Yeah I'd go along with that, rapidly falling out with our version of Emile Heskey.I'm in, can't put my finger on why but I've got a bit of a soft spot for the lad, I really want him to do well.
Ji is a talented footballer. He has a variety of skills that are required for his position. He never stops working to find space. He is comfortable and composed on the ball. He seems genuinely two-footed and can generate shot power in both feet. He doesn't panic in front of goal as evidenced v Man City from a 'cold start' off the bench. He is good in the air and this will be more evident as he gets game time and grows in confidence. Some of his one touch lay offs are superb and he has great vision when passing the ball; the one touch through ball played between Wickham and Jozy on Saturday was class but made to look crap by those two who just stood there asleep. Although few can say for sure, he seems to be an earnest, hardworking lad too and obviously mentality is so important for young players.
Weaknesses like holding on to the ball too long can be altered relatively easily with game time and coaching. I'm not convinced his perceived lack of strength is a major issue either. He needs to adjust to the English game, develop better balance and start shielding the ball more effectively rather than turning into his man. There are plenty of examples of slender, small players doing very well in the Premier League.
Comments like 'Ji is shit' are not constructive for anyone (cue numerous hilarious responses stating said comment). It doesn't even make interesting reading and surely that's why many visit this board? Fair play to those who criticise Ji and explain their reasoning.
He's a young lad who has had very little game time. He's come from a completely different footballing culture and country. For the critics of Ji - imagine if you at 20 year old were dumped in a very different country on your own where you struggled to even talk to people and expected to start performing immediately in the strongest league in the world? FFS give him time, lets see how he develops; we've persevered with much worse players than him in the past!
There is a player there, not great, not woeful. Been doing ok filling in for sess these two games imo.
Only because Sess has gone on strike metaphorically....
Nevertheless it has been good to have a player in the squad to turn to.
Anyone been reported yet?
I like him, has more to his game than Whickam, shame he"ll be away for nowt at the end of the season.
