VillaChris Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Can someone tell me what people in the game see in Dominic Solanke? He's 25 now so not some inexperienced kid. 3 prem goals all season. Now o.k you can say it's Bournemouth but Kieffer Moore had 4 before the world cup break. Watched him today and he's slow to get into space and pick out passes and that chance when he wanted half an hour to score before Mings slid in to block shows why he isn't good enough for this level. Considering Bournemouth had good some pace out wide if I were them I'd just start Moore again and go direct and gamble on flick ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes these kind of players can come good at PL level when they get to 28 or 29 and get clever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HongKongVillan Posted March 25, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 25, 2023 Neco William, not good defensively and just happens every time I watch him he happens to make a mistake. I thought he was loaned out to Forest from plop, but not realising the plop had con them off for £17m. What's with all these Plop youths who goes for £15m plus and be shit for the rest of their career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I was about those plop youths in general, the likes of Rhian Brewster, solanke, does nothing but goes for big money. Yes he may still be young, but I see nothing but a very clumsy player with no positional sense. For the many games he had played he doesn't seems to be as 'experienced', nor is he learning from mistakes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the many games he had played he doesn't seems to be as 'experienced', nor is he learning from mistakes He was pretty damn good at Fulham for the half season he was there, which is (presumably) why Forest paid up for him. Also depends how you play for club and country, as the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold has found out. Liverpool, rampaging attacking wing-back. England, expected to be in a tight back four with two holding midfielders to cover. It's very different. Williams is in a similar boat; at Fulham, he and Robinson provided a lot of attacking width with no real need to be defensively sound. Forest played in a similar manner (with wing-backs even more attacking tbh) using Spence and Lowe. Wales don't do that - pretty naturally as they're worse than most international sides, so they're more cautious. Instead of seeking attacking width from wing-backs, they use James and Wilson from a wide midfield position. But yeah, it's pretty ridiculous to write a player off at 21.

VillaChris Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Harry Wilson hasn't developed much at all from where he was 3-4 years ago. Seems very much one who's on the periphery of games constantly for club and country and he's 25 so needs to be stepping up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will never be a good full back but can be good as an attacking wing back, I've seen Welsh performances from him on a par with the likes of Maehle of Denmark in the inverted left wing back role. Forests current tactics don't suit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Has there ever been a bigger drop off than Dele Alli? In the papers today, wearing a vest, inhaling a balloon. Looks like he should be an extra in The Wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HongKongVillan Posted April 17, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 17, 2023 Pedro Porro - ok, only saw him a few times probably not enough to judge, but it could just be a coincident that he seems to contribute a lot of goals to the opposition whenever I see him play for either Spuds or Spain.
