He can play as a CAM in a 3 man midfield or in front of a 2 man midfield. The double pivot can work we just had Nakamba out there with nothing to do because we had all the possession. Can't make snap judgements after one game especially when multiple first team players weren't available for selection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked poor as a CAM against Stoke Looked poor as a CAM against Watford Currently I'm not convinced tbh. I'd play him as a RWF. The position that is natural to him and he is familiar with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets give him a chance before we lambast him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not fit as many on here have stated. Gonna have to give it a couple games, we are pretty much incorporating a whole new attacking front line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed this gets ignored a lot to suit agendas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m certainly going to give them the benefit of the doubt, but right now, we have gaping holes (Kenneth GIF) in our squad and a negative net spend. There is work to be done in the next 2 weeks and if they can’t see that, then they can kiss goodbye to the European dream because this squad isn’t good enough. This isn’t based on yesterday’s result either. It’s based on last season too. We haven’t got a central midfielder at the club that is good enough for a top 10 team and there is no way you can compete at the top end of the table without a decent one.

You don't actually have an argument, so you make one up. I would be interested in remedies for a particular performance. Or even trying to identify the causes. But the simple endless negative repetition on Villatalk I don't think benefits the forum. So I propose we think carefully about how we reply.

YouUnastanFren Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 He's good enough to play anywhere. Clearly the problem was his fitness. He looked to be struggling, possibly with an injury. Hopefully it's something he's over quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Took hm a while to get settled. Might be the same with Buendia, although I don't expect it would take that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Patience is needed. It’s one game, he’s not fully fit and we’ve got a brand new front three/four. Remember all of those YouTube videos? He hasn’t become crap overnight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
