Srg Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 4 minutes ago, SaintRam said: His passing % last season was under 74%, which isn't great. Puts him 20th in their squad last season (although you can exclude the 2-3 players that barely played). Although it was a little improved at 77% for Forest, which is more the norm. So I'd guess he's capable of pulling off highlight reel passes, which stick in fan's memories, but is liable to misplace passes more often than most. Maybe he's overly ambitious. Not convinced it's bad enough to be listed as a "weakness" however. Put a bit more context round it... only averaged 15.8 passes a game for Sheff Utd last season (started only 8 games with a further 8 subs). Probably when he had to try make things happen, which can lead to more misplaced passes. Compared this to a slightly smaller sample with him playing 2 games at the U21 Euros this summer with England and he averaged 65 passes a game at 94.6% - whilst also averaging 1.5 key passes (which is 1.2 better than at Sheff Utd). Says to me style of play and situation has played a huge role in stunting the stats for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Nice to have a left footer in the squad. Can see him in the centre of a 3 in a 4231, but we won't play that every (or maybe even a majority of) games, and if we try to play him left mid or left wing we could be back to square pegs again. Shame PC didn't have chance to try Lawrence in the no.10 role before making the call, but I guess other teams forced our hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume his sub appearances were very late on in games then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he only played 90 mins 3 times for Sheff Utd, and one of those was against Barnet in the cup. 7 times he played 30mins or less, with 4 of those less than 6mins.

ram1964 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Know nothing about the lad other than his England u21 development. Sounds like he has promise and hopefully will continue to improve and develop under Cocu leadership. Young hungry ambitious quality players willing to learn is the way forward ☺Coyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
