shirleysfc Posted 20 August, 2012 Share Posted 20 August, 2012 Out of position for me. I think he's been added to the squad as the long term replacement for Lambert but is being used wide on the left until we have a proper winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 20 August, 2012 Share Posted 20 August, 2012 Out of position for me. I think he's been added to the squad as the long term replacement for Lambert but is being used wide on the left until we have a proper winger. Agree with this. The other settling in factors are also relevant but it makes it doubly difficult for him to do so while being played out on the left. Shouldn't judge too much from his performance in yesterday's game but it's quite telling that we started with Guly up front and Rodriguez left rather than the other way round. Makes you wonder what'll happen if we do sign Ramirez and Phillips as planned, £7M seems like an awful lot for a club like us to spend on someone who may sit on the bench.

Saint Charlie Posted 20 August, 2012 Share Posted 20 August, 2012 You could tell his touch was class. He is a striker who can play out wide - Im sure he would rather play there than be on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 20 August, 2012 Share Posted 20 August, 2012 They said on solent yesterday that J-rod played left wing as a youth player and that this might be a temporery measure until we get a proper winger in. I assumed we bought him to be a striker so it's hard to judge him playing out wide at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit worrying cause I don't think we can afford to lose that group, as we don't have equal replacements for them. Guess we'll find out in about an hour or so!

Name your source FFS. now now Turkish, he wasn't so far out - was he? Morgan played, but he was supposed to be out for some time, so maybe he wasn't 100% - but he played anyway. The rest seemed an OK call. ANYWAY.....this thread is supposed to be about Jay Rod...and he's on a learning curve....like everyone else in the squad who hasn't played in the Prem. before ...........

saint1977 Posted 7 October, 2012 Share Posted 7 October, 2012 I didn't think he was that bad overall but desperately short of confidence and needs one to go in off his shin or backside to get up and running. Didn't know Mayuka was still short of full fitness so explains the reluctance to play him but should be featuring at West Ham if fully fit. It's the money we paid for J Rod - I can see good potential there but we needed a 2nd CB or LB more urgently and we didn't need a world-beating one either, solid would have done.

lordswoodsaints Posted 7 October, 2012 Share Posted 7 October, 2012 Just not good enough at the moment and not sure we can afford the luxury of letting him gain enough experience to get him upto standard.....far too many championship standard players already in our squad I'm afraid.

Lambert had a fairly off day but he at least created chances and looked like he could hold it up and cause problems. He was the only player we had who looked like he could hold his own against haangeland, who was immense against JRod and gave him absolutely nothing.

I was crying out for a straight swap for mayuka. Totally agree. That Mayuka didn't come on for Puncheon was quite odd. That he didn't come on for JRod was a poor decision IMO; even Guly for JRod would have made more sense than hauling Lambert off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfc4prem Posted 7 October, 2012 Share Posted 7 October, 2012 He was pretty good today. One run and cut-back he did in the first half should've resulted in a Lambert goal but he somehow contrived to slot it past the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
