| Cirkin on 08:21 - Nov 4 by nix |
I thought he looked good yesterday. He sometimes puts some decent balls in that no one gets on the end of which isn’t really his fault. He looked solid in defence and decent up front. Vale and Saito aren’t offering enough for us at the moment but that’s not our FB’s fault. They were given the ball enough times in decent positions but didn’t do enough with it.
Bit perplexed he’s the one being highlighted. |
Don’t think he was being singled out on last night’s performance, Nix. My understanding from the OP was looking for a general overview of how his season has gone so far.
For me - like most I suspect - it’s too hard to judge as he has had a real stop start season thus far, as have many of our players tbf. Having read the Sunderland fan’s view when we signed him I thought we had got an absolute steal but must admit to being quite underwhelmed so far. Didn’t see the first half last night where we apparently played much better than the second (could hardly have played worse) when he seems to have done well. Second half I felt, as others have said, he tucked in too much and left the RW with a lot of space, but that may have been per instructions .
Just based on the way he beasted Bowen,my preference would be (a fully fit) Kemper at LB. But that is not to say Cirkin should not be in the team. Adamson looks like a man that could do with a breather (which he likely won’t get in the International Break from a travel perspective anyway) so maybe Cirkin/Kemper cold play RB? Additionally, we are a much better team with Ronnie in CDM and if JCS has decided to do his annual disappearing act (anyone know what actually happened to him?) then maybe Cirkin could operate as a LCB. Overall, I’m glad we have him, but don’t think we have seen anything like the best of him yet. |  |
