maysie Posted 20 September, 2012 Share Posted 20 September, 2012 Thought he was excellent in his interview with the national media today, seems to have really grown up. 'Jason, do you have a point to proove to anyone?' 'Yes. too myself'. Also said he hasn't fulfilled his talent, he was just a young lad from London, doing what young people from London do.

Huh - I've yet to see much evidence of him having any great talent. I think the Championship is about his level to be honest. Nice to hear him saying something sensible though.

Saint Charlie Posted 21 September, 2012 Share Posted 21 September, 2012 I thought it was a good interview. He started grinning when talking about how good Gaston was. Seems genuinely happy to be at Saints still and only had praise for Adkins and Cortese. Says having kids and a family to lead has made him grow up and says he has in no way fulfilled the potential he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanimal Posted 21 September, 2012 Share Posted 21 September, 2012 Still just a big time Charlie imo. I cannot get out of my head the image of him running into Loftus Road and then stealing the limelight when we got promoted. On top of that he was useless against Arsenal.

Mowgli Posted 21 September, 2012 Share Posted 21 September, 2012 Puncheon has been consistently one of the better performers this season. Still one or two aspects of his game that need working on (e.g defensive duties) but I do not see those as being so serious as others. He is a real threat going forward and his understanding with Clyne is what does it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 21 September, 2012 Share Posted 21 September, 2012 Punch IMO was by far our worst player on Saturday. Agreed, with the exception of the shot late on he contributed nothing and basically hung Clyne out to dry. He was far too late in reacting to everything going on around him. The previous week against Man U he was pretty impressive, one good run in particular stood out. He's a bit of an enigma, but without the stellar upside to make him worth the gamble a lot of the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 21 September, 2012 Share Posted 21 September, 2012 I think both our wide players last weekend were very poor. Along with Lambert. Puncheon just didn't really track back either which atleast Adam does try and get stuck in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Nelson Posted 21 September, 2012 Share Posted 21 September, 2012 I've said it before and I say it again: The problem is the lack of end product, whether tackle, cross, pass or shot. Sometimes he still looks good, sometimes bad, but I fail to see that this is the issue. If the crosses rain into the box and the passes go to a saints player I'll forgive him even if he looks bad. Whoops, nearly forgot. He has improved by not keeping on turning around to do the player he's just done a second time around. It was enough of that before this season.

The9 Posted 21 September, 2012 Share Posted 21 September, 2012 Funny, when Lallana hangs Fox out to dry it's Fox's fault. When Fox is in the wrong half of the pitch at the time, it is indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAS Posted 21 September, 2012 Share Posted 21 September, 2012 You didn't watch the united game then? He was superb.Good on the ball and going forward, like Lallana, needs to put a full defensive shift in. But we do need to push higher up the field as a team and compress the time and space of the oppo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pangy Posted 21 September, 2012 Share Posted 21 September, 2012 Needs to work on his defensive side IMO,needs to pick up the oppo wing back when defending as he has left Clyne on his own a few times this seaon,same goes for AL and Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 He was pretty awful against Arsenal. And very slow.he isn't quick, never has been never will. Realise that and you'll see a different player. Maybe not the best, but usually with a decent touch that keeps the ball reasonably well. It will be interesting to see how he reacts to the next `Chamberlain'. Last time he sulked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Donovan Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 IMO he was very poor in the first half but came alive for a brilliant 25 min spell in the second half. Hes clearly a very talented player, id just like to see him shine when things aren't going well for the team and if he can do that he'll be a very important player for us this season.

Chez Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 poor first half. Very stuttering display and his terrible pass led to their goal. Clyne didn't help him, often eating his space, and he didn't see much ball, but when he did he didn't push down the line enough. Excellent second half though. Perhaps Richardson helped him with different movement and positions. Very pleased he got his goal. He has been barracked on here for a long time and having recommended we sign him several years ago I thought my eye for a player had left me. He has the touch to do it at this level. Not sure 4-4-2 quite suits him, but at home he certainly offers us something. All is rosey. Perhaps he'll even buy himself another pair of black trousers with the goal bonus.

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 22 September, 2012 Share Posted 22 September, 2012 I've said it before and I say it again: The problem is the lack of end product, whether tackle, cross, pass or shot. Sometimes he still looks good, sometimes bad, but I fail to see that this is the issue. If the crosses rain into the box and the passes go to a saints player I'll forgive him even if he looks bad. And you're right. I too have given this player some stick over the years on the grounds of both his technical ability (or lack of) and his questionable attitude. However I though he did well both today and against MUFC. His final delivery and shooting are likely to remain as wayward as ever I fear, but there is something about the status of being a Premier League player that seems to make him raise his game significantly. I (and the fans around me) were most surprised to see him substituted today considering how increasingly effective he was becoming as the game went on - although the young player who replaced him (Mayuka) looks as keen as mustard and a proper prospect. Keep this under your hat, but I think Jason Puncheon could be a real asset for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
