Zhan_Zhuang Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I wonder if Traore's wonder effort had of been a goal we would be saying different things? He was pretty good against Sheff Utd I thought, kept trying to make things happen and was unlucky not to score a goal to be remembered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I feel he is a good player. But not top a top level performer. We need someone with similar ability as Jack on the right in an ideal world. That is where the bulk of transfer fund should go in the summer I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've clearly been waiting to make this post for quite some time, it's funny though that despite him being 'shit', he's still created the best 2 chances in our last 2 games. Better finishing is more assists and goals to the already pretty decent tally he has this season. Do I think he is good enough to take us to top 4? No. He's not consistent enough for that. Do I think he's our biggest threat when jack isn't available? Absolutely yes. He's our second best winger behind jack and absolutely must play. He is not 'shit'. He's assisted and scored a decent tally this season. I'm 'shit', I play at the lowest division in my local league. Bertrand Traore is not. Now please stop plugging the narrative you began in the summer, blindly and allow him to carry on creating our best chances per game. Exactly what I was thinking, in bold.

Sulberto21 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Might have broken a rib there. Looked really really painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Such a painful looking impact. 1 hour ago, Sulberto21 said: Might have broken a rib there. Looked really really painful. I was worried about a kidney or liver or other organ injury...looked like it hit him just below the rib cage. Either way, not nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 What was that all about. I hope he is alright but it part looked like he accelerated as he came off the pitch and then stupidly tried to kick the barrier. Just put your hands out.

If fans were in would he have hopped in there? It was very strange. Quite like how he even gets pushed off the pitch with flair though. Looked sore, wouldn't be surprised if he's cracked a rib.

PaulC Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Really sorry he got hurt but wonder whether hes physically strong enough for the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Lots of players prefer to jump over rather than just bang their knee into the board right behind the goal. It was just unfortunate and yes bad knock to the hip so probably won't see him for a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted March 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2021 Kind of uncomfortable when the cameraman was stood directly over him as he was writhing on the floor in agony. Do we really need to be that involved? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he had the beating of their left back. I really hope I'm wrong about the broken rib. Someone mentioned that it looks like he might have damaged a kidney or his liver. Hopefully it's just some bruising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I really like Bert but I’m starting to think that his best position is going to be first reserve. Having him coming on after 60 minutes will be useful. Hope he’s ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Love this guy but I don't think he's the type to be a teams main creative threat. He's the kind of player who is an excellent 2nd option or supplement to someone else. He won't take over a game. When Jack is out and now Barkley in terrible form, he is needed to provide the spark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked to me he did that to avoid being clattered in the first barrier, then was thrown into the second. Broken ribs is a nothing injury though. And there's no chance it will affect his future performances, like ligaments or similar stuff could do. Wonder if we could play Grealish/Sanson/AEG or AEG/Grealish/Sanson. Guess we could also play Grealish, Sanson, Watkins and move Davis up front. Edited March 13, 2021 by KenjiOgiwara 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooJung Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 It's irritating that in 2021 we haven't found a way to make these protective barriers safer. It's not uncommon to see players crash onto them and although it's usually just a knock you can definitely see the potential harm in them. Running at full speed and off balance, Traore might have just as easily injure his head rather than his ribs. I was frustrated that we had te see him go off injured not because of a football dynamic, rather than because of infrastructure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 It was a hell of a collision and it may have been a bit worse if he hadn't broken the impact with his foot. I do hope he's okay and not out for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
