Johnnyp Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We need to manage him properly. That's key. Not playing him too much in the 23s which he's clearly too good for. He should be getting 20 minutes every game or so with the seniors when snodgrass and adomah start to feel it a bit. Annoys me to this day how we handled steven davis when we had him. We need to learn from that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise that's not the popular consensus but I'm sure I'm right. Not for everything for me. I think Adomah is a much better finisher than Green Edited January 23, 2018 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Whether we think Green is fundamentally better than Adomah or not he'll have to work hard to fill his shoes this season considering how good Adomah has been for us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt he missed a couple of easy chances for the big club, he can also hit them from just about anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted January 23, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2018 Doesnt really matter who is the best out of the 2 of them, more that we are getting someone who can share the responsibility now for the rest of the season! Id say resting Albert will pay dividends as the season ramps up, the same for snodgrass too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Adomah and Snodgrass can't play a full 90 so Green will get minutes. I just hope Bruce doesn't do what he always does and make a sub once it's past the 80th minute. We need subs around the 60-70 minute mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have handled O'Neill better and not let him ship out Davis and Cahill and spend a fortune replacing them with Knight and Reo Coker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Plenty of games coming up.. he will start a few to rest Snoddy/Adomah or if they run out of form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time, neither player was good enough to challenge top 4, which was the end goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we needed to try and sign players capable. It was too soon for both cahill and davis to be playing regular football for a team chasing champions league spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted January 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2018 I can't get on board with the idea that Green is a better player than Adomah. The latter's goals have won several matches this season, including his penalties, of which he has been - not trying to jinx it - an ice-cold taker so far. Green may well have a higher ceiling (in fact, given their respective ages, he almost certainly does). But right now, Adomah is a better player, and I'm primarily concerned with right now. Green will be an excellent asset off the bench, running at tired legs. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Green is a better footballer in terms of ability on the ball and general play but in terms of impact on games Albert has been priceless for us this season.

Guest av1 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Green may well have a higher ceiling, but I've seen nothing at all yet that makes me think he should start ahead of Adomah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Think he will end up swapping with Elmohamady and Axel swapping with BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roonst83 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Don't rate Green at all. Severely lacks any end product. Good to have him as an option to support the squad (Snoddy and Adomah) but I've not seen anything to suggest he should be in the starting XI.
