Would you be affected in a way knowing you wouldn't be starting matches? Obviously what we've seen is that he has been used as a second half sub, and it's given that footballers want to play football, would you be annoyed you aren't in the starting XI? | |

If he’s getting paid I tidy wage and getting man of the match awards for playing 20 mins and helping us win games I don’t think he gives a Sh!t to be fair. | |

FYI I know he has a hamstring made from meringue, but this is just a psychological question. | |

He knows better than anyone how fragile his hamstrings are. | | | |

He must have a hefty bonus for assists. Imagine that though, coming on for 20 minutes, 2 assists, extra man against you, you're losing, and you end up winning the game. Last time I saw something like that was Solskjaer. | |

Yep.
He confirmed it really in the interview he has on the official site the other day. | | | |

He is the very definition of a “game changer”.
The perfect man to bring off the bench against tired opposition fullbacks. Always going to be a total mismatch. If we start him he’ll be less effective in the crucial moments late in the game. | | | |

Agree with this.
Whenever we have seen Montero start, he rarely has a good game, but an impact player he is dynamite. If you couple this with the fact that he is highly injury prone, then you imply don't risk him when we are winning and looking comfortable. | |

He doesn't sound annoyed to me. Just very happy to be back at a club and under a manager where he feels wanted. You could see from his celebration in the Sheffield Utd game just how much it meant to him to be back on the pitch and making a difference again. If his fitness holds up and he's still not getting enough game time then maybe things will change, but for now he seems a very happy bunny.

The problem is that Potter does actually intend to try and get him playing 90 minutes, which I think would be a mistake.
He has always been more effective as an impact sub and as he is injury prone the longer he plays the more likely he is to suffer a recurrence.

Yep. I’d be over the moon to see him play 20 mins every game of the season. | | | |
| If you were in Montero's shoes on 13:40 - Sep 4 with 7605 views | jack247 |
No. He’s an impact sub. He comes on and guns it for 20-30 minutes against tiring defences. He wouldn’t be half as effective if he had to conserve his energy to last a full game and was up against fresh defences. It’s the perfect role for him. | | | |

Montero seems happy about having an impact role in the squad. If I were in his shoes I’d be happy the manager using me aware of injury record, and rather be sub in 20 matches than play 3-4 matches then have a few months out. From the money side he’ll still get the match bonuses as a sub versus none from the medical room. | | | |

I posted that link elsewhere. Montero says he's very happy with how Potter is managing him. | |

We're nursing him through till the January window opens, and if his hamstrings are still OK, he'll be sold, just like anything that isn't nailed down. | |

He’s an impact player. If I can see that then I’m sure he can. | |
| |

Anyone with any sense can | | | |
| If you were in Montero's shoes on 16:32 - Sep 4 with 7282 views | Mo_Wives |
I get the feeling he'd rather be used for 20mins by a manager who says "Just do what you do, son" rather than 90 mins where he's made to worry about team shape and defending. Or as Garry use to call it "The other side of the game"
Potter seems to understand that to Jeff there is no 'other side of the game'. And Jeff seems to understand that his hamstring is more likely to get torn than a valley girls hymen on a hen night.
It's all cool. | |

| If you were in Montero's shoes on 16:59 - Sep 4 with 7210 views | JACKMANANDBOY |
Using him that way has a psychological impact ........on us; " Jeff is on lets play to his strengths " and on other teams " look out they are on the attack" | |

It felt hopeless last season looking at the bench. But even with a ridiculously thin squad now, seeing Jeff there makes a difference. At 1-0 down on Saturday I saw him coming on and felt lifted, I'm sure the players do too. He won't always turn around games, but if anyone can, he's the type of player who will | | | |
| If you were in Montero's shoes on 17:44 - Sep 4 with 7114 views | Mo_Wives |
For the opposition it must be like when we'd play Man City and they'd call for a sub and Aguero would be ready to come on and you just think "F*ck" | |
| |
| If you were in Montero's shoes on 20:26 - Sep 4 with 6970 views | Brynmill_Jack |
Agree 100%. One of the lads in work keeps saying he should start but no way. I would prefer it if we started with Mackay on the left and Asoro/Dyer?Routledge on the right to be replaced for the last 25 mins by Jeff and Narsigh with Bony coming on for a tiring Ollie. It's what football dreams are made of mun ! | |

Nah. After the last few years of injury purgatory I'd be loving the chance to come on and be a match-winner. | | | |
| If you were in Montero's shoes on 20:37 - Sep 4 with 6942 views | Brynmill_Jack |
He seems really happy here now. But he's not the only one, the togetherness and camaraderie is really beginning to show. Hope it just gets even better. | |

Going back a bit further, the best super sub was David Fairclough at Liverpool, that guy really did have the knack of making the most of 10 minutes. | | | |
