I get what you mean. I think Gomes was more of a flatline whereas Gana's game was filled with ups and downs that ultimately evened themselves out. I guess it depends on what you prefer.

Bailey, who I rely on as the voice of reason in many threads on here (and who you're happy to agree with when he criticises Gana) saw some "ups" as well as downs today, but you missed them.

Set Bernard running at them three times, that ended in Digne putting in great balls. Had a shot gimself straight at the keeper. Started the chance that he nearly got on the end of to finish. Taxi!

Finn balor Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I think Gomes is just feeling the pace at the minute and maybe carrying a knock or two. Bailey, Romey 1878 and duncanmckenzieismagic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did get a knock a few weeks ago. I wonder if that is still affecting him? He was very poor today. We were very lucky they didn’t make the most of the chances he gave away in the first half. Hoping it’s just a blip and he gets his composure back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 He is class but I think the amount of games that he’s not used to and maybe a knock is a reason why he isn’t on top form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Lukaku was fed scraps yet still got 16 goals and 7 assists which is roughly the same as Drogba under Mourinho at Chelsea. Helped United to second foot the first time since Fergie left. But he's got a bad touch so... Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was overrun in both games. First alongside Siggy who was all over the ship and then alongside Gana who spent a fair chunk of time chasing the ball down the flanks leaving him alone in the centre. Thats how their first chance came. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Since coming into the side he’s played a lot of football, he looks tired to me. Gylfi has looked tired too. Maybe Gomes needs to sit out the Leicester game. Matt and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 The Rota surprise surprise has been unkind to us and spurs..... who incidentally folded a 1 nil lead and conceded 3 goals in 20 minutes against wolves. Liverpool on the other hand.... yeah nice. One day advantage over city which is the title decider more than likely. Gwlad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Good thing it’s a loan first, he needs to improve to be purchased in my opinion. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneyneil Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I think it’s just a classic case of us all lavishing enormous praise on players after a couple of good games. Bernard against Leicester comes to mind. He’s definitely a good player, I think he’s just played too many games after such a long period out. The only thing that concerns me is to keep on buying players who don’t score. We need players who score goals. We have far too many with zero goal threat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 After a few good early games his form has slowly deteriorated, but he's a class player so I think he will improve once he's up to speed with the League and his match time fitness.

London Blue Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 18 hours ago, hafnia said: Not doubting his quality.... I'm concerned by his mentality. Same feeling I had about Barkley. His recent poor form is due to coming from Barcelona where he hardly played a game to playing for Everton in a much more physical League without a winter break. He has all the quality to be a top midfielder, and I have seen nothing so far to suggest his mentality is anything other than good.

StevO Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 The man looks so tired still! He needs to be miles away from the squad for the Lincoln game, maybe a few days off and he’ll have had about ten days recovery to be fresh for the Bournmouth game. Not even a debate about his quality. If anyone needed an insight into his mentality, if that’s what we are going to call it, read or watch his interviews where he talks about how he was in Barcelona. He’s a player who needs an arm round his shoulder and encouragement. Romey 1878, Bailey and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
