Actually being short of match fitness and adapting to a new league is likely to impact on a player's sharpness and technique. Pretty sure if you've ever gone a long time without playing football your touch will be a lot worse than it was when you last played, doesn't mean your fundamental technique is flawed.

Or you could just make your mind that he's crap. It's easier.
Or you could buy some different glasses.

Why would I need different glasses when I don't own a pair in the first place?

His twin brother just scored the second for Iceland in Turkey.

Maybe we should sign him.

Is there a possibility that we messed up identity there and got the wrong man?

Or perhaps the real Birkir Bjarnason is locked away in Le Château D'If wearing an iron mask.

I actually rate Bjarny. Although I seem to be the only one who is in the fan club. I anticipate just me and him being there at a very Alan Partridge style fan club Xmas party.

I reckon if he ever got a sustained run in this actual position he might do alright.

He's another one like Hogan who will play his part at some point this season. I think he's ok to be honest.

Imagine what he'll do to him if he ever escapes!

Probably chase him a lot but never catch him.

I think he’s wasted out on the wing or LB. for me he gets into great positions to score so better suited in an attackjng positions down in central midfield. He ain’t no Platt but I think played in this position he’d grab a few goals.

If he played centre mid I think his shocking first touch would be even more of a problem

Coming in from wide like a poor man's ljungberg is his best role for me

He's obviously capable of more than he's shown to date so let's hope he can contribute
