2021/22 Niels Nkounkou

[MercuryBlue88]

Would use him as asub on the wing tbh, I know we are over stocked on left wingers, but as a left footed winger running with pace he could be effective

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

We looked much better at the back once Digne came on!

 

[Zatara]

Is he a left back? He looked more like a winger last night. Got in some good attacking positions, just let down by his finishing.

Looked like he'd be best as a winger to me as well.

Thought there were good points and less so good points to his game last night

Happy for him to get more chances due to the good bits though

….agree, it was amazing what a difference a cool head with outstanding ability to keep possession made. We reverted to a flat back four which also helped but Digne was terrific when he came on.

Yes, but he went into central midfield we had ten men....

 

[blueconverse]

I know he can be coached on his defensive skills but you cant teach pace and this lad has it. Would deffo use him as a sub on the wing and just tell him to run at tired defenders and throw balls in.

That run for Keans onside goal was fantastic.

 

[Terrarian]

I think he's exciting but it's obviously too soon for him. A loan with minutes to a lower Championship team or League 1 would be a decent start.

He's our back up, if we loan him, we don't have anyone unless we play out of position and as good as Godfrey did, I want him to nail a place in his preferred position.

Moyes used Coleman on the wing until he felt he could trust him at RB. Maybe the same with Niels?

 

[gonetomorrow]

He's a wingback and a good prospect.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

He's a winger more than a defender. His pace is frightening.

 

[PickeringBlue]

Last night he looked "raw". He seems the type of player that you could easily make an impressive YouTube vid of without him actually doing anything truly impressive. The type of player who could come good, but the type that could continually flatter to deceive. Thought he looked really good at the beginning of last year in pre-season, but for me last night showed why he hasn't really featured...hopefully he can kick on.

 

[Johnblue21]

He is a winger, not a defender, I think he is much more comfortable attacking, driving with the ball, that's where we should focus his development, we have committed to him and lost one of the UK's hottest prospects in Thierry small - so we need this to work

Moyes used Coleman on the wing until Phil fn Neville could barely stand up. He moved him there out of necessity, not because he thought it was time.
