Pinebro Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Another Traore imo Nowhere near good enough for a team pushing for top 4 but he will have to do for now till we can get an improvement. They tend to look down not up. Not aware of their surroundings which results in making the wrong decisions during key moments.

AVFCDAN Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Still early days at the moment but struggling to see why he should play ahead of Traore. Seems like n attack minded player but without the goals or assists at the moment, maybe once he starts firing we'll see a different player.

Popular Post villaglint Posted October 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2023 Understand the frustration from some but he's come very very close to scoring in every single game he has played for us. He's causing problems, hopefully it'll start to come for him. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post avfc1982am Posted October 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2023 Unbelievable some of the comments. Here less than 2 months, probably not even got a home and already been written off because he hasn't settled straight away and turned out to be Totti 2.0.

skarroki Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Guy nearly scored a worldie against Warsaw and followed that up with an overhead kick from 20 yards that pulled a good save out the keeper against Zrinjski. He's going to make the wrong decisions sometimes before he gets the numbers because I think he's trying too hard. I also think he can do things with a football nobody else at the club is capable of doing. Normally someone like that, a Coutinho, you wonder if you can carry them but this time it's a hard working brick outhouse that has that in his locker, he's not detracting from the side having him out there. Emery knows what's up and he's giving him a lot of game time. Confident he'll be man of the match any week now and have people sitting up taking notice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiezels Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 He’s much stronger than Traore too, muscles people off the ball. Will be very handy for us im sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Set up break away for Ollie second goal in hat trick. It's almost bizarre how none of his chances has gone in. Can't believe some writing him off already 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 not written him off, just trying to work out what i expect. I dont think i see him as a starter, i think hes probably in with Bailey, Tielemans, Ramsey, Carlos starting 10-20 games a season and featuring in nearly every games. Thats not a criticism. The big plus for me is how quickly he has come in and actually been effective. Hes played a lot of games already and hasnt looked like a stranger at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially his work rate, reading of the game, he’s got fantastic feet on the ball. He’s probably his own worst enemy in terms of trying to do too much. A goal will do him a lot of good. He’s got so much talent. He’s a player unlike anyone we’ve had in a good while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 The guy had no pre season as well. I think he's looked fine. His strength and pace are assets and he's nearly scored 2 goal of the season contenders. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc1982am Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I think he's looked great in the short time he's been here. Unlucky not to score in every game he's played in and his performances have been no different to the players fans rave about. Ollie Watkins, people can say what they want but he has had several games where he has been ineffective already and he's point man. That's not a slight on him just a fact. Diaby, another struggling to find consistency just yet and still finding his feet, which should also be expected. Bailey, nuff said. Traore, the truth is, if Emery isn't playing him and he's fit then there's a reason why. The fact is non of our forwards are ripping it up weekly or consistently at the moment, even those that are familiar with their surroundings. Zaniolo needs to be allowed to settle just like Duran and Diaby or what is the point of bringing these players in if fans just crucify and write them off after a few weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Emery obviously sees him as a key player as he seems a virtual first choice now. Give him a few more months to really judge him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishywashy Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 He has played a grand total of 259 Premier League minutes. Quite the reach to write him off when he hasn't even played 3 90's of league football for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we'll see a post shortly about him being used as a scapegoat without the poster understanding what the term scapegoat means. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
