Was the least of our problems today, he's been told to play EXTREMELY wide, tried to come in and get involved a bit more and was told by Ange to get back on the touchline.I just don’t see it with this kid.
The way he runs with the ball, the way he always cuts back. He’s improved off the ball slightly.
My concern is that, in terms of trajectory, I don’t see the basic skill set that is going to be built upon.
Same with me mate. Yes, he's improved a bit recently, but he's very basic. Hasn't got any tricks, jinks or guile which top wingers have.I just don’t see it with this kid.

That’s fair. And certainly not suggesting he was the main concern today. He’s been better the past few weeks.Was the least of our problems today, he's been told to play EXTREMELY wide, tried to come in and get involved a bit more and was told by Ange to get back on the touchline.
He was then put at centre forward when Son went off when it's obvious he's not a centre forward.
We desperately need our defenders and goalkeeper to pass the ball forwards more quickly so that we don't give an opportunity for the opposition to retreat and regroup. THAT is our biggest problem now. What can the top 3 do when the opposition has already defended in numbers?That’s fair. And certainly not suggesting he was the main concern today. He’s been better the past few weeks.
We’re just so desperate for genuine quality in the final third.
He gave Werner a chance early but was unimpactful after.
Best of a bad bunch in attack today. Wasn’t amazing but at least he tried to get at them. One of the few who can hold their head high today.
He did okay but he's Mr Basic. Simply not threatening enough for way we want to play.
this best sums it all up.I don’t see the basic skill set that is going to be built upon.
Being constantly short of HG and club trained players is really starting to hurt us and limit our choices. Levy is so fucking frustrating.this best sums it all up.
think he can be a weapon if hes coming off the bench in a game where the oppo has to press up and come onto us to try and chase a game. but against sides happy to contain us hes not going to offer much, doesnt have the guile. pretty much like the rest of the front line.
50m youd think youd be buying a footballer that would be out of this world, technique, I.Q, sharpness....instead you get someone who can run fast..... sad
46m used to get you zidane...now you get someone who can run a little bit quick...its actually quite sickening.
hopefully in a couple years we will have devine and that mikey moore kid come through to help with that side of things.Being constantly short of HG and club trained players is really starting to hurt us and limit our choices. Levy is so fucking frustrating.
Pretty much, think he's a good PL player and his speed and solid end product makeHe did okay but he's Mr Basic. Simply not threatening enough for the way we want to play.
I'm so glad we fixed our recruitment ...
