[Football] Knockaert’s passing

[Hornblower]

Troubles me, he holds on to the ball too long and his passing today was shocking.

Shocking does not even begin to describe it, seems to have lost the confidence to go past players and whip the ball in.

Probably to a large part cancelled out by Stephens much-improved passing today.

Well he has to do a lot more defending/running back now. He is not Kanchelskis/Overmaars who can skin players at this level

I thought the team played well today.

I naively thought NSC wouldn't be systematically turning on each player.
Oh well, better luck next week.

Knockeart is not a Premier League footballer (unfortunately)

One of our better players, if he’s not good enough.........

His passing is loose. But a great effort by him & the team today - deserved 3 pts

This.

 

[The Oldman]

Thought he had a better game today but he is up against premier league players and is finding it more difficult than last season

 

[Gazz15]

He's been rumbled at this level.

Big fish in small pond syndrome.

Knockaert’s passing

I know he was pretty poor again, but a bit harsh......

 

[Rugrat]

Some deficiencies for sure but he gave it a bloody good go, was one of our better players and the only one prepared to take a run at them. Given our central midfielders hardly got out of our half he did a bloody good job imo

Thanks to Burnley not closing us down quickly. Had it easy today imo

Brown is a waste of a shirt, I don’t think Knockaert is.

He is .. he has played a number of games in the PL so by definition is a PL player. More seriously there were a few worse players than him today. He does some stupid petulant things but overall his workrate has been excellent.

Is 100% correct, alas.

I think Stephens was given a lot of space today as they never pressed us and just dropped back into shape. His passing is never quite as assured when he has someone bearing down on him

 

[Hornblower]

Wow, in true NSC style this thread is unravelling. The point I was trying to make was not that AK is a waste of space. In fact, I think he remains one of the most, if not the most exciting and inspirational players in our squad.

However, when he goes on a mazey run and the defenders track back in front of him all that happens is that the final third gets compressed which means that the final pass has be pinpoint - and that’s just not happening enough - in order to give the recipient any chance etc......

If, he were to release the ball a little earlier or beat the defender then we might see a better return.

That’s great banter, it really is
