shandypants Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 He was great tonight but Byers and Bannan were better and Byers sitting and breaking up play allowed Fizz the freedom to make his surging runs. What is particularly encouraging for me is seeing Fizz’s strength and physicality. He very much reminds me of Patrick Viera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy87shef Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) Was excellent today. Something I wrote several months ago and I stand by it Edited April 16, 2022 by jonesy87shef 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel. Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 When he motors forward it’s difficult to stop him. Just needs to take the ball with him sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc-dan Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Still needs to do more defensively, a few times he stood off them and allowed them to shoot. But looked good on the ball and composed and physical. Definitely potential there to work with and imagine he'll get his chance now Luongo's out.

We looked so calm and in control until the second Dean went off. Was a bit ragged after that I thought. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real powerhouse running through the middle, bodies hang off him. The kind of player we have missed for many a year. Would never have played under Carlos as he’s not really a player who will play into a possession game but sometimes you just need a bit of brute force to simplify things. Like Alan Quinn before him, he just needs to know when to pass and when to keep on running 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should try an easy pass more often in future though...( Beating two players isn't required every time your given the ball) I think he was trying to make a name for himself tonight in front of the sky cameras.

Fablon Dunlop Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 He offers something different to Luongo. Luongo is an anchorman with playmaker ability. He solidifies that midfield like no other and he's Absolute class. Dele is a pure engine, box to box midfielder. Isn't afraid to run with the ball and carry it as far as he can. I've see few players who can match him physically. Love them both, and both offer something different. No idea why some think Dele is a bad footballer, saw some shocking criticism levelled his way no more than a week ago. Seems his introduction in this game has proven some wrong. Damn well it should have. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm an Essex Owl Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Played very well tonight. I would say one of his best performances. If we can get him some decent gametime over the next couple of years (and he plays alongside Bannan) he could be what we have missed for years. Him and Dennis = the future 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronior Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I’m genuinely not accusing anyone here of racism (intentional or otherwise) but I will say that, in 30 years of watching and reading about football, it always seems to be a black player who’s described as “raw” or a “beast”. I honestly can’t recall a white man being depicted in those terms. Just an observation. Anyway, I thought FDB and the rest were cracking tonight, especially in the first half. I feared Luongo would be missed greatlyin midfield but FDB put me right at ease from kickoff. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack of Clubs Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 There were a few times tonight where he had at least 2 or 3 players that he just would not give the ball up for and used his strength and drive really well. If he can do that and take players out of the game and then give it simply to the more skilfully effective midfielders in Bannan and Byers then there’s a good balance there. Yes he’s still raw but he’s physically a really strong player and very athletic - unlike anything we’ve seen for a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Confidence is a huge thing with these young players. We need to be singing his name and making him realize how much he is loved. Just like Mel Sterland pushed on once he knew the crowd were behind him. Big talent and could generate a huge fee in the future. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone ( hopefully) are the days when BB use to be on his case for doing silly things and taking his mind off the ganme. The guy as now stepped up to the plate and after last nights game Im so pleased for the lad for his commitment and to a degree his dominance in midfield. He gets better wiith each game. He reallly is a powerhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it can be used for anyone who is a big powerful player https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-who-discovered-wayne-rooney-6692895.amp 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
