I really do hope that when he returns he can make a difference though, we're crying out for the player he's supposed to be.

He's supposed to go past or around them I've said before, but for me his biggest problem is that his feet act quicker than his head. I was annoyed when we spent so much money on him. He has talent there's no doubt, but he's sooooo inconsistent it's infuriating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 I rate bolasie highly. He is a live wire. Direct and quick. Can’t wait to have him back.

Hafnia Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 His crosses are brill.... he makes them dip at the back stick. It's a bit different to having a player who can't beat the first man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 I don't think he was playing well enough before he got injured to warrant any hope of him doing anything special on his return. Vlasic is already a better player imo. Romey 1878, pete0 and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Romey 1878 Posted October 15, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Love how when the team are playing badly that players who aren't involved (for whatever reason) become better than they actually are and are seen as some sort of saviour. Bolasie is quick, but he falls over his own feet when he has a go at that stupid ball roll under his foot every time he gets the ball instead of just driving at the defender. Then he'll often just run into said defender. Then if he actually managed to beat his man he'd shank cross into the stand or over every fucker and end up at the other side of the pitch. Obviously you'd get some decent stuff from him but he really isn't going to transform our fortunes. He's not the only player that gets this treatment. Davies, despite being as shite as anyone in the majority of his appearances, should be in every game. Besic (and I'm a big fan of his) is getting touted every single game as a problem solver for us, but he's been absolutely terrible when he has played. Lookman should be playing but he doesn't do what we need in this team - he doesn't stay wide, and he doesn't run with the ball. Barkley would have us driving through the middle despite the fact that he slows us down because he wants three extra touches, to pivot with the ball a couple of times, then pass backwards. Deulofeu (taking out the fact we couldn't have stopped him leaving) and Mirallas would make massive differences despite the pair of them being as inconsistent as you'll find, and one of them being a massive dick head. Im just waiting for the "we shouldn't have sold Cleverley" shouts after his goal yesterday. Matt, Newty82, Vranny and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davies is suffering from feeling that he has to do something amazing when he plays due to koemans irrational use of him. Plays well and gets dropped and yes he has had that happen to him. Yet klassen does nothing and plays every single game. He will mess the kids head up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because most of the time this season he’s done the square root of fuck all. Utterly anonymous. Klaassen hasn’t even been playing recently. For the record, I’m not saying that any of the players I mentioned couldn’t do well for us, only that the way people are frothing at the mouth that they aren’t playing, or playing as much, is a bit ridiculous.

Shukes Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Thing is, when some of those players were playing... we looked better. when Savies and Barkley were in the team, we looked better. Yes we critisized Barkley, but mai it because we expected more, not because he was shit. Our problem now, is that we look terrible and boring.
