Ademola Lookman

[pt15sbb]

Out of curiosity, as he isn't getting game time at the minuet, is he playing in the U/23s to keep his touch and fitness?

Nope, only first teamer doing rounds in U23 recently is Holgate

Staggered by that really.

Don't really see a reason why he's not playing, seems a solid player.

Clearly had a couple of games where he looked out of it and a little lost. KOeman just taking him out of the team to protect him really. Bags of talent, just need to get used to Prem and wade in.

Scores winner in the Derby as a late substitute for Mirallas!!

 

[JonS]

RonKoe rotates the players such that he allows them one or two below par games before dropping them but unless they are seriously bad he will always bring them back in again (witness Jags recently). Expect to see him used in the next game or two

 

[bluerobert]

Wonder if we will see him off the bench on Saturday

 

[streeky]

someone said he was homesick a few weeks back, not sure if it was a windup or what?

 

[Osamabindiesel]

He fades out of games too often for my liking, but he has a goal in him for sure. Looks likely to score every time he plays

Classic winger type player really, same as Kev or Del. If he ever becomes consistent in goals/assists he would be world class, but there's very few of them around. Only really Hazard springs to mind in the premier league.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I reckon he'll play some part in the derby myself, still a relative unknown quantity to them.

 

[marsh]

Not getting a look in recently. Shame

Aren't you basing that on like 3 games though?

I want as few of those players who have repeatedly bottled it in derby games to be in the team on Saturday. So hopefully we'll see Lookman, Schneiderlin, Williams, Gueye, Holgate, and Davies all fit and selected. That will still leave half a dozen 'derby bottlers' I suppose but just maybe the 'uninfected' will spark off a new energy and resilience amongst the old failures.
