n'zogbia's overall play and attitude

[PeterWithesShin]

I've seen him in two games this season (BBurn and Wolves) and thought he looked good in both.  Nothing amazing but tidy and skillful. 

We need to get behind the players, especially those who have only worn the shirt 4 times for us.

Fair enough, but the only thing that would concern me is when he looked a bit pee'd of when leaving the pitch did he think his standard was good enough and why are you taking me of boss, or, was it, I could have done a lot better against this crap, I'm better than this, this is the question surely and something that the back room boys need to sort.

How concerned would you be if he looked delighted to be subbed?

New signing in taking a few games to settle in shocker.

Young, Downing and Milner all took a fair number of games to settle in.

True but they didnt sulk when they got substituted...........not that Ashley got subbed often

[Fingers]

Didn't he piss off to Dubai when he was in the midst of his transfer speculation? He's still settling and he's not had much of a pre-season.

Think he was allowed to go on holiday by Wigan as he'd played over the summer for France

Lazy, sullen and overpaid is the job description for many PL footballers.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I'm not sayin he's shit or not good enough or not gettin behind him. I'm just sayin thus far he hasn't shown much. I mean he got subbed we clapped him and he didn't even acknowledge us its not hard is it? It's not just today either

I dont think he did mate 

[Toronto Villa]

He'll be just fine. He proved it playing for a much smaller team last season that he'll come good. Give the bloke a chance.

Also, why am I so looking forward to seeing Jenas play?

Im sorry I doubted you mate, cheers for the link, could have been a U21 tourno I suppose as the BBC profile for him shows 2 full caps and 2 U21 caps

[Chipsticks]

I think he was playing well at Wigan as to advertise himself to bigger clubs.

Now he's (arguably) at one, he has nothing to prove.

[darren woolley]

He will come good I'm sure of it.

[Clampy]

I was expecting a bit more than what i've seen so far. It's not as if he's come from another country and needs to settle in. Maybe a game or two on the bench for Albrighton might do him and us some good.

Masochistic tendencies?

[timeoutbigbar]

The old man made an interesting point during the game today.  Reckoned that people seeing how Young is getting on at the mancs, and how good a player Downing was for us last season, that we're coming to realise the quality of players that we've lost, and expecting N'zogbia to be able to replace that quality is maybe a bit much.  He's definately got talent, but I'm not sure he's as good as either of them if i'm honest.
