Soumare, he makes me happy

[HighfieldBlade]

Mashallah, Soumaré played well tonight. Keep it going, bro

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

I thought he was great, gets proper stuck in, a ball winner. He did give the ball away first half which led to a chance for Blackburn & some choice words from Tanganga. But he's young & learning like Peck - it's to be expected.

 

[Gysbrechts_tash]

I like him too. Got a red card in him but he's got bite, never shirks, pretty composed on the ball too. Wilder likes him too which is a good sign.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Shoutbox was particularly sh1t tonight, first time I've used the ignore function I think. That Anston geezer in particular, jeez!

He’s already on ignore so I don’t see his shoutbox crap!

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Soumare oh oh o oh..... he has legs as long as horse...Soumare oh oh o oh if you dont shift he'll kick you up the arse.....Soumare oh oh o oh

Tune Volare.

 

[Blade45]

Great player.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

To date he's looked like he's finding where he fits but he really stepped up last night.

 

[Harry's Game]

Very raw but he can break up play and when he gets the ball he looks to make a progressive move with it which puts him in front of others like Matos for the role.

..one thing he needs to be careful with is his style of tackling as he goes in with a sort of short studs showing stamp, which last night he did a couple of times but fortunately met the ball cleanly each time.. however one miss timed challenge like that which catches the man and it’s likely in this day and age it’s a red card if the opponent make the most of it.

 

[Rodley]

Thought Djiblet looked good second half. I’m still a bit nervous about his tracking and positioning and when he gets knackered he falls off a cliff. Problem is when he gets up to speed after a full season he is someone else’s player again.

It was horrible not going in there again during a game

Been hoping to get the Soumaré, Oh Oh to that tune going all season. Made for him!

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Don't get too invested he's most likely going back in the summer

Wonder if United will look to renegotiate the potential permanent transfer of the lad to us, in January?

Atm its basically a season long loan unless something very strange happens and we somehow win a play off final. So, cant see any harm in maybe trying to look at this again in detail in January with his parent club. Chances are the lad will want to stay at SUFC and develop his game rather than going back (provided he is still getting regular games and feels included in the group) and we could maybe negotiate a smaller permanent fee for him with the proviso that a few extra million get chucked their way if we go back to the PL during the next 3 years etc. Worth looking at.

Think the fee is £10m on promotion as an obligation. We just stumped up c.£4m for Matos and we have Arblaster coming back. I’d be surprised if we spend that much (or even half) with parachute payments running out next summer.

 

[Stretch]

I can say with total honesty that my SB contribution was to call him "pretty decent" in the 1st half.

By the end of the game, he was outstanding.

O'Hare was still MOTM though, by some distance.

He was also described as ‘Lg2 Souza’

Says all you need to know about Shoutbox

 

[AWetFlannel]

He was getting pelters in shoutbox in the first half despite being one of the only players to put a tackle in.

I wasn't in shoutbox, but thought he was our worst player 1st half. Improved in the second and did well for the goal.

 

[BalticBlade]

His tackles are strange, but with those telescopic legs they're effective.
His attitude seems really good as well. I really like him.
But, what's the song?

 

[Blackheath Blade]

I wasn't in shoutbox, but thought he was our worst player 1st half. Improved in the second and did well for the goal.

Our worst player first half? Really? Surely it was Cannon?

 

[AWetFlannel]

Our worst player first half? Really? Surely it was Cannon?

He gave the ball away multiple times when not under pressure, handing Blackburn a few counter attacking opportunities.

Cannon, like Ings was anonymous. He's supposed to be a goalscorer like Sharp and Haaland, doesn't have many touches and doesn't get involved much in general play, but gets goals. Needs someone to create for him and to play himself out of this rotten form.

 

[Balham]

That Matos figure must include add-ons. Chelsea only got £1.5m up front for Gilchrist who had a much higher season last time out, as well as a better academy pedigree (Chelsea from 8-21 rather than Matos' Luton (to 12) to Norwich (12-18) to Chelsea (18-20). We've also only given Matos a 3 year contract which is at odds with a big investment in a young player - better to amortise over a longer period if there's an expected drop in revenue.

Soumaré's obligation is €8.5m on promotion (link in Portuguese), so £7m-ish.

Our worst player first half? Really? Surely it was Cannon?

Cannon doesn't qualify as a player.

[Slim Man]

As said a few times, I simply don't understand why he wasn't playing earlier this season.

He's got all the tools.

And some questionable training ground tackles.

 

[Black Cloud]

So much of an upgrade on Peck, and I really like Sydie, maybe they can bring the best out of each other….? We must play him as first choice CM

 

[Pedro Verde]

Soumare wasnt our worst player first half. That was Cannon by a country mile. I think you will find Cannon gave the ball away for Blackburns goal

Cannon, like Ings was anonymous.

Ings needs to be played upfront

He's supposed to be a goalscorer like Sharp and Haaland, doesn't have many touches and doesn't get involved much in general play, but gets goals.

Can you please tell what goals he gets. He should get involved in general play. Every player on the pitch should get involved in general play FFS

Needs someone to create for him and to play himself out of this rotten form.

So its the midfield wingers fault they dont create for him. There is no way Cannon would have scored that 3rd goal, excellent cross from Burrows and Campbell made sure he got on the end of it . Cannon would have been stood on the penalty spot

 

[Nedski]

And some questionable training ground tackles.

It was good to see Peck celebrating with him and making a big deal about his first goal considering the rumoured punch up between them!

 

[AWetFlannel]

A player can give the ball away five times and get away with, or they can give it away once and be punished. We disagree, I thought Soumare was worst first half.

Ings needs to be played upfront

I agree.

Can you please tell what goals he gets. He should get involved in general play. Every player on the pitch should get involved in general play FFS

Plenty for Stoke, Preston and even Leicester given his minutes. Haaland doesn't get involved in general play, he has, by far, the least touches in Man City's team. Every pundit says the same; "you don't want him getting involved with general play, you want him in the box, on the end of things."

So its the midfield wingers fault they dont create for him. There is no way Cannon would have scored that 3rd goal, excellent cross from Burrows and Campbell made sure he got on the end of it . Cannon would have been stood on the penalty spot

It's not the midfielders' fault that he hasn't played very well for us, no. It's their fault when they don't play well themselves though, yes.
