Eom

[Swanjaxs]

Eom is now showing he is contributing to the team. Cullen is one who is not.

Disappointing today, as was Cooper when he came on, looks overweight and slow of thought, almost feel dirty moaning about individuals after that result today mind

Yeah but I get why you are pointing individuals out. Cooper for me showed signs in past and was doing alright before his injury, but is not having any impact on the team. I feel he is one we might need to move on. Cullen is like marmite. But he is a good squad player for me not a starter. I think VP, Allen and basically same lineup we had against Plymouth will be served up on Friday against Hull.

Hull will be a difficult game, if we're not up for it we'll be beaten with a bit to spare, fortunately we are a different animal at the moment

Remarkable how much attacking players can kick on when they're allowed to, y'know, attack instead of made to turn around and pass backwards if there's the slightest chance of losing the ball.

The difference in his confidence and belief after that first goal for us (against Boro I think it was) has been remarkable, the sitters he had missed previously had clearly gotten to him and he was snatching at opportunities that he really didn't need to.

To cap off his season with that goal he scored today will do him a world of good, if he is given freedom to attack and create like this next season then he could pick up 10+ goals and 10+ assists which is a very successful season for a winger

 

[Dr. Winston]

Still think he's potentially a better #10 than a winger.

Maybe next season a midfield of Franco sitting deep, Widell as the charging centre and Eom at AM will pay dividends?

A few people think that, but there's been no sign of the manager or his predecessor giving him an opportunity in that 10 role.

Eom could play centre midfield if he could put a stone on.

Bang on the mark with that comment.

Frustrated with how Luke want Tymon in EOM's back pocket and Key in Ronalds all 4 hugging the touchline. Inevitably forcing back passes. Now he has more space cos Tynons not 3 steps away and the freedom to come in off the touchline. He's going to get better and better

We see it time and time again around here. Players are blamed for the tactical choices of their managers.

Eom is is also excellent in the air...wins a lot of headers against bigger opposition

A very impressive 97th percentile for headers won compared to other wingers. Ronald is also 94th percentile. Explains why Williams and Sheehan have persisted with long balls to the wings. However both win less than 50 per cent of their duels, so that's possession lost most of the time.

The days of Nathan Dyer's 4 1/2 foot frame on the wing are long gone

I was one writing him off for most part of this season. But with the shackles off, he's really showing us what he can do. I think Ronald has also kicked on since LW left.

You could see flashes of Eom's potential at the start of the season, he was good at driving runs and was surprisingly difficult to knock off the ball for his size. Then that got coached out of him by Williams and with a few sitters missed his confidence at everything he was good at took a nose dive.
