Skruff Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 It's a shame to hear he had a bad game. Thought he have made some very promising appearances after he came back from loan. Coupled with a few bad ones. Seems like he's a confidence player. A young player having a bad performance in a game such as today, is no reason to write him off just yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's Leeds we play in the final, we must get somebody running at Dallas. We can nail them there. He's not a natural left full so run at him. For that game specifically El Ghazi wide right, Adomah on the left. Not working, switch sides. Still not working, Kodj on. Bolasie would of actually being ideal wide right if we play them.

Dr_Pangloss Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Very poor tonight, perhaps better coming off the bench, also thought the occasion really got to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Pretty much agree, performances don't come much worse than that, especially taking into account he was up against Kieran Gibbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 There was one very sad moment where he actually went on quite a nice little run at their defence, and for a moment - not long, but more than a split second - the defence parted and a decent shooting opportunity was right there. He got his body round the ball, turned right around and played a short backwards pass to Elmo or someone. Just a small moment, but it struck a chord because I think he needs to be *a lot* more ruthless to succeed, even at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 DS could consider having Grealish on right more. He will still play in his position but drift towards the right a lot more to support who is playing on the right because that’s our weak offensive spot.

hippo Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Still think Albert will start at Wembley - Smith seems to like to keep the shape consistent. Its close call but Albert just shades it , (for all his faults Albert came close to winning it for us tonight )- Green can come on as the pacy impact sub. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a really weak area for us but Adomah is just a bit more competent than Green from the start so yes, have to start with Adomah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 he's ok coming on for 15-20 minutes against tired players but a waste of space & completely ineffective when he starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villanmac Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Won't make it at any level, worst player I've ever seen come through our ranks and it's not reactionary to tonight, I'm just infuriated we played him in a such a massive game when he hasn't shown any capability to play on the big occasion.

The Moustache of Teale Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Sadly I have to agree. Professor Green would have been more effective on the wing than him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous comment borne out of emotion rather than logic. Was in the pompey team, got injured and got back in it again . Think that's probably his level. He'll make it at a certain grade.

Tomaszk Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Very bad footballer. To see how far behind Callum Robinson he is who we sold three years ago is upsetting. Needs to go out on loan next year no matter what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think so.....I thought his penalty performance was predictable and I thought the chance that fell to him was tentative and predictable.....He has the heart of a butterfly. ******* woeful......like a fart in a cullinder. sooner play with 10 men Edited May 14, 2019 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure enough he was in and out of the Pompey team but he's in and out of ours and he sure as fk ain't champ level so that means little when assessing ability. His movement is awful, it's not even pro like, that's without getting onto his ability when he gets on the ball. As for starting him in a derby like that..its clear as day he hasn't got the mentality.. Edited May 14, 2019 by villanmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 No doubt he had a bad, very bad, game tonight. That said, some of these over-reactions are a bit much as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definetely don't think he can start at Wembley. Way too much for him. But then Albert is pretty useless too. El Ghazi on the right and Kodj wide left ? Does Kodj work hard enough against a Leeds team who's bread and butter is workrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd start Kodjia. I get the concerns but I want Leeds not just to think mark Jack out of the game and nulify our game, give them more attacking options to worry about especially as it seems they have injuries at full back. Fed up of us playing safety first teams in major finals and then everyone wonders afterwards why we can barely get a shot on target in the game. Sherwood rolled the dice v Liverpool and it paid off beautifully. He then went safety first v Arsenal and we were outplayed from kick off. Less said about our approach to the Fulham game the better. We're more likely to be on the front foot v Leeds with Kodjia starting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
