Charlie BCFC Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 His best game for a long time today, looked like he was going forward with intent today and looked dangerous every time he got the ball. Very different to the player who is normally indecisive when trying to beat his man 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmNick Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 His control AND shot for the goal were both pretty awful I thought, but I admired the fact he was looking to get forward and take players on. That's what allowed it to happen and it was well deserved imo. Also a good bit of skill to make space for his shot from range - not too many others would have done that. A better performance overall going forward I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Hopefully he can keep it up. Hoping it’s not a one off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fpcity Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 He played alright. Shame he hasn't got that little bit of extra pace to help beat players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham76 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I had pretty much given up on him this season, but to be fair he looked so much better tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s massively improved from what we’ve seen before 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 The second touch on the dribble inside, was what stopped Morsy making a tackle. You earn that deflection. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know after all the time of watching Meheti just not quite doing the right thing, running down into defenders and not passing. He looked so on it tonight . He had it about him. Hope it continues 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Robin Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Nice to see things work out a bit better for him today. For much of the game he was the most dangerous player on the pitch. I thought the goal was a great example of his strengths - positive and aggressive running at defenders, small quick touches to beat players, and a decent effort on goal (admittedly helped by a deflection, but those kinds of positive actions earn a bit of luck). I don't think anyone else in our team scores that goal. A good demonstration of the potential he has. Now it's just about extracting it a bit more consistently.

I still think there’s a potential player there, but he is very awkward at times or like his feet don’t quite do what his head wants them to. His intentions are there but it’s more luck than execution as to whether it comes off sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgy Red Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Mehmeti certainly has his flaws but at this moment in time he is the only player capable of creating something by beating his man. I said on another thread that we have lots of honest, hard working players, but you need a sprinkling of magic at the top end of the pitch.

Positives, but very wooden in his interview and clearly influened to be on message with comments about staff & "manager". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveF Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 He seems to have potential. His decision making is often very poor though, possibly due to him coming into the game late? I imagine with the right coaching he could become a decent player at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Had a decent 2nd half last night and I suspect he was instructed to push forward and take on defenders as opposed to try not to lose the ball and pass backwards and sideways. How much is down to the player and how much is down to the manager and the instructions he is normally given? If you want that type of player to succeed, then you have to give him freedom and allow him to take on defenders otherwise you may as well not play him at all.

Super Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Him and Cornick on either side were excellent last night. We need to see this more though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
