My potential concern would be when he’s getting more tired, which we won’t know about unless he starts and builds up stamina. we just sub him at 60' like we do theo when he runs out of steam, no big deal. to think Mola only has 30 min in him is comical at best DownUnderToff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other concern is his discipline tracking back. There’s a couple of concerns but I think the next game could be a great opportunity for him too. Again, all for him starting but my expectations are more conservative that optimistic for a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggytop Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 He drifted in field too often last night, and didn't give Seamus enough options down the line, when he runs a defenders he's a real threat, but after last night seem best suited as an impact sub at the moment..

StevO Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 He isn’t the type of winger to get chalk on his boots. Wants to come inside and not often get goal side of the defence. We need our wide men to pull the defenders apart, he was making it easy for them to stay tight. At one point Gylfi went wide right, I think to prove a point, and was then shouting telling him where to be, but didn’t make any difference. People have been calling for him to start for a while, for me I’d still be playing Theo ahead of him. A very capable sub, but starting a game is completely different. Much more useful from the bench for me. Romey 1878 and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, he did alright. one of which broke down because he touched it and it went to the opposition. he offers nothing more than pace for me. lookman has creativity and is able to make runs into the box with his trickery.

Bailey Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 I thought Lookman showed a lot of versatility and risk in his passing. Sometimes it didnt work but there were other times when he took out a couple of defenders with one ball but unfortunatly the person receiving the ball did nothing with it. I didnt think Walcott did too badly when he came on either but ultimately missed his big chances when played through by Pickford. I dont think there is much between them.

The first thing he did when he came on was hug the touch line, which in turn spreads the defence. It’s not always what you do on the ball that counts.

StevO Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 I’d like to see him get some chalk on his boots, never wants to go wide and always looking in the middle.

Happy for him to look inside some of the time but I noticed he was frequently showing for kenny in the middle and not really in clear enough places when a dart down the wing would have opened things up. He has the skills to beat players uaing both feet and can come inside well so really should be looking down the line more often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 That’s fine if he’s playing in a central position. If he’s playing outside and comes central it makes it easy for the defence to stay tight, so you have to pull off something wonderful to make a difference.

It's all about when you come inside. Too soon and you clog up the centre of the park and make it easier to defend against, too late and you don't get involved in the game enough. City's wingers are fantastic. Not because of their individual talent (well that too) but because their wingers stay wide until they are inside the final third. They spread the defence, it gives the central midfielders more space to make runs and it gives the wingers a great opportunity to get 1 v 1 or then 2 v 1 if the midfielder makes a run.
