating- can’t wait to see him score a screamer, when he does I’m sure we will see the true quality player emerge! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I can think of. Once Palmer’s wages are free we should be spreading them between HNM and Scott. Tie them down now and actually look to build a side. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is a centre midfielder who consistently runs the midfield frustrating because he also doesn’t have screamers in his locker? Does his job well, goals would be nice but aren’t necessary. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think half his “problem” as it were us he is prepared to get on the ball anywhere and keeps mobile hence receiving a greater quantity of passes and in positions where losing it create us problems, a prime example is that pass from Kalas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like away to QPR away where he intercepted the ball outside his own area, ran the length of the pitch and crossed for Weimann who pulled it back for Martin. Plus todays third goal was a peach of a pass but not the final pass. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better Red Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Well played today HNM. Came on and made a difference. Now worth his place above the rest until at least Williams is fit. COYR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said many times before that he's a fine player who needs some coaching to become a truly great player. Made a big difference in the second half but does indeed lose the ball in key areas at crucial times (see Coventry away as an example). Currently I'd say a £15 to £20M player who could become £50M plus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Han Noah hasn't been great lately, he didn't deserve a start. Nige has stuck to his ethos, play if you play well . It Amy spur him on to more consistency .

You can see why Pearson is reluctant to start him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheddarReds Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 The whip on his cross made Weimann's second, and his through ball to Semenyo was key for Weimann's third. Well done HNM. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
