When he dived for the penalty (cunt) he was playing centrally iircwhen this guy tore us a new arse last season, was he playing wide or central. I'm struggling to understand where this guys best position is, not sure Poch knows either.
actually forgot about that one - was thinking of the home game. Seems like he really turned up for the games against us. He either wanted a move to the Lane or he's a filthy goonerWhen he dived for the penalty (cunt) he was playing centrally iirc
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I wonder if it'd have been smarter to play him alongside Dembele in the 2 CM roles. We were probably overly defensive, and Sissoko could have ran at their defence constantly.Said it before but has to play centrally for me, doesn't suit his game at all being out wide. Players can show him one way or the other and see what is coming - he doesn't have the delivery to threat out wide and can't cut in and shoot.
Best bet is to use him centrally where he can dribble both ways, or straight at the defence, with options to dump off. His physicality and defensive ability is also beneficial through the middle. Makes too much sense not to have him there.
He should not take minutes from Winks, who actually has a future at the club.Said it before but has to play centrally for me, doesn't suit his game at all being out wide.

Shite.
He was tonight but let's judge him next season after Poch has worked with him properly
I still believe he's best out right but why not play him centrally?
Is this the thread where we ignore the dozen other shite players and use one as a scapegoat?
Fuck off Foxboro you really are a massive cunt. If you had been included in the Sol Campbell award, you'd have won at a canter. Stick to Yank football you fucking cunt satchel.
Haha, sort of. The others were all crap tonight as well but this guy just NEVER performs, for whatever reason. A baffling signing (particularly for that money, and particularly as we must have been VERY keen to nick him off Everton at the last minute.
Now you're being boring. The others don't play like shit every week.Is this the thread where we ignore the dozen other shite players and use one as a scapegoat?
I don't disagree, I was massively against it happening.
However.... it just seems like we play him in a way that makes him look worse than he is. We know he's not shite, as he generally played well for Newcastle (often being their stand-out player) and France.
