I don't think it's him that's all that poor, rather that none of the players seem to know what the others intend to do.Assist aside he's having a poor match but half the team are new signings so will take time
Left - Centre mid.what position is he playing?
That seems to be the problem. He doesn't seem sure if he's an 8 or a 10.what position is he playing?
Does seem bit of an unbalanced formation doesnt it. Cause Devine isnt playing as advanced as Whittaker on the right side, he's dropping deeper along with the other 2 CM's but thats leaving big gap then up to Hardie up front.That seems to be the problem. He doesn't seem sure if he's an 8 or a 10.
If it's good enough for Alfie it's good enough for TImo!Assist on debut
Blast from the past, thought he would be about 40 by now.Alfie got a great review on the BBC website and got an assist for the first goal apparently.
Ashley Philips also played the full 90 minutes but was yellow carded (learning quickly off Cutie! ).
Great idea getting these 2 together at the same club, and both seem to be expected to have great futures.
[quote from BBC]
Foster handed debuts to two midfielders as both Adam Forshaw and Tottenham loanee Alfie Devine were given starts and both players produced excellent displays, providing impetus for the hosts.
Devine, 19, was recalled by Spurs from a successful loan spell with League One Port Vale and moved to Home Park, with Foster stating his excitement about working with a player he knows from the England age-grade set-up.
Foster's faith in Devine was rewarded on 31 minutes as he created Hardie's equaliser, reacting quickly to produce a pinpoint cross which Hardie swept into the net from six yards out.
Devine's influence on the game grew and his effort on the stroke of half-time was saved by Cardiff goalkeeper Ben Alnwick.
Swans had 72% possession, which I imagine made it difficult for Devine to make a huge impression.
Alfie Devine 6 - The 19-year-old loan signing from Tottenham made just his second Argyle appearance as one of the two attacking players behind Ryan Hardie in Argyle's 3-4-2-1 formation. He made a darting run to receive the initial short corner taken by Adam Forshaw which led to Morgan Whittaker's decisive goal. Devine touched the ball back to Forshaw and his cross into the box picked out the Pilgrims' top scorer, whose first-time finish was very precise.
Ashley Phillips 7 - It is impressive how much of a physical presence that Phillips has about him at the age of just 18. After four successive starts for the Pilgrims since arriving on loan from Tottenham Hotspur it is already clear he is more than good enough to play at Championship level.What rating did Phillips get mate?
