Anderson is world class at attacking the space. And burgers.James has world class pace.

Maybe we have different views on what technique is but Traore’s is awful. He’s an outstanding dribbler but when he actually needs good technique i.e for a pass or cross he usually fluffs it.He’s a beast with unbelievable technique, think he would be great as a SAF winger in the shape of Valencia.
It’s a wonderful paradox. Must be a nightmare being a supporter of Wolves.He got less scary as the game went on. I’ve never seen a player look so threatening and yet so useless at the same time.
His technique is what let him down so bad and that is why he had 2 goals and 3 assist in his last 40 PL games. He has the power and speed to blast past players, but that is about it.He’s a beast with unbelievable technique, think he would be great as a SAF winger in the shape of Valencia.
You contradict yourself by saying he has no inherent end product but then say that he would magically get it if he played for the big teams? If he can't do it for Wolves, who had Jota and a pre-injury Jimenez who were no slouches up front, then how can he do it for any big team?If this guy had end product he's literally playing for any club he wants in the world, that good , terrifying in those first 25 mins
I do feel though stats don't do this guy justice, his end product in terms of shots etc and scoring goals might never improve but put him in a team like City, United, Pool , Chelsea etc and his assists would be very high, he should have had a few assists today easily.
I'd be very intrigued to see him at a top team, I' would swap James for him in a heartbeat , I actually think he'd do very well here as a squad player
Maybe he's using those resistance bands. Either way you won't build muscles without straining them regularly with some form of resistance be it weights or bands.He claims not to lift any weights at all. I’m no expert but that seems…questionable.
Well, the problem is at City,Chelsea, United or Pool he would never get this space behind. Means, you will have the ball but you just won't know what to do with it.If this guy had end product he's literally playing for any club he wants in the world, that good , terrifying in those first 25 mins

Yeah he uses resistance bands and some other methods, but not dumbbells and weights you see in the gym of course.Maybe he's using those resistance bands. Either way you won't build muscles without straining them regularly with some form of resistance be it weights or bands.
Can’t agree enough with this, there’s always this notion that he’s just a Dan James on steroid but he has got so much more to his game even though there’s usually no end product.I hope today was enough to put to bed that ridiculous notion that Adama is just a strong Dan James.
Has his flaws but is a vastly superior player.
If both him and James are one-trick ponies of the same trick, then the difference is that Traore can at least do that one trick well. James can’t. He’s really a no-trick pony.He’d be another player the caf would hate after watching him for any longer than about 3 games. Only good with space to run into, no end product, not great technically. Most want James sold yet would be happy to spend the money on another kick and rush merchant.
His particular skill set is like Liam Neeson in Taken but instead of killing people he just finds them and tells them about it.Spurs (or any other big side) would be crackers to go near him. He’s obviously got a very particular skill set but I’ve yet to see much evidence that those skills materially affect the winning of football matches.
Put a goal on a plate today but his teammate fluffed an open shot on goal. Wouldn’t call that no end product.Is this guy a lot of huff and puff?
Works hard, looks good, not much end product.

That's really not his fault. I've previously made the point that Traore is really unique in that he creates a lot more than the stats show but his teammates let him down.Is this guy a lot of huff and puff?

Well, so far, it's obviously his lack of end product.I mean at the very least, this is the guy a big club should have in the squad if not starting.
Imagine a tight game defending a one-goal lead in the last 20 minutes, and you throw on Adama Traore. He would effectively pin back their backline or cause them to be severely exposed each time they tried to attack.
He can also play wingback to good effect. What's not to like?
How would Klopp or any manager turn a 25 year old like him who has no end product into a productive player? He's not some kid.If he had an end product he'd be one of the world's best footballers.
Klopp would probably turn him into a scary player.
His duration is 30/50 mins, then he goes in a energy save modeHe absolutely annihilated us for the first 30 minutes and then I don’t really remember him doing anything significant after. He’d be an amazing substitute for a top side but not a starter
He's a better DM than Matic?I'd sign him in a heartbeat. He's better than james, mata, matic etc.
Baffling postHe's a better DM than Matic?
