villa4europe Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Had a look on their message board, think he's made one 10 minute sub appearance, seems to be more talk about why he should be playing rather than talking about him actually doing something sounds familiar... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) First touch from Adama after coming on and he went from the penalty box to penalty box in like 5 seconds . Almost resulted in a goal too. Oh how I wished he stayed and terrorized this division Edited September 24, 2016 by Keyblade 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 SSN said he changed the game when he came on. I think boro will get more from him than we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Phil Thompson in his match report says that he's quick but there were several times when his final ball wasn't good enough looking at the Boro forums they're having the same debate we had, what's the point in his mind blowingly quick run if he then doesn't pass and loses the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying Traore will be that good but he has many attributes to be a really really good player if he can learn what to do with the ball after he has been on his run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I was watching the game live and Boro were getting absolutely dismantled from the first whistle. As soon as Adama came on around the 60 min mark that all changed, he completely changed the game. Vertonghen and Alderweireld who were so comfortable pushing high up into midfield and stroking it around were suddenly terrified and pushed back. He made the difference (along with Jordan Rhodes somewhat) of Boro perhaps losing 3/4-0 to almost getting a point from that game. His end product was definitely lacking, but that can be coached and learned over time which he has a lot of considering he's only 20. What you can't teach is tearing through an entire team from back to front every time you touch the ball. If he can sort out his end product he will be a frightening player. One that we could have seen develop into that player playing for us which sucks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Cuts it at the wrong time... hes got two passes on there, the best and hardest one is inside the CB putting the bloke on the left side through on goal, the easiest one is to send the bloke on the right wide hoping to split the defenders and then carry his run hoping the other attacker goes back post so he can have a front post tap in something tells me it was cut because he does neither Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given he was doing pretty well and seeing time on the pitch at the start of last season, I'd say that also responsible is M Amevor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted September 26, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2016 Meh. Fast bloke ran fast. Still did nothing. Which will always be his problem. Don't get the hype. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Gabby is fast too but could never do that ever in his life ever. At the very least it puts defences on their heels and doesn't let the opposition ever get comfortable on the ball knowing there's someone who can be in your penalty box in 2 seconds flat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
