2017/18 Ademola Lookman

[Prevenger17]

Yes, playing too offensively for our own good apparently. Time to get more defensive before we get relegated...

I have to say, that is quite terrifying

 

[evertonarntwe]

I like him, think he's very classy. but he wasn't playing much when bolasie was injured and before we signed Walcott so I'd try and get him a loan at a top flight club, he needs games

 

[joe5494]

I wouldn't be surprised if he jumped ship, especially now Walcott has come in

 

[Nyhus]

We should loan him out for a couple of seasons. Too many holes in his game, he shouldnt have to learn his trade in front of our hostile supporters.

Do not agree with that, if we had a decent LB like when Baines was in his prime I could see Lookman becoming a second Pienaar! Now that would be a good do.

Ya. You could see that. One could imagine him linking up well with a decent left back.

 

[LydiateLee]

Infinitely better than Bolasie. Should be getting more minutes, decisions I think we will live to regret.

How is that? Both are small players, but i dont see the comparison beyond that. Pienaar was able to protect the ball in spite of his size, Lookman looses it if you look at him crooked. Pienaar also had great vision and a much better pass than Lookman. Ade is still young, but if he is to improve he needs to play, and bar a few good runs and a goal against a City side which had already leaked 3, he’s showed nothing to imply he’s good enough to start any games for us. He’s a big liability in an already leaky team, playing him would be madness. I understand why people want us to buy and evolve young players, but using someone soley based on potential is just not a good move for us as a club. A loan move to the championships would be a lot better for him and us.

Understand all that but look in those games who was the LB.

 

[Ebbo]

Any left back will look exposed if Lookman is in front of him, as he gives them absolutely no support at all.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Simply no reason why Bolasie has waltzed straight back in the team ahead of Lookman and Vlasic he should have to earn back his place

 

[Nyhus]

I hear ya, but its not fair to blame just Martina. Lookman doesnt do nearly enough to help him out when defending, which is a pretty big part of any PL-wingers job - specially in a struggeling team like ours.

 

[ToffeeTim]

He needs to learn how to use his body better and he needs to realise he's in a team and has to help his fullback.

going to be hard to help the full backs sitting on the bench

 

[PITA]

If you were a RS you would be demanding a trophy for that.
