He hasn't come with a glowing CV and flopped - his quality was always a bit questionable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjackle Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Sometimes you see some real flair with him, and then sometimes it's like today. A good squad player but replaced as a starter next year I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Definitely struggled today but then he rarely saw the ball first half. Team passing was atrocious. We fully deserved to lose despite some improvement in second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) I usually see the good in his performances where I can... however, today he was woeful. Edited April 10, 2021 by Tommo_b 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked this about three months ago and hes continued to do it in most games since. Surely management can just tell him to stop doing it. It's not like he is Suarez and has a nasty streak in him which is difficult to coach out. It's almost like through boredom or lack of respect he chooses to blast the ball blindly, not really caring who it goes to. Very weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Traore will always struggle when we play teams who have all the possession and he has to go chasing (or not). In a way he's a better version of Hourihane in that when we are on the front foot he is much more effective. We weren't even trying to get the ball to him in the first half. In fact I don't know what the plan was! That observation aside he wasnt great today regardless however nor were the rest of the team so I don't think he should be taking a larger proportion of the blame. Had we been even luckier today (if you can't be good be lucky) we could have won let alone draw. A frustrating game but we're still difficult to beat which is one positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Should have come off at half time. Everything was going wrong for him today. I really havent been a fan of his demeanour of late, plays like it's a real chore and cant handle any physical contact, which I dont buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted April 10, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10, 2021 Completely disagree that consistent wingers don't exist except at the very highest level. You can be consistently poor, consistently average, consistently good or consistently superb. What we have with Traore, and indeed all of our wingers is consistently poor. Traore is probably consistently a tiny bit better than the other 2 and then has a few very very small flashes of brilliance, but it's still essentially consistently poor. Those flashes of brilliance are just not good enough for me, nowhere near good enough. I would rather swap any of them for a consistently average winger but ideally we get a consistently good one. Traore has been a huge disappointment and I think we made a major error with his signing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A worry too given that he is arguably the most talented of the 3, including Trez and AEG, and they are possibly more suited to the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Dismal. Watching him on the wing reminds me of watching Aly Cissokho at full back. A couple of times in 90 minutes he'll do something exciting, but for the rest of the game I'm wondering if the signal from his brain is actually getting to his legs properly. He has absolutely no idea of what you need to do to be a successful Premier League footballer. Makes no effort to win anything back, and provides no protection or assitance to Cash at all, nor does he create anything for Ollie. In short, an utter waste of money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I certainly don't see how he can be considered backup for Watkins. He doesn't have the workrate or strength to do that role, and that's not even taking into account the fact that he will have 1 good game out of every 4. A squad player but not much more if we want to really push on next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 he injured his ribs/side a few games ago and it looked like he hurt them again, not making excuses for him, but it did seem to make him worse than usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) He has loads of potential, hope he will fulfill it. But at the moment he is a 17M winger, it might be as easy as that he is really good against the lower half teams, but not good enough against the top teams. If he would outperform the players at Liverpool, Man C etc he would be a 50M winger. He also has a obsessive compulsive disorder of having to play one stupid blind pass backwards in every game.

Jimmyg Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 He is the best player in the world for 3 minutes and the worst for 87. I think it’s clear like a lot of our side he lacks any kind of competition.. especially with Trez out he will be starting every game for the rest of the season unfortunately like the other waste of space on the right AEG. We are in damage control now for the remaining games.... yes we had a great start to the season and the bar was raised but we all new the squad depth was gonna kill us... we all knew that we have nothing beyond the first 11... but it staggers me how people are suprised about it now.....thankfully we have have our back 5 sorted.
