villarule123 Posted August 1 VT Supporter Share Posted August 1 I don't know why people are so negative about this signing. He is a backup player, the only way he'll be starting games is if he plays out of his skin when he does get an opportunity or if we are strickened by injuries.

ozvilla28 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Nothing more then a backup if he's starting regularly we're in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lainux Posted August 1 Popular Post Share Posted August 1 He can't play out from the back with pressure on the ball which is key to our play. Luiz was the best at that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 It's what pre season is all about I guess. Gonna be really interesting to see how we plan to play this season because this new midfield is gonna be badly exposed if we try to play the press inviting, ball retention style we did with Kamara and Luiz. It's gonna get better, not sure it's gonna get good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, but as I recall, he's one of those players who needs to play to improve, i.e. to work up his match fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone noted from last week that he's been pre appointed as this seasons scapegoat. Positives: Olsen will be delighted! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 For those criticising him, Kamara made mistakes like that plenty of times last season too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Luiz did the first 6 months under Emery. Brighton away a classic example. One mistake in a friendly doesn't mean he can't play out from the back, he was integral in doing that for Luton last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like it was a bit of a hospital pass from Olsen to him too. We play differently to Luton, plus there are a lot of new teammates for him to get used to and understand. Things have changed a lot since he was last here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I'm a little bit sceptical of the signing. He was a big fish in a small pond at Luton and maybe that was his level. Apart from. A great debut against Liverpool and one or two other games the loan spell failed. Have to wait.and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t honestly get the negativity after another friendly. It’s not just Ross either. Baffling really. It’s all about getting minutes and adjusting to Unai’s coaching. Mistakes happen to everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I thought his strength on the ball was one of the reasons we signed him. But it's one friendly game so not going to judge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz was the best at that. was he though? Seem to recall him and Kamara getting caught in possession and giving away penalties on recovering tackles a lot, McGinn aswell I think when he played deeper. we got better at beating the press, but still had lapses - having Torres to come forward to create space was key, or Luiz etc having someone coming deeper to take the ball was key. Rather than everyone just wandering up field which has been what the friendlies have been like. Barkley does look rusty, but will reserve judgement till we actually start our best team - as our selections have been pretty all over the place in these friendlies - as - they are friendlies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
