Soumare & Chong

[Moose Splitter]

Soumare will come good

Absolutely abysmal. Dog shit.

 

[Blade 1971]

Soumare playing very well tonight. It may all go to shit in the second half but he's got the raw ability to be a really good player.

Very, very good today.

Soumare will come good

He may well do, but he won’t be our player when he does.

 

[Titch1889]

Hes only 22. If he can play like tonight, id snap him up. Hes far better today than Arblaster is at the moment.

Thought we had an option to buy, if we are looking at future investments he's the man its a no brainer

No idea what Chong was up to tonight. He was put on in place of Brooks, a downgrade in my eyes, and should have gone man-to-man on Lawal but gave him so much space when we went 5-4-1 and he ended up out on the left side.

Soumare is too inconsistent for me. As soon as Arblaster finds his game again and if we keep hold of Peck, that is the two we need in the middle of the park.

What the hell is wrong with the squad's fitness too? The only player who looked like he had legs on him post 80 minutes was O'Hare. Everyone else looked shattered.

It's not an option it's an obligation, but I imagine that's if we got promoted.

Seem to remember it being reported around 7/8 million, not sure we'll be in the position to pay that this summer tbh.

Waiting for Arblaster to find his feet again is wishful thinking.

Have to think the decision to play 30mins on an ACL tear is stupidity personified and he barely looks serviceable as a sub.

Can't run, can barely tackle....another day his giveaways get punished.

Yeah, I like Soumare and he showed a lot of talent at times tonite, but given we are a little lightweight it always feels like a risk. The chance of him playing a visionary through ball to set up a goal, does not seem more likely than him giving away the ball and setting up the opposition for the counter attack. But, I like that Wilder seems to be backing him, he did not seem to be his 'type'. Still I would like to see another solid and energetic midfielder bought in the January window. Chong is a interesting one, what I remember of him, was a few years back getting MoM against us, while on loan at Birmingham, playing as a box-to-box left sided midfielder, seemed to be able to do a bit of everything that day. Seems another player, who looks like he fluctuates with confidence. I definately dont seem he as displacing Brooks at present.

We're still lacking a midfield 'unit', which last season we had (in some matches) with Souza. Peck is a grafter but lacks direction and is like Norwood without the fancy-pants long ball talent, Matos looks way beneath what we need, Soumare is fragile and inconsistent despite showing us some promise, Davies could be something if he were not made from breadsticks, and that just leaves Riedewald who seems to be still finding his place. The ability to control midfield is more than 50% of the modern game both in and out of possession and we seem to be able to do neither, which is a shame.

Soumare has the potential to be a really good player, but he must cut out his terrible habit of trying his tricks and subsequently sometimes giving the ball away in the wrong areas of the park

joe rothwell could well be that man soumare showed some nice touches tonight but also gave the ball away too often as did brooks him chong and ogbene are much of a muchness none of them good enough we need.better on that right hand side

 

[Bladey_blade]

Thought soumare looked like pogba first half, had a bit of everything. Chong on the other hand, positioning/work rate poor

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Chong is dire.

Soumare it’s like I’ve just read on twitter - one week he looks like Patrick Veira the next Patrick Starfish
