Guest domSWFC Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Think Fletcher could be a good Partner with him next week. Someone who can hold the ball up for him to run off of could be quite effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beckford Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Wasn't really impressed with him to be honest. Put himself about but generally our defenders dealt with him. They didn't deal with Reach, Forestieri, Wallace or Buckley whatsoever though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I've frequently heard him being described as strong - can't say I see a great deal of evidence of that myself though. He's got attributes alright, but strength isn't one of them. Gets out-muscled far too often for that to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow_Blu Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Looks like a young Arsenal player if i'm honest . I could say ' If he's good enough For them , he's ..... ' ...... Still not sure ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamK2292 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 João has the potential to be a great player. The ability is there but he’s so frustrating to watch at times. He's a tall lad but also very weak, having no strength. He drifts in and out of games. I’m sure he’ll get better with age and experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 29 minutes ago, I am a man said: He as awful. If we don't win the game, this thread isn't created. You should change your name to I am a depressed man who never has anything positive to say about our club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkstar Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 He played OK today, no more than that. We really need to get away from the idea he's a young player. He's 23. Same age as Reach and I never hear him being given the same concessions Joao gets. He's getting to the point now where potential needs to turn into consistent performances, and he has the perfect opportunity over the next few games to impress with FF out. Let's hope he can step up.

Must be killing you, 2 ff & Joao starts = 6 points. You're obsession with Hooper is making you bitter. Joao did well yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wharncliffeowl Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Poor today. Won a few headers in the middle of the pitch but nothing else. Cannot control the ball. Can't recall a single effort at goal from him or even seeing him inside the box but to be fair I did doze off once or twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Dont know what game everybody been watching .he won loads of flick ons worked hard tracking back in defence and held the ball up well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 He makes a huge difference to the overall team. Makes our pressing game so much more effective with his ability to eat up the ground. Something that we lack when Hooper plays. Its the same Hutchinson moves to midfield. The tempo and press improves ten fold, when replaced in midfield by Jones it showed.

wharncliffeowl Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 See ....I'm old school. I like strikers to be having a go at scoring. Did he have a pop at goal at all? Probably too busy helping out the defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbertOB Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I dont like to criticise the lad but he was no more than OK today. We were crying out for Nuhui to boss their centre backs. Fletcher did when he came on so Nuhui would have flattened them.....mind you he probably wouldnt have scored the penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the posts have been positive, some not so. Mine was negative on this occasion. Doesn't mean I'm right or wrong. It's just an opinion.

MallorcaOwl Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I thought Jao had a decent game, not brilliant, but not rubbish. He has been out of action for some time, so give him a bit of leeway on his first game back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joao did well yesterday. If I have an obsession (Ok I probably do) it's to see players in their best position for the team. When fit, I would have Hooper, Fletch and FF on every team sheet. If Lucas has improved, and I hope he has, then I would be delighted to see him pushing Fletch for his shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleo Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Can't believe half what I'm reading on here. Thought he played well yesterday. Won more flick ons than seen him do before, held the ball up, layec it off, ran his socks off and GOT KICKED FROM PILLAR TO POST, and pulled all over the park due to the lack of protection from the three amigos in black. By the way, a more inept referring display I have yet to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
