I dont think he was that bad yesterday, in the first half he was the only one who showed up for the ball at times and made at least some smart passes. He lost the ball at quite a few times and couldn't find a killer pass or come into any really good scoring positions, but it will come when the players get used to each other more.

I also thought we played him too high up the pitch, he is of course not a target player that you lump long balls to. He is at his best when he is involved in the build up play, when he has the ball faced towards the opponents goal and running at the opponents. Yesterday he too often received the ball with his back towards the goal, which is natural if he is played that far up.

Does anyone know in what position and in what formation he played at Norwich when he was at his best?

Not worried the slightest bit, we know and could see that he has immense talent, just find the right position for him, let him glue with his new team mates and in a short while he will be great for us. Only thing that can hamper that is having his own fans racking down on him after one game and make him lose his confidence.

He’ll be fine. We have to get the line up right. Get him playing with Bailey and Traore at either side of him.

I'd put him on the bench for Newcastle, he seemed off his game and maybe needs to get his fitness and confidence up.

he wont get his confidence up by being benched.

He has missed the last 2 friendlies with a niggle/injury, he clearly isnt fully match fit, he will get there.

Yeah so, bench him and give him minutes until he's fit.

And that is where we need to play him. He does not have the physical presence to play as a 10.

I thought the whole point of buying him was that he could play central or wide.

You lot are fecking nuts, this kid is class. So it didn’t work on debut, in a new team in a new position, with no support, boo. 
 

Get a grip lads/ladies. This kid is a top player.

I have no idea. If he can play central all the better.

Benrhama just had 10/10 performance playing as a CAM for West Ham. If he can do it why can't Buendia. Playing him in the right puts one of our best attacking wingers (Traore) on the bench. We obviously need to give him time but our best way forward is to get Buendia in the middle.

Because different players.

Norwich tried to play him centrally at Norwich at times. It didn't work.

The same Benrhama that was shit last season and couldn’t hold down a starting spot?

Hope we don't put too much pressure on the lad. Give him time to settle, he won't be used to playing in front of big crowds.

Are we Norwich?  You literally have a 100+ post banging on about moving Douglas Luiz away from his favored position as a 6 yet you 100% can't consider a positional switch for Buendia because Norwich fans said it didn't work. Sounds like Bertrand Traore MK2 . 

I could care less that an often relegated premier league door mat couldn't get him to work as a CAM. It's obvious our coaching staff envision him as a CAM going forward. It's gives us the most oppurtunities to get all our attacking options on the pitch at the same time. Have some faith that Dean and the staff can work it out.

So in other words we're still gonna persist with a 2 man midfield?

Have a word ffs 

Sometimes it takes players a bit of time to find their legs in the PL. We always talk about it on here but seem to forget immediately once one of our own players has one shit game.

he wasnt properly fit
