Ademola Lookman

[Nyhus]

Was very active and had some good moments but gave the ball away a million times, mostly from trying to do too much.

This is my main problem with him. He did well tracking back yesterday, but once he gets the ball, he runs forward in a line, then stops suddenly and runs backwards before sending a backwards pass. He did this close to every time he got the ball, was sussed out and got the ball stolen, yet kept doing it. He needs to open his eyes and observe the game, then maybe he can become an okey backup. I thought we looked garbage after Theo went off.

Lookman now has an opportunity to impress and I hope he takes it. If we can get him firing on all cylinders then we will pose a great attacking threat once Richarlison is back and Bernard is fit. Our defence and the zonal marking still scares me though.

DCL, while still nowhere near the finished article, is showing signs of improvement and I think he could become our main striker next season.

If all our players progress as I think they will then, next season, we could be one hell of a team.

Pickford

JJK. Zouma. Mina. Digne

Gomes

Walcott. Siggy. Bernard. Richarlison

DCL

Well, to have Gomes and Zouma in the team next season, we will first have to buy them...…...

 

[NCLBlue]

Hope he can do well for us while he’s here - I do think we’d have sold him if RBL hadn’t been utter turds in the media. It was important for us not to look like we fold to sell all our players...

Bolasie lite

I agree with many of the comments in here about lacking width and him passing backwards often, but he would be a hero if only one of our players got on the end of his cross across the 6 yard box.


That’s football.

 

[toffeejack]

Every time he got the ball there was no options, in his defence. Anybody who was moving was marked.

 

[Bluewolf]

Just to be clear, Coleman and Davies also got massive cheers. There’s a difference between saying a players performance isn’t good enough - which neither of there’s were - and booing them onto the pitch.

When did Coleman and davies get a massive cheer feller? Because I was at the game and don't remember it. I remember everyone being on toms back the whole game and lookman getting a standing ovation ffs.

Absolutely embarrassing our fans sometimes

 

[Nymzee]

Could have cost us a few times yesterday in his brief cameo

When their names were read out, the same as when lookman did. People also got on lookmans back when he did things wrong, it’s par for the course.

Got in some decent positions to receive the ball, unfortunately Coleman and Davies where playing like pub players and didn’t get a ball to him the whole half. No way this lad can take any flak for the utter dross the senior pro’s where playing yesterday.

 

[efcjames]

Should bite Leipzig's hand off at £25mil.

 

[carolinablue232]

Bit careless yesterday but it doesn’t help that no one was doing anything. Even not at his best he created the only chance in the entire second half.

You mean at the start of the match when everyone gets cheered? Martina used to get cheered then, it means nothing. Getting a standing ovation when you come on is completely different.

People were getting on Lookmans back the same way people were getting on most of the players back. It was a frustrating game and the fans were frustrated.

Tom get absolute abuse no matter what. If you think you can compare the stick the two of them got yesterday you either weren't there or you must be deaf lol

Attacking substitutions are usually greeted well when we need a goal though, and people probably thought making him feel welcome would help if he’s wanting away.

I just think people are making a mountain out of a molehill with stuff like this. Davies doesn’t get stick ‘no matter what’ and to suggest he does is laughable. He gets stick because people don’t think he’s contributing enough, same as anyone else - you even just used an example in Martina who tried but wasn’t good enough. Exactkyvthe same principle.

He’s had no pre-season game time except the Farmers XI we beat. I will afford him the same time as Bernard, Mina and the like and judge him after he’s had enough minutes to get sharp.
