n'zogbia's overall play and attitude

[hawkeye]

How the hell was he not taken off, he was awful, i dont mind a player having a bad game but he does not give a toss. Albrighton did more in 20 mins than Zog did for the whole match. His attitude stinks.

Looked to me as though he was trying to hard today. Ashley Young syndrome but with half the ability.

He certainly didn't look like 'he does not give a toss'.

Same here.

Shame, I thought he'd be brilliant for us.  I hope he does improve and show why we paid that sort of money, but if that doesn't happen soon, he can't continue to hold down a place in the starting XI.

I was watching him pretty closely and cant think of another reason why he was poor and lacking in desire.

[Dave]

Lacking in desire is something that is pretty difficult to tell. It's not like he was strolling around not putting any effort in. The few times he was involved it seemed to be shooting when he shouldn't have, tracking back and supporting Warnock and giving away free kicks. Not really the sign of someone who isn't bothered.

He was poor today, I don't think anyone would disagree with that. And there could be any number of reasons why he isn't playing very well beyond "he doesn't care".

Agreed again.

Such as "he isn't very good".

[timeoutbigbar]

What initially strikes me though is that when Ash wasn't on form for whatever reason, you could always tell he was there.  It never stopped him having an influence on the game or looking like he could still produce something.  As yet I'm unconvinced he's half the player Young is/was.

Possibly.

I'd say that he has shown enough at other clubs that suggests that he can dribble, shoot, pass and cross which suggests that the above isn't very likely.

But I'd still say it's a more likely possibility that "he doesn't give a toss"

[Greg N'Ash]

he's awesome once in every 10 games and like this most of the rest of time.. Thats why manu and liverpool went for Young and Downing and not the cheaper Nzogbia. Can only hope AM can up the ratio to 2 in 10 games

He knew he was leaving Wigan, so what does he do? Use pre-season to get himself as fit as possible for his new club or sit on the beach until a deal is done.

Is it any surprise he's been shit with that attitude?

spot on mate, you thought we might have learnt after the Ireland fiasco.

[The Left Side]

Is he not fit?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Can somebody please confirm he actually is a winger?
