He's one of the only players getting shots on target.
Yet in the wright thread people saying he played well
He's one of the only players getting shots on target.He isn’t what we need right now
You said the same about Norton cuffey and he helped us to playoff finalHe isn’t what we need right now
At times you can see exactly why Palace signed him.
Yet you can also see exactly why he can’t get a game there.
I disagree.He isn’t what we need right now
Esse = technically brilliant / positionally clueless
Quotmyself from yesterday’s match thread. I first said this about 20 minutes in and repeated it several times throughout the 90.
No doubt he could win you a game but his lack of positional sense and general awareness could also cost you a game.
I know Sakamoto has repeated critics on here as his stats aren’t great. But he absolutely impacts a game more than Esse.
The occasional flick can’t outweigh the bad sides.
He’s an enigma. Could possibly try him at 10 so he has more freedom as ideally you want him on the pitch.
One of many things Lampard needs to get right.
He was a liability yesterday and I was amazed he wasn’t subbed off earlier than he was.Tatsu has more discipline. Esse is just doing silly things in dangerous positions.
I think mainly because Oxford were no threat.He was a liability yesterday and I was amazed he wasn’t subbed off earlier than he was.

Yeah…although watching him dribble out of defence and inevitably losing the ball…it was no thanks to him.I think mainly because Oxford were no threat.
Agree…to some extent. But I’m not sure what back heeling the ball out of play when it’s easier to pass it simply, adds to our performance.He was exactly what we needed yesterday but didn’t have a great game, you have to take risks against these boring everybody back teams risk free footballers like Dasilva and what MVE has become are just not needed, you can add Grimes to that pair as well.

Yeah, that was embarrassing and totally unneeded.Agree…to some extent. But I’m not sure what back heeling the ball out of play when it’s easier to pass it simply, adds to our performance.
I’m sure a few games ago you said Esse should be ahead of Sakamoto and that he’s at best a squad player now
Yeah…I agree he’s got loads of ability and looks like he can really unlock defences.He was probably watching rudonis highlights.
Difference is he created 2 good chances and probably had our best shot of the game.
He's a young player , learning his way .Yeah…I agree he’s got loads of ability and looks like he can really unlock defences.
Unfortunately too often yesterday it looked like it was ours he was trying to unlock.
Not sure about this take either.Yeah…I agree he’s got loads of ability and looks like he can really unlock defences.

Nothing he did really got anywhere near costing us yesterday.
We have mve and jds costing us goals most weeks but I guess mve does a fist bump every so often.
Yeah some of his stuff was unnecessary, he was nowhere near our worst player or the issue yesterday. Meanwhile you go over to other threads and players like wright had a good game because they looked "up for it".
No it was in general rather than specific.Esse is the least of our worries.
And if the 'looked up for it' comment refers to my posts, I never said he had a good game, I said he was awful.
No it was in general rather than specific.
Just watched the highlights back and I didn't realise how good the pass to torp was at the time.
Sorry no I didn't mean what you said specifically. In the ratings etc etc all how he had a good game.When I was referring to him being up for it I was just on about him putting himself about and getting involved in needle with the defenders which 2nd half I could see quite clearly from 13.
It's not always the case that he even gives you that but other than that I wasn't impressed.
I was thinking in particular when he tried to beat about 5 players just outside our box, following a corner. Oxford offered nothing but he won’t get away with against someone like boro I suspect…maybe he won’t try it against them.Not sure about this take either.

So if he does it against Boro then yeah it's more likely to get punished.I was thinking in particular when he tried to beat about 5 players just outside our box, following a corner.

We’ve seen a lot more of the likes of MVE and Dasilva so know what they can offer (ok MVE more than Dasilva). It’s only 3 or 4 games in for Esse…I wouldn’t be at all happy if he plays a quarter of his games for us like that.
Having said that the campaign for Brau and Esse on the left starts here!
Tats also fucked about and lost it a couple of times yesterday though?Clearly Rom is a very talented boy, but sometimes it feels he does tricks for tricks sake, and it's annoying.
Yesterday, Tats retained the ball fairly well and got the ball in, delivery was a bit suspect at times, yes, but at least we got the ball in, Esse just needlessly gives the ball away trying to be too elaborate.
Hopefully we start Tats and EMC against Middlesbrough, presuming EMC is fit, and then bring Esse on to cause havoc later in the game.

Ok. I can also definitely slate him for doing it against Oxford and the other times he lost the ball trying tricks. There.So if he does it against Boro then yeah it's more likely to get punished.
No point making up scenarios to slate him
Yet emc is a cult hero but doesn't track back.
