Might just be me but thought buyens reaction at full time was strange.
Great team performance and decent enough game from buyens but marched straight off the pitch when the whistle went while the rest of the team congratulated each other.
Making something out of nothing or a player no longer interested in playing for the club?

I still think he looks like he doesn't want to be here which is a concern if Jackos injury is serious.0

I noticed that too, didn't seem too happy did he.

Something seemed to go wrong a month or so ago - he was brilliant at the start of the season but seems really uninterested now.0

To me he looked like he an almost solid performance today...almost as classy as he was at the beginning of the season8

He couldn't pick a pass to save his life.letthegoodtimesroll said:To me he looked like he an almost solid performance today...almost as classy as he was at the beginning of the season
He thinks he is better than he is, play it simple - you're not Pirlo.

He wasn't classy today!8

Walked off with a strop I thought
But deffo had his best game in ages0 -
When motivated I think he was a really strong player at the start of the season, but his motivation seemed to disappear recently and with it his ability to influence games in the way he was.WSS said:

Give over he was very good today. Least he tried to make things happen. The longer he has two strikers in front of him the better he will get.WSS said:

It seemed to be a different Buyens today. The early season Buyens seemed to keep his passing short and accurate and would rarely put a tackle in and if he did would pick up a yellow card.
Today Buyens tried more forward passes than usual which didn't always work out but I thought he actually broke up play and won a few tackles, nothing in the way of Solly-like winning tackles but enough to break up play.
But yes he did seem intent in marching straight off the pitch again at full time until it seems he was prompted to briefly clap the fans.3 -
Agree he was very good at the start of the season...seems to have lost interest.
Very strange reaction at full time and need players like Jackson atm who want to fight for the club0 -
Thought he did OK today.0

Obviously see things different - just think he sometimes tries things he is simply not capable of. Usually in positions that puts us on the back foot.Nicholas said:

I thought he broke up the play well, his passing was very poor though. Possibly because he was trying to be a bit more creative than usual to be fair to him, however he gave the ball away far too often.4

He was ok but a number of times when trying to put someone through he didn't get the pass quite right. Not classy or poor today.5

I have no idea why, but I've taken it upon myself to study Buyens. I have him on permanent player cam in my head. It started when I noticed his ability to look like he's playing in the game, yet do so without actually touching the ball.
Today I thought he was... dreadful. I'm stunned to see people give him glowing reviews. The only difference today seemed that he tried harder than usual. And I say that because he did some warm ups at half time.
In the five minutes he played in the first half, he did that little dummy (I'm not certain it was intentional) and touched the ball once - misplacing a five yard pass for a throw in.
In the second, he went long spells without doing much, and gave the ball away far more than he managed to find a red shirt. Two through balls in particular were very poorly weighted. I felt like he knew he was off the pace, rather than the previous assumption that he didn't care. Indeed, with the team and crowd being so positive, he couldn't get away with his usual disappearing act, until the final whistle when he disappeared up the tunnel with the newfound knowledge that he needs to improve to play a part in the season's renaissance.21 -
Let's not write him off just yet. To be fair, based on the Belgian fans' description of Lepoint as a battler who maybe lacks a bit of pace, he is probably a more like for like replacement for Jacko.Talal said:

Wasn't there today but sounded like we had solidity and work rate right down the spine of the team and it made a big difference.
Buyens can contribute to that, but if his heart isn't in it he's better off on the bench, we can't afford to have a passenger in the centre of a 4 man midfield.2 -
He was making telling tackles and interceptions when they were needed and in keeping with our change if game plan was playing through balls which on another day would have resulted in goals... A couple of wayward passes are ways expected...that was a good performance today1

Glad I'm not the only one. Thought I was going mad and I wasn't even drinking that much today.2

I thought he was abysmal too, so definitely not just you - the one sour point of the day.WSS said:Glad I'm not the only one. Thought I was going mad and I wasn't even drinking that much today.

This is his true talent. If you don't watch him for every second, he does enough to give the casual observer the sense that he's doing the right stuff. It's only if you look at him closely that you realise, he's the facsimile of a footballer. A fraud. A pretender who knows what moves to make to avoid being found out. He's very talented at it and I respect him for that.letthegoodtimesroll said:He was making telling tackles and interceptions when they were needed and in keeping with our change if game plan was playing through balls which on another day would have resulted in goals...
