Very poor today. Not willing to work clearly has ability which glimpses were shown.
He has not done anything to enhance what previous clubs have highlighted as his attitude, commitment and complacency which has hindered his career and made him a journey man

He worked as hard as anyone today. I can't think of anything that he did that was productive, he was non existent at times. working hard as a creative attacking player is not what any team needs to win. Its not a positive in my opinion, he was brought in to create chances which he hasn't done

One of our best players today I thought. Don’t understand the ‘not willing to work’ thing, he always wanted the ball, dropped deeper and deeper to get it, his range of passing was good and he dusted himself off despite Garry’s goon squad roughing him up at every opportunity.

You are kidding right? He has played about 450 minutes in 5 months yet he was the second best player on the field today. He is getting there, be patient. Some moments of quality today, not enough maybe but the signs were good. Who was better?

After Allen ( despite Bayern‘s marking of Allen) Powell was easily our best player. I think the problem is that some of our players are just very slow to react to some of his passes- he literally is two yards quicker than most of his teammates upstairs.

Showed some skill, tried to pass it forward but it wasn’t a game for a number 10 was it? The midfield behind him didn’t have the ball to pass it to him. He had to drop deep and come looking for the ball.

As evidenced by the quick throw he took that McClean really wasn’t expecting. And the quick free kick he took that McClean didn’t react to. The people around me bollocked him for that free kick but the ball took an age to go out. McClean would have got to it easily.

He was the second best player today, not much of an accolade maybe, but given his game time? I thought he was quite impressive

Powell was our 2nd best player today behind Allen I agree he was our second best player but the fact it is he had a couple of moments that were not consistent over the whole 90 minutes. it was a very poor performance from both sides and bar Allen its not good enough to be the second best player from glimpses of what you can do. surely as a professional you should want to highlight your abilities and change the game

They had 11 men behind the ball. He always wanted the ball, he tried to make things happen. His range of passing was good and he was one of our best players on the day.

Can anyone mention a threading situation he has created?

Only real quality on show and put in a shift too Rediculous original post There was no quality by anyone today the only exception was Joe Allen. Other than that there was 19 outfield players that were shite. I'm not rating Powell on todays performance I don't think he's done anything anywhere near what he can do. Which is nit acceptable. If you were told you could be one yell of a player but you are not showing what you can do, I would work my bollocks off to prove them wrong. I'm only frustrated because he has the ability but doesn't utilise it and is happy to say I will prove people wrong but hasn't which could do of he applied his skillset affectively and not become bored when it doesn't pay off

So which performances are you talking about?

In his role, he's either got to come deep to help work the ball through the middle, or get close to Vokes ready for the long ball. I'd prefer the latter, since it would cut out the tippy tappy on theedge of our own box and improve our tempo, but either would do. I think he got caught between the two roles a bit too much today.

I just don't think he is the character we need to progress when he's not fulfilling potential in an already toxic environment.
