What a way to run a football club.
This is wishful thinking not based in fact.
Tel is being selected to play, as a central striker, in a league he does not know.
He finished his chance against Villa well but; he is struggling with the physicality of the league.
He just is and it's obvious.
Extreme rust means he has the same attributes as last season but cannot get the same output as last season.
Mentality/confidence is essential to a player - as is stress. Better to take player out of the firing line for a game or two and let him recover his confidence a little on the training ground.
The easiest example of the mental state of Tel and Scarlett is Dane coming off the bench v Elfsborg and score within about 4 minutes followed up by an assist - so despite not playing for a while he had confidence from training. Tel has shown the exact opposite in being ready for a game ........ despite his form last season
Tel scored 7 goals in 30 Bundesliga games last season. That is less than 1 goal every 4 games.
Ange is picking him as a centre forward, in a better league, and he is not match fit.
Square peg; round hole.
It's going how anyone with reasonable judgement would have expected.
I find Ange’s take very reasonable and better informed:
With Mathys, and I’m not on social media but I can just imagine the comments about him, he’s 19-years-old, he hadn’t played a lot, we’ve thrown him in and kept him in there because I want to build up his fitness.”
"But if anyone is expecting him to come in as a 19-year-old and take the Premier League by storm by scoring multiple goals, it’s not realistic. It just can’t happen. What we’re trying to do is work with him. He needs to get his physical fitness up because he hasn’t played a lot of football.”"
At 19, I see really outstanding attributes in him that I think he could be a really good number nine, he can play wide as well, but he’s not going to be a Dom or a Delap, he’s a different type. Looking at him in training, his movements are becoming a bit more fluent, he’s getting used to the way we play. He’s getting used to the level of competition.”"What I do love about him is that he’s a hard worker. You watch him in games, he’s closing people down, he’s doing the things we need him to do at the moment to help us. He may not be getting the goals and the accolades, but he’s certainly contributing to the way we want to play. That’s the most important thing. He’s got so much growth in him and I’m sure we’ll see that."
Werner needs to fuck off. And if he could take that aussie fraud with him that'll be even better
sub rightly booed by the fans because it made no fucking sense.
Ready for what? He should be the 5th option on the left and only used after everyone in the South Stand has had a go down the middle.
He flicked on a great header for a great goal for us two games ago. No one is saying he needs to start- but certainly when we are desperate for a legit aerial target we could find 20 minutes for him at the end of a game, no? Like I just said, it literally worked for us two games ago. Ange decided to put on Werner instead- Werner who hasn't even played a minute for us in the last two months.
Completely fair
Also add in lankshire loan it's a net benefit
Bit weird of Lilywhite posting that then. ?
Some random probably sent it to them and they did no fact checking.
Which isn't uncommon for aggregator accounts. Their entire money model is posting a lot and posting quickly.
Ready to be the fifth option. I don’t want the cunt either but as a senior player he needs minutes here and there
If Werner was going to get minutes rather used that for a young one who can grow.
Should have kept Yang if we were going to use Werner in anyway.
Dante Cassanova replied to Lilywhite saying the pic was from January, ad not recent
Something very political going on in the club here. The academy have posted some pictures of Dane training with the U21s and then deleted them. Cassanova has tweeted they are old and deleted the tweet saying they are old. LilywhiteRose still has the tweet up for now.⁸
Heard the senior squad had a light day/day off and Ange mentioned that Dane’s fitness needs work so I assume Ange wanted him fully training.
Doubt it is anything more than that.
Doubt it is anything more than that.
Come off it that back header could have gone anywhere.
