Re: Pablo Fornals
Some of our players are probably as bad as they have shown, Fornals isn't. I really don't know whats happened so far, but he is so much better than that. A run of games, a win, a confidence boost...The last time Fornals had a really good game he was dropped for the one after.
Re: Pablo Fornals
That is spot on - and is almost certainly true of Haller as well.il_martello_di_genovesi wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 10:47 am Some of our players are probably as bad as they have shown, Fornals isn't.

Despite all his experience Pelle seems to have lost the ability to get the best out of some players.
As if to emphasize that, Lucas Perez, who was very poorly used under Pelle, is on fire in La Liga, playing for bang average Alaves,
with some statistics showing him as the best minutes per goals striker in Primera

Re: Pablo Fornals
was standing by the tunnel entrance prior to kick off on saturday,fornals & ajeti walked out for a wonder,
on their return a few fans shouted at em for a wave/aknowledgment , but they just kept walking and ignored the fans,
total blank, one supporter shouted ' oi we are your fans'
both players looked so miserable and un interested , poor body language, surely just a wave or some indication to your fans that you appreciate thier support , kind of pissed me off in a way .

Just the little things like when Antonio scored he celebrated quite a lot. I also noticed Anderson celebrating on the bench

Re: Pablo Fornals
One of those players that need a season to adapt, I know we need him now but it ain't going to happen.

Re: Pablo Fornals
And he's been put into a tough spot New country, new league, new teammates, and he's being asked to cover for a lot of different roles in midfield, while also having no consistent role and playing time. It's hard enough for a young player to make a move and hit the ground running, even harder when he doesn't have any consistency.devonshirecream wrote: ↑Tue Nov 26, 2019 11:32 am One of those players that need a season to adapt, I know we need him now but it ain't going to happen.
Looking at some of the underlying analysis, he was pretty good the 2 matches he started as a CM (2 starts, 161 minutes). His 3 other appearances in the starting lineup all came at different positions (AMC, ML, MR) and he has 7 sub appearances almost all short.
I get that we have injuries, but he needs to know what is expected of him in terms of his role, and concentrate on that. Pelle has put him in a tough spot by asking him to be a bit of everything

Re: Pablo Fornals
There may be mitigating circumstances with his poor form but again, was there any other foreign import of ours who has looked as out of their depth on joining, then come good?
I can’t think of one.
Buying the best from the Championship plus experienced Prem players as Palace have done in Cahill, Townsend, Kouyate and Tomkins would represent far less of a gamble imo.

Re: Pablo Fornals
would have rather seen him in CM and Anderson LM
not quite sure why Anderson was shaking his head when he came off - I like players who don't want to be subbed but to be honest he was peripheral most of the game.....

Re: Pablo Fornals
Has he got it written in his contract that he has to come off in the 70th? Anderson, that is. I didn’t like bringing in Yarmolenko for Felipe to protect a lead. Yarmo can’t run. He just can’t. We were under pressure as soon as he came on.Cuenca 'ammer wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2019 7:05 pm would have rather seen him in CM and Anderson LM

Anyhow, I thought Fornals was useful today. Let’s have more of that.

At the end of the day I think he was good today. Pretty good with the ball, he's not the fastest player but he runs and doing his best.

Re: Pablo Fornals
Think the idea was that we were likely to be pinned back more as the match came towards a close and have more balls played in the air. Yarmo is a more physical presence and better in a more defensive positioning than Felipe, while Felipe can run. Yarmo had a couple clearances late in the box that were keyWCpete wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2019 7:18 pm Has he got it written in his contract that he has to come off in the 70th? Anderson, that is.
