NewquayFox Posted 28 November 2021 Share Posted 28 November 2021 34 minutes ago, Scotch said: It's not picking on him to point out that he's been poor. He has. I have no doubt that he will eventually settle and find his role in this team and that it's far too early to write him off but he has not been good enough. Simple as that. Ndidi DID give away another daft penalty, no one is defending that but Wilf has also shown what he brings to this side, Bouba thus far has not. He always seems a step behind and chasing the game defensively yet doesn't appear to add anything offensively either. Like I said, I have every faith that he will come good eventually but let's not dismiss any RIGHTFULL criticism as "picking on him" when it is nothing more than calling it as it is. Soumare will turn out brilliant, Tielemans didn’t exactly set the world on fire when he finally signed up for us, got to give European players time to adapt… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is arguing otherwise but that doesn't change the fact that up untill now he has been poor. Claiming that folk are picking on him for criticising that I'd silly no matter how good he turns out. I think he needs some time out the team to settle at the club and work out what his tile is going to be because he doesn't seem to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox1970 Posted 28 November 2021 Share Posted 28 November 2021 He seems slow and lumbering, and his work rate is poor too. I really don't know what he adds to the team and he just seems to upset Ndidi when they're together. And my recollection is that Tielemans impressed from his very first game. Soumare looks like a Junior Lewis on steroids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Vardy Posted 28 November 2021 Share Posted 28 November 2021 From memory to Soumare’s previous club won the French league, Junior Lewis went to Gillingham…..I can see where you are coming from 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 28 November 2021 Share Posted 28 November 2021 Thought his game was fine today. No glaring issues and better than some of his other performances so far. Clearly still trying to settle in with the club. Not even been here 6 months but he's doing alright. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see what he does wrong, watch him when he doesn't have the ball. Often ambles around the pitch in positions that are not affecting the game in a positive way, let's opposition players run by him constantly, then when he reacts he doesn't exactly break his neck trying to get back to make a tackle or a block on the guy he has just let waltz by him. Whether its the speed of the game over here compared to in France, I'm not sure, but he certainly needs to start adopting quickly if it is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Shire Fox Posted 28 November 2021 Share Posted 28 November 2021 (edited) Really dont know what he offers, just reminds me of Moussa Sissoko. Quite skillful but not particularly great going forward and pretty hopeless when it comes to tracking runners and defending. Just a spare part really atm. Im sure this season in the Prem will do him wonders and he’ll come back a better player next year though.

brookfox Posted 28 November 2021 Share Posted 28 November 2021 Slightly off topic but always thought Soumare was a bit of a unit. There was a bit today he was just stood next to Sissoko. He looked like an Action Man stood next to Arnie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1994fox Posted 28 November 2021 Share Posted 28 November 2021 Every time I’ve seen him he looks decent. Will take a bit of time for him to pick up the pace and physicality of the prem. Can see a lot of potential with the guy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 28 November 2021 Share Posted 28 November 2021 Everyone complaining about Soumare needs to only remember how poor our legendary signing was in his first season. Cut the guy some slack ffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive he could see those with the Junior Lewis comparison he made. Must be nearsighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkerfox Posted 28 November 2021 Share Posted 28 November 2021 Can someone explain to me what he actually does? What have people seen that’s impressed them? I’m not a footballing genius at all so from my rather simple viewpoint he doesn’t appear to attack, he doesn’t defend, he doesn’t slot balls through to the forwards, he just seems to pass the ball sideways whenever the ball comes his way and that’s it. Like he’s there to make up the numbers? I want him to do well, but I’m not sure what he actually does that he can do well in 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 28 November 2021 Share Posted 28 November 2021 There’s no problem with his ability, the problem is that he’s so fvcking lazy sometimes. Those saying they haven’t seen him do anything wrong, clearly don’t watch his lack of ability to track back, there was evidence of this in the first half today, Watford had so much space on numerous occasions, because Soumare and Ndidi were nowhere to be seen. As I’ve mentioned before, his defensive stats for Lille were pretty much non existent, low average in both tackling and intercepting, Benjamin Andre did all that work for Lille, as does Ndidi with us. I’m not sure he is the type of player that works in a two, when it comes to Premier League football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted 28 November 2021 Share Posted 28 November 2021 (edited) I don’t think he has a sprint in his locker and my biggest criticism of him is that he just ambles back when he / we lose possession and the opposition counter attack. That said, I thought he had a decent game today. Edited 28 November 2021 by Mike Oxlong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 28 November 2021 Share Posted 28 November 2021 Just like when we play 5 at the back, playing Soumare and Ndidi together you'd think we'd be more solid but if anything it's the opposite. They just don't work together and so we are less creative and also less secure at protecting our defence. Its a bad mix right now and a fair chunk of why we are allowing the opposition so many chances on goal. He was atrocious again today, he's getting worse. I thought prior to the most recent international break he'd shown some good patches of play with a few mistakes but since Tielemans has been out and he's in with Ndidi, just horrible. Ndidi just as bad by the way, both need to get their fingers out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
