"Ball knowledge"

[brownblade]

McAtee's showings so far are unbelievably poor. I'd terminate loan in Jan and use the available loan space on someone else.

Balls are being passed to his feet and he's miscontrolling the ball or letting it go past him.

Maybe it's nerves but if you can't control a ball that's being played to your feet then you're just not good enough.

He might go on and do some amazing things with City in the future but maybe he just needs those world class players around him for him to excel.

He's not been great, but this is Daily Mail levels of drama.

I'm more worried about Ciaran Clark. At 33, we've only managed to get a couple of games out of him and it doesn't sound like he's too close to a return.
We're paying 1/3 of his £40k a week salary.
If we're looking at terminating loans then that's where I'd start.

I thought Mcatee was decent when he came on last night. Got on the ball and more importantly kept hold of the fucking thing when it became a hot potato. Want to see more of him this weekend.

I was impressed with his confidence, he was calm on the ball and did the odd dribble past their defenders.
QPR aren't a physical team and we were at home
Soit did make me wonder if McAtee should have started instead of Berge (who needed some rest).

The one time he 'let it go past him' yesterday it was because of a very poor pass. I also can't recall many mis-controlled passes either but it's worth remembering he was only on the pitch for 10 minutes yesterday, in a game when everyone else around him was extremely poor.

I thought the same. He put a couple of useful crosses in as well.

McAtee and Khadra were probably our only two decent players in that second half. Billy, Bash, Norwood and Berge the worst.
