"His head is in the clouds and he talks to the starlings about seafood and barbecues." I think it was, spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalowlisback Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Looked injured after about half an hour, Fletcher and a few others were checking on him, not sure if it was Bullen that walked off with him at half-time? Surprised he came back on for the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 He does some good work..and he's got some valuable attributes... but he's found his level. Handy championship player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan™ Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Sometimes I still wonder what kind of player he might have pulled himself into if only he hadn't missed that chance from 6-yards on his debut for Portugal. Could have been a career defining moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toooldforthis Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I doubt any centre back knows they’ve been in a battle with João. I’d like to see him mix it up a bit. Chase down, be awkward, run at CBs, use arms and shoulders...be more present and become feared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I mentioned this the other week and he's been the same since the end of his first season with us. He has all the ability, athleticism and finishing prowess to play Prem, but misses one fundamental attribute which is why he's still here, his attitude let's him down time and again. Needs to front up and get stuck in and grow a pair if he's actually going to reach his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he comes up against a robust physical cb that bullies him he just disappears and wilts away like melting snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akbuk Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Coming off the bench is his best position he doesn't like the physical side of the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why he frustrates so many of us is becouse at times he's proven he CAN do it, there's been periods when he's on it and been almost unplayable no matter how you try to stop him... Next match he's back to being invisible again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has come on as a 2nd half sub 12 times this season and only scored once - Ipswich away. In his 16 full matches (I include Bristol City away where he came on after 18) he has 8 goals. He should start on Tuesday. 3-0 when he went off tells us enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know and I'll agree simply becouse out of our array of strikers he's the one most likely to actually put the ball in the back of the net.

Growl67 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 A really downbeat performance from the lad I thought. Even when we scored he could hardly be bothered to celebrate, I got the impression he was sulking over something, even more than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
