Payero tonight

[Humpty]

I think a few people are getting carried away. Payero’s performance last night was an improvement but it was wasn’t top class. He had some lovely spells, nice touches but he has the talent to do so much more.

Exactly right. He was decent but nothing more than that. I don't really understand the Energiser bunny comment either. I actually thought the opposite i.e. that he looked quite leggy at times and didn't make runs when he really ought to have done - both offensively and defensively. It was much better but not the huge stride forward that it seems to be being portrayed as.

I think Tavernier is trying to hard to get himself out of a rut of bad form. He knows he is better than he has shown recently. It's not all his fault though, he's played in about 5 different positions in the last ten games, and none of them his favoured number 8

Tav's versatility counting against him? Mind you with McNair, Howson and Crooks we have several players who can play in different positions. Total football Warnock style!

The more he's involved the more we will control games.

PAyero has got the best passing success at the club 84% he just needs to start to get involved a little more, it'll come as he learns to read the english game better

He does, he can clearly play and looks a real find, but he's still not quite worked out the cut and thrust of the Championship

The second half on saturday and most of last night Payero looked the exciting player with touch and vision that I hope we had signed.
He makes me excited that we can really push on.
Watmore, Payero, Sporar and Crooks are all reasons to be very cheerful.
A win at Cardiff and a corner may well have been turned.

Watmore, Sporar and Payero look to be playing for each other in a professional manner towards the best option for a goal. Tavernier however looks to be all about himself, appalling efforts at goal and his technique was terrible. It’s coming together with the quality in the squad. Management however need to further Implement the team dynamic.

TavernIer was correct to shoot on all those occasions apart from the one where the keeper saved at the near post. I can also understand why he ended up shooting on that occasion as the forwards were really static Don't get me wrong he didn't have a great game but he still worked off the ball for the team. I'm not sure how you can praise Watmore and comment on Tav's technique when Watmore missed a sitter from a few yards

Payero is looking good, I just wish Tav would look up more and stop being so selfish when he's cutting in.

He is trying to model himself on Salah (Tav that is). I say trying, because as much as I like him, he might need to reassess the player he models himself on. I always thought I was the next Souness, however reality is kicking in as I approach 60!

It was much better but not the huge stride forward that it seems to be being portrayed as.

Bunny comment was about Watmore, it definitely doesn't apply to Payero at the moment.
It was a huge stride forward in that instead of looking miles off the pace he's now showing he's capable of playing at this level. It's another thing completely to have him excel at this level, that is yet to be seen.

 

[Humpty]

I don't think there's anything wrong with Tav's technique, it's clearly his mindset and decision making that's the issue. He's playing for himself in and around the final third on the ball and i think that's quite obvious.

 

[BoroGold]

Thought he was going to slot it past the keeper himself but if course the ball was to square it to Watmore...bet he wished he hadn't

I bet Watmore wishes he hadn't more than him.

Anyone know the words to his song?

There was a 10 minute spell 75-85 mins when he looked like he was blowing out of his ars.e. He hid a bit, then regrouped for the last few minutes. Thought he would be subbed, but Warnock must have more faith in him than Silky.
BUT. Improving. Played well in bursts, looks to be an intelligent player struggling a bit with other players around him (our passing / movement / keeping possession is atrocious). Good 7/10 for me tonight

Watching Payero last night, the only thing that concerns me he just doesnt look happy, maybe its me looking at it that way, or he's going to give that impression whoever he plays for, a new country, culture, its a big change for a young lad here on his own, he couldnt be any further from his family, his body language, just the way he stands, shoulders drooped.
He doesn't play that way mind

He was waving frantically up at the west stand on sat before kick off and I read his partner had joined him so I think he’s starting to settle now.

The energiser bunny was a reference to watmore not Payero

Still difficult to reconcile a 5m fee for an unknown who was clearly nowhere near ready to play in the Championship. 1 or 2 million ok but 5 million ?? I think most expected a bit more straight from the off. except Adi_Dem of course who knows more about football than most other things.

It’s all relative, most transfers are a gamble.. I’m guessing this one is pretty low risk due to the lads age and his athleticism.

£7m for George Saville at 25yo
or
£5m for Martin Payero at 22yo

I think he’ll find his feet and be a canny player for us.
