Bailey Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Thought I would check this lad out as well and after watching this he is miles away from Premier League level at the moment. Maybe it was just one of those games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 From the videos I could find, he looks to be similar in some ways to Seamus Coleman: He'd cost us a few goals but he'd score a few as well. It's scary how young he looks. Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did okay as far as showing the player inside on his weaker foot… his naivety was not knowing which is his players weaker foot haha. I get it still today against experienced players… I’m right footed so the do it to the book and stop me from getting to the by line and crossing. But I can shoot with my left, so it usually leaves them red faced. In the premier league you need to be able to recognise if the player your facing should be shown inside to shoot on his weaker foot, or force him to the line. That can be learnt with experience. The positive I would give him, was that he didn’t just jog back into position when beaten, he threw himself at them. That can’t be learnt….. can it Keane, Iwobi, and pretty much 80% of our team.

In the premier league you need to be able to recognise if the player your facing should be shown inside to shoot on his weaker foot, or force him to the line. That can be learnt with experience. He should be told this before the game by the manager, coach or analysts. Pretty poor to not know the favoured foot of your direct opponent. Maybe Rangers don’t have the same level of analysis that premier league teams would have. If he has been told this info before the game then just an error, but he’s young and I’m sure he’ll learn.

I disagree. In the commentry they talk about the player scoring against them that way in the last game. In the first highlight you can see him trying to show him down the line but then he still gets beaten inside. He looks a bit like agility might be an issue because he gets done like that twice in the highlights. I don't think there is anything in his attitude to question on what I have seen. Even when he gets beaten inside the second time it is partly because of his eagerness to get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Yeah it's breaking all over Twitter, kinda get the vibe that there is something going on. A few sources saying that a few stumbling blocks between ourselves and Rangers have been removed, so we're close to getting him signed.

RuffRob Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 I wonder if todays 3 at the back is going to become a more familiar set up with it looking like we will very shortly have two young lads who are both maybe more familiar playing as wingbacks as they are a conventional backs. This would make sence in helping both them bed in to a new team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson played 20 odd minutes as a Right Mid but I imagine that was to shore up the defence than for his attacking capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question as I’ve not got the foggiest and don’t want to see us bringing players in to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Blue Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 The 5 at the back was to cover the fact we were playing with a championship right back and an aging right back at left back, for no other reason than the managers ego and pride. If Dinge had played we would have had a midfield 3 and had an outside chance of having some control of midfield. Rangers play with a back 4.
