Why is Jovanovic rated by loads

[Stano123]

He hasn't overly impressed me, but not many have to be honest, its early days we will have a better idea of what player we have in a month or so when he has really settled in.

 

No point of judging any player this early.

[shanks96]

i like him hes inventive gives 100% and gets stuck in and is proud to be wearing the shirt dunno how anyone can dislike him.

[gkmacca]

Souness used to praise a player by saying 'He's a man,' which, sadly, usually meant he was Julian Dicks or Paul Stewart. I'd prefer to say, in this instance, he's an adult - he seems bright, thoughtful and responsible. He's going to make the most of this move. That's what you need.

[VladimirIlyich]

The thing that makes me quite indulgent towards to him is his professionalism. I don't doubt for a minute that he's going to work and work - and think - to improve, in stark contrast to the likes of some other recent signings. Every time he comes off the pitch I suspect he's going to analyse everything he did and didn't do and try to learn from it. Maybe he won't progress, but, a bit like Craig Johnston, he isn't here to deliberately waste his time or ours.

 

I hope he does turn out to be a bit more Craig Johnston than Erik Maier!

Ha! Well, with the best will in the world, Mad Erik didn't strike me as thoughtful!

[alihill]

Looks very much life a glorified Kuyt at the moment, but as many have already said it's only fair to judge him after a month or so. The problem is in a months time in the Premiership we could already be chasing tails in the 4th place race!!

[mlwilliams]

He's cack, poor ball control, clumsy lacks a footballing brain. Being a nice lad ain't gonna get us top 4

Stop crying you cock.

[BurtReynolds]

He's cack as the OP said. Rubbish rubbish player. Cant beat a man to save his life. A glorified Kuyt without a doubt

[paulie1969]

Looked very poor today.Give him another couple of games to make up mind on him.

[ODZ]

He's a headless chicken. Pretty quick chicken, but still headless.

[Major Tom]

Looked very poor today.Give him another couple of games to make up mind on him.

 

A whole 2 games huh? Awfully tolerant of you!

 

Players can take 6 months to settle into a new team, league, country. I'd give him another couple of months before we make up our minds.

[edge of darknes]

Reminds me of mad erik. All heart and effort but no end result. Torres didnt look like he had any confidence in him either around the 20 minute mark when they both broke forward.

[Guest PurpleNose]

Think he could end up being more effective off the bench. Rather see him upfront or on the right than on the left.

 

Much better at cutting inside and getting shots away than crossing the ball.

[Mr Piechnik]

Looks very much a typical Rafa type of player.

[Pidge]

He seems a bit reticent to shoot, which is annoying. He needs a goal, soon. Maybe would be best from the bench. His pace will come n handy and the ball seems to stick to him when he builds up a head of steam.

[Hades]

Fuck off you whoppers. Voronin got off to a great start at Liverpool and look where he is now.

[Anubis]

He runs like somebody who is holding in a shit and is desperate to get to the toilet, but knows they're not going to make it.

 

Ability wise, I think it's a bit early to write him off. The team haven't settled, some key personnel are missing, and our first choice eleven probably includes one player suspended and two others newly/nearly-signed. When the team is settled and playing the way Hodgson wants we'll be in a position to judge him.

[The Dude Abides]

Poor game. Move on.

[Barnseysleftpeg]

He's a foreign player new to the league. Some of them hit the ground running, most of them don't. The best recent example has to be Malouda, looked shit for two seasons and then it all clicked last season.

 

Give the guy time.

[Unrighteous]

He'll be a decent option.

[kimmern]

jovanovic is a joke.

[Shreddy]

Rafa has left us Jovanovic so we can remember him.

[derykw]

Jovanovich is shite and the final reminder of why Rafa`s time was up.

[sir roger]

I was fuming with him not shooting in the first half yesterday but when I saw it again on tv the pass from Gerrard was going away from him & he couldn't have got around the shot.

 

Had been wondering who he reminded me of until Dave U pointed out it was Al Bundy. Will struggle to take him seriously now.

[Irishlad]

Evra was shit for his first six months...
