Keyblade Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 If he picked and chose the right times to do this, instead of trying it every. single. time. he has the ball, and focus on making runs in behind he could be devastating. He has to be a little thick to not realize that, and I'm sure he's had multiple different coaches telling him the same 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored in the league cup vs Notts County. The same game Joe Bennet scored... He caused havoc against Arsenal and Watford for one attack, when the opposition didn't know who he was. Watford especially, as soon as they realised the pace he had they stuck a player on him and he did nothing for the rest of the game. I had high hopes for him, and I think we should have played him more. But I don't think he'd have created an awful lot for us if he did. Not really overstating. Against Arsenal he did cause them problems in what, I recall, was a very small cameo. I remember him running from the half way line past 3 or 4 players and into their box before getting an ill advised shot off, one attack or not it made their defenders at the very least aware of him for his time on the pitch. Not really making him out to be amazing or anything, just that he did more than the shite in front of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That woke them up and they were fine for the rest of the game. BUt yeah I agree that he should have played more, I just don't think he'd have had the massive impact some people think he would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) As funny as this is to say, he should learn from Gabby's early career. He was a very useful player despite being even more limited than Adama, and arguably not as quick. Edited February 10, 2017 by Keyblade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 11, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2017 Commentators just said typical Traore as he bombed down the wing and blasted his cross high and wide v Citeh in the cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He almost got sacked for it, remember when he didn't manage a game against Charlton? Id put money on him being sacked the minute they slip into the bottom 3.

Zatman Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 he looked good on the highlights. put in one decent enough cross that nobody attacked and got a yellow card for Fer. as said many times he would be more useful up front his pace really is something impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did actually deliver a bit yesterday as Zat says, there was one cross that should have been a goal and he put an excellent ball over the top for Negredo, who must have the worst first touch in the history of Spain. Also got a couple of players booked with his pace. There is a player in there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 4 hours ago, dont_do_it_doug. said: Still 0 goals and 0 assists? Yes but some competent strikers would definitely be finishing chances Traore makes. I haven't watch him play that much this season, but in the few matches I have seen, Traore typically creates a great chance each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
