Naismith? Thoughts?

[Azzurri]

A lot of people calling him average in this thread.


I'd say that was overrating him, honestly.

Whilst he has been underwhelming to say the least I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt as he was bought as a striker and hasn't played there.

Also, he was free! Its not really his fault that he is the only option on the right when Mirrallas is injured

Jesus.

He's not a striker. He's arguably an attacking midfielder but as we saw in the Norwich game, he had a chance to link up Jelavic and put a six yard pass ten yards past him.

He's not very good. He'd be great in the Championship mind, but we aren't Burnley.

Whenever I watch Kneesmith it genuinely boggles me how he made it as a professional footballer at one of the best teams in the world's top league and some of the lids from the academy teams I played with aren't even semi pro.

this really, he'd be great at a certain level, hopefully one of the top championship teams will buy him in the summer and he will prob score a load of goals ala nugent

And here's the SPL coming on for a late appearance... and it's not looking good for the SPL, that's really, really poor.

Lolz, was this the one where all he had to do was square it across goal on the deck and skied it out of play or a different one?

That's the one. He sort of stumbled, mis placed the pass by about 10 yards and it flew out for a goal kick on the far side IIRC

Hahaha yeah I remember that. The Gwladys Street was not happy.

Finally played in his natural position and in those 20minutes or so looked alot more comfortable and able. More of this please.

What did he do? I must have missed the impact. Please explain.

 

[slimspek]

He's great at winning headers but that seems to be the only thing he is good at.

Oh you...the ball barely came near him, he actually had a nice layoff to the left early on but he didn't see much of the ball as United just passed it around and laughed at us.
