DCJonah Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Sounds like he's on the bench again. Excellent, things are going so well by doing the same thing each week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Sherwood didnt even have him on the bench. Barca got rid of him as he doesnt pass. He wont be taught. So where does that leave him.. he can finish and he has pace. We dont have any threat up front. Stick up him front with Gestede. Let Gestede flick on some balls to him and see the opposition defenders get scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan_007 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I genuinely don't see how you can't agree with Garde here. I think he is absolutely right. The kid is utter pants at the game, apart from running at pace with the ball and a few step overs. Take his first minute dash at goal out of his Arsenal performance and he looked like a body building fan pulled out the crowd for the last few minutes. Crap step overs with one going out for a throw in, and then completely confused when he has do anything else but sprint. At present he is an over developed 11 yr old, and a complete waste of money. He is two seasons off being ready for this league. At this moment we can't carry a player like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love more than anything for him to serve some humble goodness for me to chow down on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I think he should be given a start but, like a lot of people on here, think it should be in more of a striker role. We have a lack of forward options, he refuses to pass anyway, he can beat a man and will take a shot. What's to lose? At least give him the confidence of a start and then take him off after 60 if it's not really working, can't see how he'd be worse than any other striking options.

srsmithusa Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 i do not think he should start. But he should come on with 30 minutes or so left if we are 0-1 or drawing. Let him scare the opponent into putting 3 men on him and see if anyone can exploit that space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) If he starts and he's crap and we lose, how is that any different to the other 11 games where that's happened this season? Edited December 18, 2015 by DCJonah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 He looks like our only potential wildcard tbh. Everything else we have are known quantities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 We are relegated anyway so we might aswell tak e the opportunity to blood him as well as some other youngsters to see if they can improve with games. I suspect that's what will happen eventually but it won't be until the last 15 games of the season when everyone will accept we are down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do actually have a chance to get out of this, albeit a slim one, and it hinges on the next few games. I can completely understand not starting with Traore, although I would like to see him get a long substitute appearance this week as opposed to last week's cameo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're essentially saying Garde might as well just play the U21s in a game because, if we lose, it's not any different than before. Nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I'd like to see Adama start but I can't see it being this week. Newcastle's recent wins and other wins have come when counter attacking teams quickly. I can't see Garde setting up with a team that is going to have wide players who don't track back. Obviously this is pure conjecture, Adama might be an absolute beast defensively, some how I doubt it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Just now, Stevo985 said: Well done for missing the point I think I see your point in that the manager has to keep up the pretence that it's still possible for us to stay up. That's why I said it won't be until the last 15 games before we see Traore or other youngsters start to get game time when everyone accepts we are down. It doesn't really matter anyway as there'll be plenty of meaningless games between now and the end of the season for Remi to assess players and see who's good enough for championship football.
