Yep. Scarily, that's how simplistically I think Steven looks at the game. Not when it comes to his favourites mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on this one, I’m sorry, this idea that Buendia is a great player and ‘our best player’ just doesn’t fit what I’m seeing on the pitch. He loses the ball way too often to play centrally and he doesn’t have the pace or strength to play out wide. He’s capable of the sublime, and by that, I mean his ability to pick a defence splitting pass is excellent, but he just gets caught in possession so often. Right now, if I had to pick 2 of Bailey, Coutinho and Buendia, Buendia would be my last pick. Disagree tbh. He could be a wide playmaker just fine.

He was in the PL also, third for chances created behind only KDB and Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not particularly. Same reasoning can be applied to Coutinho though. I’m playing devils advocate a bit here as I love Buendia but whenever he finally gets his (very hard earned) chance he absolutely blows it.

LondonLax Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 9 hours ago, Sulberto21 said: When Norwich were in the Premier League Buendia created the 3/4th highest chances that season behind De-Bruyne and Grealish I can’t remember who else was up there. It was probably also Buendia losing the ball so much that lead to Norwich finishing on 21 points and a -49 goal difference that season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 The fact that every attacking player looks utter gash says pretty much everything. Impossible to rate them given the setup Steven sends them out in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie k Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I think we can all agree theres a quality player there, one of our best and would start in at least half of the other premier league teams. But hes very lightweight and our problem is we have too many small players and we get bullied. Emi, McGinn, Coutinho, Bailey and Luiz are all small.

It's just a shame that he's been inconsistent when starting and more impactful as a sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Should start every game. But sadly, the soul has been sucked out of this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 No but you see he doesn't look a world beater every time he gets 10 minutes off the bench or when he gets a surprise start once every 4 games, so we actually don't need him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I feel like Buendia has to score or assist every game or he won't start whereas coutinho can play consistently shit and still be in the team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
