Soumare, he makes me happy

[Agreasychipbutty]

That performance did not make me happy...

Don't want to scape goat him as it was an understandably poor performance overall with so many changes and players being dropped in it a bit.

But for me he stood out as looking really out of his depth, I really can't work him out. He's definitely athletic but at times he looks so uncoordinated (see the OG). At times he looks sharp and wins balls but will often give it straight back and positionally seems all over the place. There's a player in there but he needs game time, think he could benefit from a loan in Jan and get someone more dependable in as backup for DM.

Looks to me like his feet are attached to the wrong legs.

Granted he looked awful until Matos came on. Next to him he looked like peak Patrick Vieira!!

He's already on loan - to us.

The biggest difference between him and Riederwald is decision making and speed of thought. There is probably a player in there , but he's a work in progress for sure

He’s not even our player why keep wasting it 10 million no way

Matos is worse and that’s saying something

 

[Agreasychipbutty]

Oh yes it's only an obligation to buy if we're promoted, in that case I can't see much point keeping him around. He's not up to this level yet, no point persevering with a player just to develop him for someone else.

 

[bakeblade]

And he is our player!!

 

[TJ blade]

Hes awful! So is Matos, very poor recruitment in the Summer.

No option to send him back, so we've got him for the season

 

[Rodders]

Don’t blame it on the sunshine
Don’t blame it on the moonlight
Don’t blame it on the good times
Blame it on Soumare
He just can’t, he just can’t he just can’t control his feet


… But he’s better than Matos

That was in my mind too. Given the similarly to the Traore OG that originated the chant

 

[Sheffsteel]

Regards the own goal….all he needed to do as clear it with his left foot…but he choose the right…got his legs tangled up kicking it into his own net.
It’s amazing how so many pro footballers can’t use their other foot…what do they do in training?

 

[coolasanidiot]

The reason Soumare and Matos haven't been starting is Wilder knows they are bobbar and not to be trusted. The flu bug forced his hand and he literally had no other options.

Of the two Soumare is slightly better, but both shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11. It made for horrendous viewing and the own goal was a shocker.

Glad to have got out of ground with a point, even though Norwich for me were a poor team.

 

[Stretch]

That was a poor performance by him tonight, but the whole team was disjointed and clumsy.

He has been better than this when he has played previously.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

A player that makes everyone around him look worse. Similar to Jack Robinson.
Walking red card, totally unpredictable and has no football brain.

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Only way he’d be a useful player is a situation where you’re leading and happy for the opposition to have the ball and you bring Soumare on for the legs and to destroy the oppositions play.

Could be very useful against prem teams in a cup run. But in the league he just doesn’t give the team any sort of platform from which to control the game and the team just can’t get into any sort of flow or rhythm.

If I was one of the other players I wouldn’t want to pass to him tbh

 

[Deadbat]

Reminded me of Coulibaly.

There is no way he should be considered as a permanent signing. Not got a football brain - postionallly poor and technically he is very limited. Should be a good athlete and physical but not sure we see that.

He was awful tonight and I felt he has been like that in many games other than maybe a couple of games he did ok earlier in the season.

Nowhere near good enough. Another dreadful scout spot.

 

[Cappy]

Reminded me of Coulibaly.

I said that to my lad in the car on the way home, and he said, "that's what I was thinking, but at least he's not killing the 29 shirt". Not good at all. However, the reality is he tries 100% and I guess he can't help his quality level. He's not for me though. Such a shame we can't send him back

 

[The Vicar]

Spot on. Matos was dreadful, he is tiny with no physical strength, can’t pass and looks like a liability. How on earth he got a Chelsea contract?????

Due to his size and the time of the year, I wonder if he might get a contract in a pantomime, as one of Snow White’s little friends.

To be fair, about 20% of the UK’s population plays for Chelsea.

The "shot" he absolutely fluffed from a good position in the second half was appalling - and not the first time he's done this. Did they just search "lany footballers who tackle a bit" when trying to find a replacement for vinny?

He seems to have appalling positional since, so I'm not sure he'd be any good in that situation either.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

There are times when he looks like a player and other times where he looks like a competition winner who doesn't actually know what football is. Often in the same minute.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Soumaré was so far behind the play last night and he's got such a S-L-O-W reaction time... it's like he was playing on a dodgy buffering livestream of the game!

 

[PokerBlade]

Can we give him any benefit of the doubt that some of those lads were probably playing ill last night? He was really poor.

 

[GeorgeDonis1889]

I want him to do well but don't think he's up to it. Looks lost most of the time. He's had 1 decent game and a decent sub appearance, the rest of the time he's been pretty poor. Another complete punt of a signing which looks to not have worked out at all.
