Always been too lightweight for me, easily pushed off the ball and hasn't really got a pass in him let alone a killer pass. Agree this was by far his worst performance since coming back, but he wasn't alone today
Keep hoping he comes good. But flatters to deceive more often than not. The fact that Orta thought he was a £25M player should have been an amber warning light to the club. Started well in August in fairness but has tailed off. Something quite familiar about those words. #lufc
Yeah he was poor but he only needs one chance so I wasn't too pissed off he wasn't replaced earlier . But James , Aaronson and even Tanaka were well off it today and if the rest of the teams not on it you can't afford luxuries like Piroe . Also Bamford . Surprised he is making the bench
Please explain Piroe’s role?! Or the idea? He’s hardly making chances by roaming like Simon of the Desert edge box. Then any ball in box never has anyone on end of it? Somehow. And when did he last win a header from a set piece or make a tackle? Otherwise 10/10. :-)
Hans Christian Aaronson (sorry 🤦🏻♂️😂) or brothers Grimm.
But no, not a 10 in the orthodox, more the paradox. Technically he can offer a fair bit and as I say, I keep hoping he comes good. But alas....And yeah, I fear a circa £4M recoup if this continues.
I almost feel like we’re only starting him to get him ‘in the shop window’ but people don’t go into charity shops because of the window displays. They go because they’re expecting cheap tat
Although I do honestly remember a time after he first arrived when I thought he looked a player….but it probably coincided with that brief period early that season (the Chelsea win etc) when it seemed like everything was going to be OK, so a few wrong opinions were had around then. 😂
You can always have an opinion and then when new and more evidence presents itself, you are then allowed to change your opinion, and I think that’s what has happened with him

We all know it
We’re all trying to buy into this collective delusion that him at 10 is all about his ‘hustle’ and ‘energy’ and the truth is it isn’t.
If we get £5m we’ll have well taken the piss
Play him there and get Solomon or Ramrazani in (when he’s match fit).
He was really trying to make it happen today.
Maybe Largie could do it. I don’t think we’ve got enough ‘data’ on that, truth be told. And yeah, it’s about fitness.
Can we talk about Joel?
Ponderous today, I thought
He needs service into and in the box and that is where he comes alive.
