The thing I liked about him was he was constantly talking to colleagues. Hopefully his experience will be valuable.
He did pass the ball backwards a lot but I guess that’s the modern game of trying to keep possession so fair enough.

A leader and a motivator, something we have missed at times, can tell he has come from a good side even if he wasnt one of there best players, so good have Barca and City as feeder clubs
 
"I feel like when we go ahead, we almost take our foot off the gas a little bit," the midfielder admitted.

"When you go a goal behind it's almost as if the pressure drops off you and you feel like you can play more. So I think once we go ahead we need to be even more switched on because the other team is definitely going to push for a goal, and that's when we need leaders.
The first line is absolutely bang on and to already notice it while barely being at the club speaks volumes.
 
Hi mate.

I'm going to say it. I really do think we need to replace Seamus in the starting eleven.
He has been FANTASTIC for us, but not half the player he was before the injury.
Replacing him will not happen this season and so we will plod on with what we have.

I would promote Delph to the captains role. Next season.
When we have moved the squad quality on another notch.

I fully expect Sidibe to have made the position his own well before the season is over. Probably by Christmas.
 
I thought he broke play up really well on Sunday, as did Gomes somewhat surprisingly. I'd still be a little worried about those two as a defensive unit against better opposition.

Maybe when Gbamin is fit again we will see them all in a 3? That could work quite well, I think.
 
I don't remember it to be honest

Not saying it didn't happen like, but I honestly have zero recollection of it ever happening
Someone posted an article about it in the summer iirc, I'm positive he said it when he was at Leeds or Villa though so I wouldn't even care about a comment like that.
 
He's lively, which is good to see. Didn't see him as a player with an 'engine' but it certainly looked like it on Sunday. He keeps that up he'll be important for us.
