Welcome To The Jungle Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Can't pass, poor touch, no ability in the air, scored a goal, we were worse when he went off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corleone Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Seems to have mixed views. I thought he looked dangerous and the Bradford defence struggles to handle him....at times his touch was poor but at the same time looked. Y far our most creative and dangerous player. I thought for brief spells he was almost unplayable, no doubt others will disagree. Either way he scored and set one up, and in my opinion I thought he had real class, even if a bit sloppy at times.

Rovers-ran-away Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Quite skilful when he actually had the ball at his feet , is obviously confident in his ability and a cool finish. I personally think will be a good signing for us but you can see why he could be perceived as lazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRed Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Dangerous when he got space on the edge of the box and could run at defenders or play a clever pass, but was frustrating at times with poor touches and passes, hopefully that was just first game rustiness.

Cap flinger Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Poor in the air for a big guy but quick feet on the floor, scored one and made one, looked knackered towards the end so subbed. All in all pleased with his performance, also broke up a few of their attacks so no shy of deffending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tins Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Everyone says he is poor in the air, but we won a lot more in the air than I thought he would! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheddarReds Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 he's more of a glancing header type than a back to goal or bullet header guy, for a big lad he gets pushed off the ball easily IMO. I think his first touch is off at times, SOD says he needs to improve his fitness. However, when you give him the ball he does things. A goal and an assist.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 in commentary today they were impressed and it was said, you never know what he is going to do and he looks as though he dosen't know either and that makes him dangerous.

BCFC Jordan Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 He was my MoTM, looked composed on the ball with some neat passing and good attempts at linking up play. Lovely finish as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfOfWestStreet Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Everyone says he is poor in the air, but we won a lot more in the air than I thought he would!

Who Are Rovers? Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Class, if you give him the ball, he will create something of it. Best player for us today by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Our play this season is going to go through him a lot. Think we saw what he'll bring today, quality goal and some excellent link up play. He'll also frustrate at times but at our new level will often look a class apart, I think.

Evander SnowyField Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I don't think he's lazy at all, his demeanour could be perceived as that but he is constantly talking and might put his hand up to say he doesn't want a pass if he's not in a great position. I think he's quite clever and in my opinion played well. You've got to remember some of these lads have only played a few games since Christmas, if that.

David Brent Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I was actually expecting less of a work rate but there were several occasions where he was back in defence. I felt when he had the ball at his feet that something was going to happen. Nice pass out to Baldock, held his run and a nice cool finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcherryberry Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Once JET is fit people will soon forget about Albert. He can get away with being lazy being that good on the ball. Like someone else said give JET the ball in the final third & he'll win you games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Thought he showed glimpses of what he can do when he had the ball but I'm assuming he's still not match fit as he showed little else. Not knocking him though as I thought he did ok but when he didn't have the ball he seemed a little out of it. There were a few moments when he showed his strength well too muscling players off the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 he's more of a glancing header type than a back to goal or bullet header guy, for a big lad he gets pushed off the ball easily IMO. I think his first touch is off at times, SOD says he needs to improve his fitness. However, when you give him the ball he does things. A goal and an assist. I thought the opposite, CR. He was one of our few players who can't be hustled off the ball easily. For his goal, he held off two midfielders successfully to make loads of ground and to pass to Baldock and then held off a defender to score. He seems to combine with Sam quite well. Fitness might be a concern, but for my money he was Robbo Construction's MotM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearded_red Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I feel JET's performance today was in some ways a microcosm of how I see his time at City going. Some excellent moments mixed in with some pretty ordinary ones. He is easily one of the most talented players in this league and at times will do things that any other player in our squad couldn't even dream of doing. When he is on his game and things are going for him he will win games on his own. Some fans will absolutely love him and defend his weaknesses due to him being such a special talent. (I fully expect myself to be firmly in this camp) On the other hand; He will at time appear lazy and lackadaisical and will make sloppy errors that leave you tearing your hair out. There will be games when he is largely anonymous and appears somewhat of a waste of time. And his languid style and the fact that just like every other flair player in the world he will have his off days means that he will irritate some fans greatly. One thing is for certain is that I am heartened that for the first time in a while we have a manager that not only appreciates talent, but will attempt to find away to get the best from his most dangerous players. I think we have all seen enough managers at Ashton Gate who appear somewhat frightened of flair players and prefer marathon runners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
