Millenniumram Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I’m still undecided between LW and CAM. On the one hand, he’s pretty predictable cutting inside from wide areas, which leads to a lot of moves breaking down. But he does always make himself available for a pass, and we might miss that option if we played certain other players instead. But on the other hand, we might get more goal threat from him played through the middle, and we all know how much we need that right now. The question is, does he have the skill to get through the tight spaces he’ll be faced with in the middle of the park? I’m not so sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he wasnt shocking, thought he added more to his game last season. This season he has reverted to his old self. Head down running into blind alleys. Work rate has dropped as well in my opinion. He is clearly a confidence player so its no surprise. The fact youve had to mention last season when we are 15 games into the current season should give you an indication of how he is playing right now.

He has shown in the past that dribbling and quick feet is one of his strengths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight, Holmes, Sibley and Buchanan and Forsyth all have worse drivble success rates. I don't see any of them getting the abuse Lawrence is ? The difference being the regularity of attempting to take his man on, something we should be praising - more successful dribbles than anyone else in our squad.

RadioactiveWaste Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Attacking midfeld, more central. Although his "hit rate" of good performances at 10 seems similar to his overall good game frequency, in terms of I don't particually think changing where he plays in the team is going to unlock the real Tom Lawrence. We've just not had better letf winger/left forwards to play on the most part. I hope Ibe breaks into the team soon personally. Or bench - give him 15 minutes against tired defenders.

Another nothingness stat without context. Success for forward players are goals and assists. I wouldn't want to be comparing 2 full backs and Knight with a forward player. Holmes has been poor this season, Sibley also but think that is he trying too hard and trying to do too much when he finally gets a limited opportunity.

i-Ram Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Sorry, but I have now had enough of Tom, and Holmes too. Both from a consistency point of view are a waste of a shirt 8 games out of 10 and that is being generous. I do hope that Ibe gets his head (and guts) sorted soon, as I would like to see him and Waghorn supporting Kazim. Yes moves will breakdown just as much with those two, but both will be much more of a goal threat on the left and right. As a left winger I reckon even at 59 I could stop Lawrence being a threat. He doesn’t have a left foot. Just keep showing him down the line. Try and get some decent money for him in January I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Martin Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Just imagine how good this could be with a decent manager in charge. Anyone from Bird,Knight,Shinnie, in the no.6 and i think that could cause most defences in this league some problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
