Yeah i was surprised he didn't bring Raul on, he felt Moutinho was a sure penalty scorer too presumably and could only make 1 more change.Moving away but staying slightly on the same subject Nuno brought Regulon on as a spot kick taker, pretty sure we should have done the same with Raul instead of the Podence - Moutinho sub.
It's not a view I agree with on Adama as you well know, but thank you for explaining.It just seems to me that people seem to be fixated on the Adama ‘problem’ which would constitute an agenda, which is what it appears, whether I’m right or wrong only the people writing their post will know.
I don’t think many of those players you mentioned has exceptionally long careers with us, especially holt, but we will leave that as that’s not the main discussion.
to answer your points
this season, Adama’s end contribution, like the majority of our players has been bugger all, hence why we have won 1 in 5 in the league. He should’ve scored vs leicester being a glaring example, however the general consensus on the forum seems to be (untill Brentford atleast) that things were postive, we were creating chances, playing good football. Adama, starting each game must surely be part of that?
i like how direct he is. I like his pace and power and ability to beat a man. Equally, I hate his end product at times and decision making. I just don’t buy into the ‘hes useless, get rid’ if he had consistent end product, he wouldn’t be playing for wolves.
from what I’ve seen, teams double up on him. Doubling up will mean there is additional spaces on the pitch. Now, I’m not saying for a second that hwang and Podence wouldn’t be able to play without him, but by teams doubling up on Adama that will leave space elsewhere. Whether that frees up Podence, hwang, dendonker, semedo etc it just opens up other space. Good example is someone else said bringing on a traffic cone would have more impact than Silva last night.
the agenda part is traore has no where near been our worst player, or a problem IMO. I don’t see the same level of discontent aimed at, say Raul, trincao, semedo, Coady etc. Just feels traore, because he is more explosive and noticeable gets really flack
And yet we have countless examples of professional footballers missing penalties. Even ones whose skills are more suited to taking penalties than Coady & Donk.Yes it is!
You'd expect a professional footballer to hit a barn door. I mean seriously!
This is their job I don't think they take it seriously at all.
I understand he's trying keep it high and hard but not hitting the target is shite. Neves should be fined! A couple of yards away from hitting that big target. Dendonler was just a shite pen, far too near the centre.
I've said this loads of times in the past but Hibbit used to put a little post in the ground 18" inside the post for 20 mins at the end of every training session. So if called upon in a match, he just slotted it inside the post. What is so fucking difficult?
Its not me or me I promise!PPS - Who the fuck is this dude CARALHO...
Dunno but he seems like a right sausagePPS - Who the fuck is this dude CARALHO...
Hopefully a centre half signing in JanuaryPogo's evil twin
I was alluding to them as I was basing it on this year and feel Adama is taking the blunt of the blame for our current shortcomings, so was just listing players In allIt's not a view I agree with on Adama as you well know, but thank you for explaining.
I don't see an explosive player, I see a wasteful, frustrating player contributing nothing to us at the moment and it's on Lage not to pick him or suffer looking at the same frustrating thing game after game. Dribbling past players and then not doing anything with it has always turned me off a player. I just don't see the point in watching them.
I think we're a better team without him starting but I can see him as an impact sub, but not on the right wing as his crossing is dreadful.
I'd much prefer to see fluid movement off the ball where defenders can't see the players they're supposed to be tracking. Klopp's Liverpool and City when they're not going all turgid have great dribblers but it's rarely about them, more the movement they have on and off the ball.
I'm not sure why you've listed Semedo or Trincao as one has really picked up and the other has been here 10 minutes.
Coady, Raul and others including Donk have had their fair share of praise and criticism on this board.

Would have helped adama but even so crosses from the byline are not well converted, one of the reasons most top clubs play with inverted wide players is because the delivery angle is better and there's shooting opportunities added to that.I guess this is why we were after Kieffer Moore
