st albans fox Posted 25 September 2021 Share Posted 25 September 2021 Promising …. Not sure if he looked a bit laboured getting back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basildon Fox Posted 26 September 2021 Share Posted 26 September 2021 You can see he has ability but seems to be doing it in treacle. He is too slow at the moment for me in both running at people and releasing the ball. Hopefully this will improve the more he plays in the Prem.

eblair Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 Don’t get him, can’t see how he’ll ever fit into our team under Brendan Don’t want to right him off completely, but this his style of breaking lines through ball carrying is not very us atm. And being asked to play the way he is, he looks horrendous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soar Fox Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 What’s his game supposed to be? Box to box midfielder, a ball winning midfielder, a playmaker who can pick a pass? Genuinely not sure what his role in the starting 11 is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 You can't judge Soumare yet. A player of his type and experience isn't going to slot straight in. He's shown signs of quality recently, but I have to admit tonight he was very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 He’s struggling to settle in that’s for sure. He looks a bit like he doesn’t really know what his job is at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kopfkino Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 Absolutely no idea why people jump to judge players like this so quickly. Vestergaard I get, he’s shit and we’ve seen that he’s shit for 3 years in the PL now. I get you have to say over the top stupid things to get noticed on the internet, we all do it, but to say you can’t work out he’ll EVER get into our team at the age of 22 and after a handful of games is absolutely nuts.

Paninistickers Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 Let not dress it any other way. He was hideous tonight. Doesn't mean he won't come good, but tonight was a chastening night for him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystonFox Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 The other day he was the new Mahrez (defo saw that posted here) now he’s the new Mendy. **** me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean he won't come good, but tonight was a chastening night for him I don’t confess to watch much french football, from a 3:22 YouTube video, I think I worked out he played mostly as a centre mid in a 2? He just looks lost to me, in that 3 man midfield, so did KDH. Brendan just seems to be chucking different formations and players together and hoping something clicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steflcfc Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 I had never heard of him when he signed From what I have seen and read about his stats in Lille, he seems he isn’t a defensive midfielder like Ndidi. Isnt a goal scorer or has high assists in his career so far, like Maddison or Tielemans. So im struggling to see what he will add in CM at the min, unless we’re playing 4 5 1 with Barnes and Lookman on either wing and a lone striker. Is he just a central player who just keeps possession moving without really doing anything of note ala Mendy. Obviously it’s still early days, I’m unsure where he slots in our midfield, and I think that shown tonight as he didn’t really know where to be/run or what his role was 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystonFox Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 KDH was shocking tonight too. That pass out to Thomas on the left then he flapped his arms as if it was Luke’s fault. Absolute bobbins but is he getting pelters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harpendenfox Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 Soumare, at the moment, is just like Praet for the last two seasons. Not quite sure what’s expected of him thus we’re not seeing the best of him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say Soumare is getting pelters, more that people are just questioning what his role in the team is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some on here would say he’s worth £50m and he should have started for us every game last year including the fa cup final….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volpeazzurro Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 So Soumare played a vital role in the team that won the French league from PSG last year. Played quite a defensive role. Rodgers now tells him to change that, play a more box to box advanced role, try to get in the box and score. If he can do it, it will take time to adjust and we need to be patient as he's young and the Premiership is quite a different beast. Just a thought though, why try to convert a player who is proven at his job to a totally different role, why not just buy the right players in the first place? Praet too, why did he not shine, did Rodgers try and shoehorn him into an unfamiliar role without giving him time to adjust? In fairness to Perez, has Rodgers been asking him to fulfill an unfamiliar role because he was never going to be a right winger which is what we required. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 30 September 2021 Share Posted 30 September 2021 I've read a few explanations about him needing to get up to the pace of Premier League football. Well tonight wasn't a Premier League game and he still seemed well short of the requirement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
