The new guy done ok. Picked up the booking that wouldn’t have helped him, and looked occasionally ponderous but he will adjust


I’m optimistic

Clubs don't lend players who are the finished article , you have to round them off ,sometimes they dont make it ,thing is they ain't playing so they come to get game time , we will have to wait and see :idea:

Take the hit now and pay the Liverpool fine,thought he was going to dominate and control for me offered nothing and no wonder he was let out on loan ,would have preferred a Paterson start

I wholeheartedly agree with the post that we never look convincing with 3 at the back and wingbacks.

need to go back to 433 and we can with harris coming back as we can rotate or rest the wide forwards.

Bryson, Danour and at some point gunnar with Ralls and Grujic, looks strong enough

I thought Grujic had a very mundane performance but, given his lack of game time, I'm sure he'll come good for us. The elephant in the room (if not on the pitch) is the absence of Gunnarsson. I'm sure people are increasingly convinced how vitally important he is and without him our midfield always looks much weaker. With Gunnarsson back I expect Grujic to develop his game with us.

On another note, Manga is starting to give me "squeaky bum time" whenever I see him play. Gunnarsson's return will allow us to have a solid back four with Morrison and Bamba in the middle and I expect that formation to be more effective.

We have ideal wingback in my opinion, Richards, Bennett, Patterson but not centre backs. In a back three I don't think you would want two towering centre backs like Morrison and Bamba. You want one and the other two who pick up the rest/loose balls and have a bit more agility to fill the gaps.

Should glimpses of class. When he turned on the ball you could see he had it.
But just give him time to gel with the side. He will be a great signing

Totally agree. I hope NW ditches the back three completely.
Once Gunnars is fit, it has to be 4-3-3.

He will only grow more into the games. The championship is nothing like the premier league..

I feel he showed up in a few good areas of the pitch both attacking and in front of the back four. But he’s a quality player, and after checking the Liverpool forums they’ve had nothing but great things to say.

Tough away game for his debut.. settle down and wait.

His class is obvious, way he passes the ball and his confidence on the ball better than anyone else in the squad and this team needs that, someone to control the game from midfield, physical and made some good challenges too which is good. His booking early on made him go in his shell a bit maybe and obviously didnt help, he will get better and better more games he plays.

He looked very composed on the ball and took a booking for the team, I am sure he will be a good signing for us. But boy do we need a goal scorer.

Re: Grujics performance

Patterson should have started instead of Richards.

Richards never tries to create anything. Backwards or into touch. Not suited to wing back

Re: Grujics performance

Sun Jan 21, 2018 9:29 am

Didn't do anything apart from his shot, looked lost

Re: Grujics performance

Ithinkyou have a VERY VALID point in saying that
