Look at Birmingham now I was talking to a blue nose mate apparently GR wouldn't sign his contract so what's why he was replaced .Common knowledge around Birmingham ,true or not I don't know.Not ended well for City either way.

Going down should be an involuntary action. I didn't see enough of a foul in there anywhere. Agreed The reason Will didn't score was because he just hasn't got the physicality to strike the ball hard - why I don't know Its the reason that he rarely scores. If he isn't in the six yard box to stroke or pass it home it probably isn't going to happen And probably one of the reasons why no premier club has come in for him after all this time. And why he is increasingly starting on the bench. He just can't kick the football with any power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Nice goal, but still a bit of an up and under, rather than a pure hit from the deck. This is a good video, watch it and tell me we'd be better off without him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issue with the quality of Will Just trying to understand why he scores so few goals. And why he is still here. Any thoughts from yourselves - I have made my theory , what about yourselves ?

Any thoughts from yourselves - I have made my theory , what about yourselves ? He is too unselfish. There are times he should shoot but sets someone else up. He is always looking for the next pass and sometimes forgets about taking the shot. Also he, at times, is too deep but when he is he is normally the one who passes to the player that makes the assist. On the video that i put up there are quite a few times where he has had a good shot but the keeper has pulled off a better save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good video, watch it and tell me we'd be better off without him! He's fantastic and arguably the best pure footballer we've ever had (yes better than Eranio) ... crying shame he's never had a great supporting cast. and when he plays we are at least getting value for money in terms of entertainment with his skill on display. If we got rid of every other player and kept just him and made him captain, we'd have a good foundation. Reality is that my vato homeboy, well, he good. goals will come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's on instance on the video where you think 'put the laces through it'. Instead he reverses it to an unmarked Martin running in behind, who slots it home. I don't understand how he even saw him, yet alone played the pass, but I don't want to lose those gasp moments, which only he can provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the things he does is just unbelievable, that oass to Vydra against Wolves, I think, is better thn the one for Bent's goal. Was juat trying to offer a view of why he doesn't score as many as we would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archied Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 It's very clear that he is a fantastic talent when he is in full flow , I find it hard to believe there's a football fan on the planet who could watch the above clips and not think ,, my god that lads got something special ,,, I really hope rowett is the manager to get him in the right role on the pitch ( has to be further forward where he can hurt opposition ) with the right players around him ,, tin hat on , 4/4/2 diamond with Hughes at the tip of the diamond in almost a free role , two strikers , one a target man strong in the air and one a pacey vydra type , two real pacey wingers who can beat a man and cross but work back in defence ( may mean selling ince) and a midfield beast / warrior ,, and a defence of beasts who in the main just defend , nothing too complicated there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 That goal for the England u21s is top drawer. Will's problem is that he's not getting near the goal enough. That's because he's the technical player that allows players like Bryson, Hendrick, Butterfield etc etc to get nearer. He should be getting in those sorts of positions, yes, but a combination of tactics and style have usually dictated that he won't. We miss him when he's not around, or in any form. There's no one better in the team at pinching the ball from an opponent player, or anticipating and intercepting a pass, and turning it into a chance for us to bear down on goal. Problem is, that our players don't think or move smartly enough to take advantage of that. Its alright saying he doesn't get enough assists or goals, and I'd agree, but its just not that simple.
