It wasn’t one game. He had the most assists for us, he also plays many pass to assist. He works his bollocks of every game and is a victim of a slight imbalance and lack of support on that side. He can definitely be upgraded but this viewpoint I only ever see online and it’s almost verbatim every time. We should thank our stars his ball retention is so good, as we don’t set up to support him inside, like we did with Amad. If we had a RM who lost the ball quickly, we’d be counter attacked like crazy and likely wouldn’t have been near the playoffs. He’s always an easy target, cos nobody else is consistently in the team enough with his ability to compare him to. We’d have been a far weaker side for the last few years without Paddy, that’s a fact.
May be in the middle he doesn’t have to try too many killer balls, he’s already in the danger zone. All opinions marra, I think he’s class back up and will mature in the middle more than he could out wide. If our young up and coming players can learn from the new quality coming in so can Robert’s. Remember his assists and chances made are good but go under the radar cos his actual shooting isn’t even at my level.
One game? Top assists all season mate. Not one game. And often not evolved non goal build ups too. Frustrating with his shooting (pretty crap really) but his quality is there and obvious if you watch instead of blinkering yourself
Fair point, quality is there. Just very frustrating when he tries one too many tricks. Just saying that he carnt afford to do that in the top league. However , I'd rather keep him them sell him. Id probably put him in the centre of midfield now that pace is wavering.
