Any decent manager this season woldve got more out of him than he got at AFCB last season.
I know this isn't provable but I genuinely think I'd have this team 8th or 9th. one simple example. We often play in front of our oponents but lack the ability on the ball to turn round teams sitting deeper, loads of coaches have sussed this. We spent on wide forwards that can not turn, they are supposed to get shots on goals from fullbacks underlapping and cutting back the ball for a tap in. Consequently we need a creative mid to drop in turn and supply the ball wide see Maddison against AZ, but him and Kulu have fitness issues.
So how has Ange resolved this...he hasn't . He over plays Kulu, played Maddison out of form, then not at all, now he is back. Whilst forcing the wrong profile player Bissouma Bentancur Sarr into tactics they can't manage. I'd have literally played Sarr in a scaled back defensive midfield role played the ball forward much quicker and used an answer he already stumbled on and immediately seemed to dismiss Ademola Ajayi. Who has a way better profile in committing players and looks more physically ready than even Mickey Moore ( who should also seen more mins.
Moore isn’t ready for the PL physically - had no impact whereas he’s looked good in Europa. Agree tho, tactics are mindless
If the basic and ill suited Son and Johnson hadn’t started a single game as a pair, that would have yielded another ten points. Suicide combo for this set up
Exactly. Yet as Maddison muttered to Son..same plan same players.
Another massive flop of a signing
Says a lot when his former team are doing better without him
50 million spent on this subpar striker… what a joke

Garbage
Him and Richie being our most expensive signings too is embarrassing

Hard to judge he gets no service.
Everyone looks shit because they play a rigid system that everyone knows how to stop. Could have prime Bale Ronaldo and Messi as the front 3 but when they don't ever get the ball they'd look wank.
That stat that came up showing our entire front 3 had touched the ball less then the Chelsea goalkeeper was embarrassing
You could say that about any striker but the fact is Richie and Son scored a combined ~25 PL goals playing striker last season while they were rotating
Solanke has 7…

Pointless thing to say. We were much better last season.Solanke has had a bad season but it would be fucking weird and harsh to write him off as shit when we know he can score goals in this league. We've had our worst season in the league for an incredibly long time and nothing has gone right.
100%. Gets absolutely starved of any service whatsoever. Can't remember the last time someone actually crossed him the ball to get his head on.
He'd be into double figures easily if he'd stayed at Bournemouth.
Limited, boring bang average player.
Can run without the ball - but not with it . Anyone can do that
Not particularly good in the air - does not have a good shot. Is not even particularly good at holding the ball up.
Was bought on the back of one good season of scoring a lot of tap ins . Has regressed to his average of one in four .
A typical Spurs crap signing - overpaying when no one else was interested

We could have put Mbappé as our number 9 this season and we'd probably be no better than 12th.
If the system doesn't play to the strength of the player then what can he do?
I think Dom would be way more comfortable with a decent no.10, he holds up play well and has decent reactions. Of course if we got crosses in 5 minutes earlier, instead of passing side to side and allowing the opposition to regroup, we'd probably see a better return too.
He was the one Ange identified he was who he wanted. He'd terrorise the SPL....
Can’t really make him the scapegoat for this season when that worthless shit cunt Richarlatan has been phoning it in for the last 3 years and still has fans defending him.
Big picture he’s only here because that cunt was so fucking shit. Don’t shoot the guy who has to cover that fuck up.

Outside of the first 10-12 games last season we were absolute shit - even when we had all those injuries and were playing like shit both Richie and Son were banging in goals when playing striker

Throughout his career, Solanke has scored 36 goals in 155 appearances in the Premier League which is subpar
NO WHERE near worth 50 million
We don't play a system that suits him, we've stopped high pressing and we rarely get crosses in. He's feeding on crumbs.
If he was missing sitter after sitter every week I'd agree with the assessment of those who think he is a flop but we can't even get the man any service.
