FreshOwl Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 The more I see them on the pitch, the more I’m starting to resent them. I can forgive lack of quality for effort, but having watched the extended highlights and watching these 2 useless lumps walking around the pitch for 90 minutes, my blood is about to boil I’ve said it all season with Joao, but the way he applies himself on a football pitch is an absolute disgrace, and I would have had shot of him a long time ago. He reminds me of Marko Arnautovic at West Ham with his languid style, however Arnautovic can get away with strutting around as he’s a class footballer who can hold up the ball, link play and score quality goals. Joao is a good finisher, but can’t hold the ball up, can’t link play, isn’t strong, doesn’t even attempt to run the channels or play on the shoulder. Nuhiu, well I’ve learnt to find his flaws endearing, but he should NEVER start a game for this club My god I can’t wait to have different options upfront. Can’t wait for Winnall to come back, he may not be the answer but he can’t be any worse than watching these two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy87shef Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Watch Arnautovic over 90 minutes. He might ‘strut’ every now and then but he works damn hard and does a lot of running. Just applied himself when needed. Last night neither Nuhui or Joao could be bothered at all. Sad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daizan10 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Strange for Nuhiu, I usually maintain that Nuhiu has a great attitude with a limited amount of ability. If hes starting to play like he cant be arsed his career is over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him in and around the penalty area and he will score goals but playing him in a wide role in a front 3 and having him not get anywhere near getting in scoring positions is futile. Don't know what to say about Nuhiu last night, barely put a foot right yet on Friday he had a positive impact in the few minutes he was used for. As for the last bit, I wouldn't hold your breath, the new injury will make those in charge even more cautious with his return, likely to be at least a couple of weeks from involvement with the under 23's and then 3 games for them before he is considered for the 1st team bench.

Hoping the fact Winnall has already 2 played 2 U23 games, will mean he doesn't have to play another 3 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I disagree slightly, I don’t know if it came across as much on the telly but due to his position Joao was doing a lot of work running back into the full back area more often than not. His hold up play was poor, but playing him in the “wide forward” position is a waste of what he is. Nuhiu is what he is. He looks terrible a lot of times because of his sloth like pace. However his all round game was terrible last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 When they played together as a proper 2 upfront last season they looked good and complimented each other - so why change that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that he picked up another injury in doing so and will now need rest and rehab from this, I think that given our current approach it is more than likely that he will have to have another spell with the young uns when he gets over this current injury.

pazowl55 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Joao is a super sub Nuhiu is a super sub both don't do enough over 90 mins to warrant a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A E Neuman NYowl Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Don't bank on Winnal coming in being the saviour. It's the slow sideways passing system that we are playing this season that is making the forwards look worse than they are. Defences are organised and the forwards are markedup when the receive the ball. Currently we have Nuhiu looks like a carthorse Joaoa looks like Bambi Fletcher looks like a hamster running like mad on a wheel but getting nowhere Reach Hibernating for 75 minutes per game They are not all that bad.

clampyowl Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 joao is not playing well at the minute, but you have to bear in mind that when he is up front with nuhiu, he is alongside possibly the biggest numpty ive ever seen in a Wednesday shirt, his goals at the back end of last season was the worst thing to happen to this club in the cc era, because we kept him, he shouldn't be allowed to own football boots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And vice-versa. I think it's more to do with Joao being asked to drop in and drop wide that's the issue. As it is with the central striker becoming isolated rather than them as a pairing. Which when done directly can be effective. Both suffered last night and neither looked anywhere capable as a result. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really starting to despise Nuhiu, as he is lazy and poor at his job but getting very well paid to be so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
