canarydan23 4,761 Posted January 15, 2022 Idah, Lees-Melou, Sorenson, Sargent. All lambasted this season but stepped up today. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sjb 13 Posted January 15, 2022 He was immense today. Linked well with Pukki. Sargent looked better on the wing too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 1,211 Posted January 15, 2022 Offers the hold-up play we've been missing, and frees Pukki up from the pressure of having to do everything himself. Really, really promising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertociNCFC 107 Posted January 15, 2022 Been brilliant in the last two games, like a whole different player. I will hold my hands up and admit that I was never his biggest fan but he is really proving me wrong as things stand. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 7,377 Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Sargent and Idah up there gives us a lot more options as you've two big ****s who like charging around, and it gives the midfield and full backs more confidence as they realise there's more chance of the ball sticking up there. So whilst I'll agree with the sentiments that Idah's beginning to click into gear, I'd say the presence of Sargent on a wing will probably help the process.

Mason 47 1,924 Posted January 15, 2022 Up til West Ham thought he was another nearly man. Who knows, still may be, but its almost like he's suddenly worked out how to play at this level. Everton still concentrated most of their defensive efforts on Pukki, and it's hard not to wonder what might happen now teams potentially have a second threat to deal with. Either way, great shift young Idah 🙌 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrD66M 149 Posted January 15, 2022 No players hiding from the game! PLM has gone missing plenty of games before- not today. He got stuck in, was disciplined, lost balls and missed passes, but kept on it, and played the ball forward. As did everyone in the squad today. Brave. Many previous games the players' belief was sub-zero. No wonder often they did not feel up to it, and frequently felt beaten even before the first whistle. Not today. What do you do when you don't feel up to something that you know you MUST do? You do your best. That's all you can do! When City has been heckled by us, it's because they don't try. But we have to give them credit for the effort and bravery. Williams was super, Idah deserved to enjoy this moment. Aaron's put his best display for a long time - we had a threat going forward. Today, to a man and as a team, they tried. Well done. NEVER MIND THE DANGER! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 777 Posted January 15, 2022 Yeah the "Idah should be melted down and turned into glue" threads were pretty stupid, the guy's only 20 for god sake and trying to play in the toughest league in the world. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Raumdeuter III 77 Posted January 15, 2022 Adam Idah played like a man today rather than a youngster. Maturity, movement, strength, and he helped us move up the pitch. Bravo, young sir! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crab man 178 Posted January 15, 2022 Fair play to Idah, he's looked like a new player these last 2 games. Perhaps all that criticism he received has had a reaction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tin hat ready... 10 more straight line runs and toe pokes that end the same way and I'm not sure any of us will care! I'd also say his first touch is pretty good. It gives him that sliver of space, maybe a little bit of panic after that, but it was enough. If he takes the ball closer to his body I think Pickford has the advantage, if he opens his body the defender walks away with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But PLM hit a cracking volley that was dead straight and Pickford caught it. A mi**** may have scored. And midweek Idah hit a screamer and Fabianski saved it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everton were pretty poor defensively there. Williams wins the ball and suddenly it's a 3 on 2, Keane gets sucked across tracking Pukki, and the left back and the rest of the team are hardly sprinting back.

The straight run was the one to make. Touch was a shade dicky, but it went the right way, and it did open up both directions for his poke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
