Because he's a terrible footballer. It's like putting Usain Bolt on the wing. Yes, nobody will catch him, but they don't need to. Just let him get to the point where he needs to do something with the ball and he will waste it. That's exactly what we did from about minute 20 yesterday. He gets the average fan excited but it's not at all dangerous to the team.
Yes but no one was comparing his dribbling abillities. Adamas dribbling also primarily consists of "change angle, run really fast", which isn't untalented by any means, but he's not Neymar
Because he's a huge unit, guessing around 170-180lbs, runs really fast and twists and turns a lot, not sure how long your knees could handle that kind of weight doing that kind of movement.
There was absolutely no need for a first time finish. He should have been controlling that and picking his spot, the striker. In that situation that's as good a pass as you can expect. Any slower and its going to get intercepted with ease.
He'd be the perfect super sub. Definitely can't play full 90s every week for his entire career.
Probably not, but next time he's in that situation it will need a first time finish. It's not going to happen when you strike the ball as badly as that on the pass.
Keep your fantasies to yourself.
I think it's harsh to blame him for not making a perfect pass in that instance. The pass wasn't even deflected and the striker just needed to beat the keeper. Traore did very little wrong.
He wasn't compared to Neymar, but he does regularly use close control dribbling to get past defenders. Daniel James not so much.
Depends a lot on flexibility and balanced muscle strength. If he puts as much work into his hips, psoas, lower back and abs, ankles, glutes and hamstrings than he does biceps and stuff guy should be able to play till later. Hope he does yoga for his sake
Was he the one who had it when there was a wolves attacked completely alone in the center and the ball never made it?
True, I remember Gelson Fernandes playing for Everton against us with a broken shin bone or something years ago as his leg muscles were so strong he didn't notice.
Yeah but to be fair to be home I don't remember seeing a single over lap for him yesterday with a full back backing him up ( I didn't get to see the whole game). He seemed to beat us and could have had more attacking help.
Shaw is one of the very few players who can match him for power while also not being too much slower. I remember in one of the games last season they ran into each other a few times and I'm fairly certain Shaw came out on top each time. AWB has the pace but not the power, plus he relies so much on his (fantastic) diving tackles that it's actually quite dangerous against somebody with the brilliant close control and touch of Adama.
I wasn't clear- what I meant was Varane - AWB is quicker than Shaw - Maguire combo. You overload that side with Semedo, you have a chance to outpace that side.
First signing when Brazzers becomes our official porn partner
Completely agree. He never really worries me much at all, despite the fact he can carve big holes in the team. He just never seems to do anything with it at all. He has had people to feed in the box (Jiminez I think is decent, obviously was out for most of last season) and I just don't see it at all.
Adama was fantastic the year before last when Jimenez was fit and firing. I think the comments about him needing a good number 9 are correct, just like prime Valencia needed Rooney to feed.
I really want him at Spurs. If he could score himself that would be a bonus but as long as he runs past everyone before giving the ball to Kane or Son then happy days.
Agreed, I think yours would be a team where he could fit in well.
Apparently he's only 160lbs @ 5'10. My brain does not compute
There is simply no way he’s 160 lbs. he’s at least 190-200.I'd want him just for the yearly shirt unveilings.
