Stats eh? How many points we got since Jairo was dropped?

I have always been a fan of the former Ajax player. In pre season he has shown his worth. Hope the manager does not place him on the bench again - finally we have a creative midfielder with an eye for good passing.

Put it simply, he is a true Ajax type - a real footballer with abilities and a football brain.

Jairo has played very well pre season but my concern is not his ability to see a pas and complete it but his lack of pace. The speed at which games are played at times in the Premiership could well mean him getting caught out when being counter attacked. This is exactly why he will never be a regular.

A certain Cabaye was nota sprinter either! What "slower" players lack in tempo, they more than take that out of the equation with their thinking, calmness and ability to find teammates with their passing. Agreed and this is why he should be a regular starter together with his ability to actually find a teammate with a pass

He needs patience. He has looked really good against teams in pre-season. He won’t have that much time in the league but he can make the spot his own. As good as he has been for us he also has a bad habit of giving the ball away cheaply with short passes. If he does that against Southampton it will be a goal for them. But he gives us something else in the middle and has good vision. I hope he isn’t dropped for Luka, it wouldn’t be fair on him. With Luka not being fully fit you’d like to think Jairo will start on Saturday. If he does he needs to really make the most of it and give Roy a very difficult decision to make.

When you think of all that time he was neglected, tried to dump him off on Swansea but he refused. Hoping he really establishes himself this season.

Me too hope! A midfield of Luka, McCarthy and MacArthur does not frighten the opposition.
