NYCOWL Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 We are really missing his energy aren't we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohgoditsjames Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Not just his energy but his attitude and work ethic, one minute he back tracks to defend and then a minute later he's putting the ball into the back of the oppositions net. He really has developed into a classy player like Hutchinson. Gutted for him, he'd of reached 10 goals this season I reckon, possibly more.

TheEnchanter Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Think having him,Hutchinson and Lees out is major for us. Would possibly extend having Hooper out for 10-12 games has been a bit of a miss too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 We are badly missing him. He is the one that made the whole thing tick. Hope he can get back for march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 A big miss. Still very surprised we didn't sign cover. I appreciate Jones and Abdi are there to be called upon, but they don't play with the same vigour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trask43 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 His energy and movement is like having an extra player, it allows our 442 to work similar to how kante allowed leicester to be succesful playing 442 last year. One minute hes doing the defensive side of the game the next minute hes breaking past the strikers or popping up in space just off them he links the team up and stops the front two looking so isolated. Bannan has played well recently in cm but his natural tendency is always to come deep looking for the ball and he often ends up doing the job of hutch/jones for them which then leaves us short higher up the pitch. He also doesn't have the same goal threat as lee which means we rely on the movement of reach wallace which again has worked at times in the last few games but leaves us with little out wide.

Dave78 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 We're really missing him. I wish we'd signed someone to cover his position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Somni Jennings Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Seeing Forestieri's work rate tonight, did make me wonder if he could do that job for us - He has the energy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DobbinTheDonkey Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Lee breaks the lines, Bannan tried a few times tonight but the passing was truly awful. Then when he realised Jones was worse at tackling than him decided to stay put. Most of the season the passing has been too slow, so even when Lee has made the run it either doesn't get passed or the opposites manage to react. Nando could be the playing breaking from deep, possibly Reach but without a midfielder that can tackle and defend it was never going to happen. We use attacking fullbacks because they get space to how we play, Lee helps out as a third person out there. The problem is our fullbacks cannot cross the ball Edited February 3, 2017 by DobbinTheDonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Lee's left a big bloody gap in the middle of midfield, it's pretty anonymous without him. Bannan tries his nackers off, but he just doesn't lift us like Kieran does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wath-owl Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 We miss him, but in fairness it's not like we were playing much better during the first half of the season when he was an ever present. Our god-awful style of play has nothing to do with his absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Just now, Rogerwyldesmullet said: He gets better with every match he misses He's our best player. Has been for 4 seasons in my opinion. This season he was off because he was playing through that injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
