The Fish 8989 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Can't help but think Bigirimana is another one whose development has been stifled. Definitely, he looked impressive at first glance, but more importantly he came with a reputation for being an old head on young shoulders, so it's not even like his attitude off the pitch has stymied his progress, surely? Similar to Vuckic, but perhaps his issue is the injuries he's been plagued with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Can't help but think Bigirimana is another one whose development has been stifled. Have to agree with that he showed loads of potential when he first arrived. Pocket rocket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Vuckic is no surprise, since his injuries he's just never looked up to the job when he's been given a chance. He has a good left foot but he always looks like he wants too long on the ball. Bigi is just baffling. He played a good few games his first season and showed some genuine potential especially when you consider he was playing in a team that was struggling. I can only assume that there has been something gone on behind the scenes to drop him so far back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Had another good game after a slow start. Think he has more potential and he can develop his game even more this season. I like his awareness, gets his head up and has a decent touch. Seems like a nice lad, very pleased for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausman 0 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 With the form he is in at the moment Anita, won't get a look in and I think Tiote should sit it out for while and fight for his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobos 297 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't put tiote back in, Pardews stumbled on a winning team and any changes would be daft. Looks like santon, tiote, gouffran, cisse and willo can warm the bench, which is a good position to be in imo. I can't believe I'm saying this but Dummett deserves a run in the team, some good play in the last few games. Surprised more people aren't putting the spotlight on Sammy, I think he's looking hard to handle and has some nice tricks up his sleeve.

The Fish 8989 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Yeah, Abeid's looked tidy, clever and committed in the centre. I'd keep him in, at least until Tiote is fully match fit. Good options in the centre with Abeid, Colback, Sissoko, Anita and Tiote all vying for 2 or 3 positions. Disagree with you about Sammy though. He gave the ball away cheaply quite a lot today, He unnerves the full back, but there isn't enough end product regardless of whether he has time on the ball or not. With Cabella, I'm convinced there' quality there if he can just adjust to the pace of the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausman 0 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I would love to see Dummett, play more as a centre half than a left back, it seems a more natural position for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobos 297 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Heh, I swear we're destined to have opposing views on some stuff. I thought Sammy did alright today I really did, it's his drive and enthusiasm, I reckon it gees on other players. After months of a team of water carriers we have someone who will run at the defence and look for interplay, but yes today he wasnt quite as strong. Totally agree with Cabella though, I remember hating Cabaye after his falling over, throwing his gloves off etc, but he soon hardened up, from the videos on the web Cabella seems to need players looking for quick passes and interplay again, shame him and Sammy have been on opposite flanks. Oh, happy to see sissoko get the armband when colo went off too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2411 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Another solid game from Abeid. Defensively he's making the absence of Tiote pretty well unnoticeable. He's got a shitload more about him going forward too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinRobin 9201 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Another solid game from Abeid. Defensively he's making the absence of Tiote pretty well unnoticeable. He's got a shitload more about him going forward too. He seems to forget about getting unnecessary yellow cards, though. He will never truly replace Tiote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoslingBeast 0 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I think we've got our Tiote replacement tied up nicely here, wouldn't really mind seeing him as first choice, in fact I would be angered if not. I know we haven't seen Abeid much but he's given a solid first impression, I just feel I can trust him in that role, and I never felt that kind of trust with Tiote.

David Kelly 1117 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Tiote's fitness is still questionable apparently. Fucking typical that we look like we could be without a shitload of players when up against a team we really need to beat ahead of a nightmare December.
