Matondo

I'm trying to be honest! I didn't see what Matondo did? flash in the pan is all I see with him! he can run fast, he can score the occasional great goal! but he is crap as a football player!.

This is true, he works his arse off every match, that can't be denied! and he does score goals.

For me, he linked up well with Jefte both defensively and offensively. He was always driving forward and created a few chances, including a great ball for Dessers goal.

For his price tag and wages he brings nothing to the team! I just don't think he is a very good player!.

Matondo is good at running past someone...but then making an arse of it.

 

We need to get him off the wage bill.

I'll be honest, I thought Matondo was poor as well.

 

He can run fast with and without the ball, that's it.

 

And that's all he did tonight really.

He has a bizarre reluctance to do it though - the amount of times you want him to leg someone for him to stop or cut inside is strange for someone that rapid.

 

The Man City education has caused that imo.

[Gonzo79 15,292]

Yeah, don't take a man on when there's an easy sideways pass instead.  Pep Guardiola football.

 

Groan.

Sadly it was still one of his best games for us and it was still miles away. What a dreadful signing. Damn you Ross Wilson.

Butland - nothing much to do but some nervous moments 

 

Tav - mostly terrible

Propper - OK then injured 

Souttar - hot and cold 

Jefte - excellent and MOTM

 

Sterling - struggled and didn't look fit

Diomande - same as Sterling

Dowell - poor 

 

Cerny - poor

Danilo  - poor but just coming back from injury

Matondo - decent

 

Barron - very good again

Dessers - as per Barron

McCausland - good finish for goal but wasteful prior to that

Fraser - tidy in what he done

Davies - didn't do much wrong 

 

Overall a decent result and into the next round but I'd only be confident of beating Spartans. Jeftes, Matondo, Dessers and Barron only players who deserve praise/pass marks.

 

Performance wasn't the best, our right side of Tav and Cerny didn't click at all and at one point Sterling was playing RB and Tav midfield and it still looked weak.

 

Danilo just coming back and good to see him get minutes. Missed a few chances but hopefully his sharpness returns.

 

Someone posted the other day that we are a Dessers injury away from being a mid-table team, it's hard to argue with that assertion at the moment.

 

We are still 5 regular starters short - CB, RB, CM, CF and #10 and have 2 weeks to rectify the situation.
