Fox in the North Posted 17 February 2021 Share Posted 17 February 2021 That’s a relief, we genuinely can’t afford to lose any more players long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 17 February 2021 Share Posted 17 February 2021 He just isn’t consistent. He can be excellent or useless. The big issue that I’ve noticed with him is his pace. He has head starts but gets overtaken. When he got injured after clattering into the keeper I remember thinking he looked like he was running in porridge. It really does hold him back because he pulls off the odd trick but without the pace to get away he doesn’t take advantage of those situations.

Wow our attacking player has great defensive stats. He’s a winger/forward. That’s not what he is there for. The reason he has good defensive stats is because he’s recovering the ball he has lost. not good enough for a team challenging for Champions League. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly because he’s been in and out of the team and switched positions around. Although last year it was clear we needed to improve in both the wide areas, his lack of match practice is really highlighting his limitations more so. Understandably. I like having him and I like having him in the squad but for his cost and current squad status (ie quite high up in the pecking order for attacking positions) he needs to offer a whole lot more. I think he should only be played down the middle behind the striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphy Posted 17 February 2021 Share Posted 17 February 2021 It seems that we have invented a brand new position. Ladies & gentlemen, I give you the defensive winger. Forget about creating chances, scoring goals, assists, pass completion, pace, dribbles, key passes etc and forget about relentlessly giving the ball away. We will always have those 1.23 tackles! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Loyal Posted 21 February 2021 Share Posted 21 February 2021 Never thought I'd say this but we need him back ASAP, cruicial extra body in the attacking third of the pitch. I'd like to think he'll be involved at Arsenal, even if only as a sub. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His skill set may be more effective against tired opposition. Btw, he was crap again today, may as well have been at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted 21 February 2021 Share Posted 21 February 2021 On 17/02/2021 at 09:38, The whole world smiles said: Intresting I've been recently wondering what the manager sees in him and I still do but it does go to show that the coaching staff are looking at players through a different lens to the fans. It’s crazy isn’t it that a management team who sees him pretty much every day continues to persist giving him game time (although I’m sure he has a clause in his contract) instead of taking advice from a “fans”’forum on the internet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as he frustrates in general play we're in a situation where big moments could be crucial and he is capable of notching a goal here and there.

He (Tavares) believes he can play either, having seen him play, I would suspect the #8 role would be the better fit.

Ric Flair Posted 5 March 2021 Share Posted 5 March 2021 Right, it's time Ayoze Perez stepped up to the plate and delivered. For what we've paid for him he has been an absolute disgrace. By my reckoning he's scored 1 goal that has secured us actual points and it's long overdue that he gets his act together here. We are on our arse right now, we need a spark from somewhere and I'm looking at Perez to bring it. He went on a ridiculous run of goals in his last season at Newcastle in the final part of the season and he's also scored twice vs Sheff Utd and once vs Brighton so declare yourself fit Ayoze and save our season! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
