Pretty much our entire squad lacks confidence right now and I feel like Soumaré is just scared shitless of losing the ball if he goes for one of his runs hence he just plays the safe passes. This….. I’ve hardly seen one of his lung busting drive forward runs so far, like he was doing in France. I understand these are different leagues but those brave enough, with a bit or arrogance go for it. As others have said, devoid of confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not getting on the ball as much as you would like, it would be best to up your workrate, playing yourself into the game and getting use to the colleagues around you.

Kinowe Soorie Posted 11 February 2022 Share Posted 11 February 2022 What is this guys strong point? What type of midfielder is he? He hit the woodwork with a good effort a while back, but haven’t seen anything else, of any note. He's being completely outshone, by an academy graduate.

Neither look like world beaters and yet both have plenty about them to suggest they'll go on to have great careers. Let's support both on that journey! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesta2014 Posted 11 February 2022 Share Posted 11 February 2022 Takes plenty of touches in that video too, you simply don’t get away with that many touches in the premier league as he’s finding out. I do think he has something about him, doesn’t look as mobile as in the video though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacreblueits442 Posted 11 February 2022 Share Posted 11 February 2022 ...can a lack of confidence do to Soumare, what we are witnessing right now!!! Everything about the show reel is positive and he wants to be involved and impose himself on the game. Then we see him play for us and you wonder how can there be so much of a difference. Was there not a situation where a player impersonated another play, and was not licensed to play the game professionally. You get the feeling that we are watching the same thing in action, because the two things we are seeing are miles apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does putting in a shift mean? To work hard I assume? how does that actually happen, do you think he says to himself “**** this I cannot be arsed today’ humans have to be motivated, and driven to do this plus in a life of a professional footballer have the fitness to do so. so if he’s not backtracking enough (I’m not disagreeing) then either his fitness isn’t up to the required level, if not why not is the question. If it’s more mindset, than again why not, still comes back in large parts to confidence. Players and elite level whilst been watched by thousands in the stadium and millions worldwide don’t just decide to play/be shit. There is usually a good reason and for me he is devoid of any confidence to get on the ball, drive forward, back track which at this level is glaring.

Hamilton Fox Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 I’m just hoping it’s one of those times it takes players a season or so to get used to the pace of the premier league. He is so far off the pace right now we have signed a duffer if he doesn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmer Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 Think there is definitely a player in there, but he looks unfit and like many others in this squad, mentally fragile. He did ok against a very good Liverpool side at Anfield, but clearly struggling to adapt to the pace of this league. We seem to have far too many weak minded, low confidence players at the mo and no-one to stand up and take the game by the scruff of the neck....craving leadership!! how have we become so soft? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigga Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 And yet his drive and hunger when playing in France made him look perfect fit us.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post coolhandfox Posted 12 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 12 February 2022 (edited) 22, new country, new league, inexperienced, in a team that is having a poor time.

Lesta2014 Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 His best performance so far is Moscow away particularly second half! That’s where we need him at on a more regular basis! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrington fox Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 22! I didn't know that. He looks more like 26 27. Runs like 30+ year old and his demeanour on the field looks like he cba frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigga Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 BR own comments on him in the last day or so confirms what we all think. the thing is, from his performances in France, he looked made for the PL. yet his work ethic is right at the other end of the spectrum since he has played for us.. surely that is BR tactically ?? it’s like when BR says that we started the game slowly for the 20th game running… yet nothing changes on the pitch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Scott Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 I had not seen that video of him before. I know it's only his best bits but he looks terrific & just the type of player we are currently crying out for. Who knows why we have not seen these performances yet. His confidence looks very low & he seems a bit overawed by it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Corky Posted 12 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 12 February 2022 I'm at the stage where I'm not going to judge players too much under this manager, I think most of our squad isn't being played in a suitable way.

Not a single player is playing well and at least 75% of the squad are playing well below their normal levels under Brendan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turlo Posted 12 February 2022 Share Posted 12 February 2022 Thought he did well in his earlier appearances but has struggled to adapt to the pace of the league and has been part of an inconsistent team without a settled formation. Looks like his confidence has suffered as a result and being brought on as a late sub in some of the games we've blew late on won't of done his confidence any good either. Not writing him off yet and really hope he comes good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have played in front of large crowds previously, experiencing pressure when trying to clinch the title at Lille. As the new boy at school you try to fit in the best that you can. In this instance the least you can to is to work hard and listen to the people around you. He appears not to be taking responsibility and letting other players do the work that he should be doing. You cannot constantly allow players to run freely in to our box, and watch it happen and not think, that is something that I should be doing something about. Players have come here and have found it hard to settle, confidence or not, help to take some of the load from your team mates, you might just start to play yourself into games that way.
