Opinion seem to divide massively on soumare - I thought he played some nice forward passes last half hour against wolves when kdh was on the pitch hassling around doing his running - at Leeds and against Everton I though he was useless - the odd nice pass but he doesn’t do anywhere near enough for me - not even close - game of opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri does have that wonder strike in him but has been extremely sloppy in possession and looks so off the pace it is a big reason why our midfield looks non existent. KDH linking up with Barnes might wake up Harvey too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 5 May 2023 Share Posted 5 May 2023 Quite a few blinded by Soumare’s decent performance against Wolves and when he gets the ball, he’s still a total liability defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been a huge critic of Soumare’s but calling him out as a bigger concern than Youri, Wilf (what does he even offer nowadays) seems to be based on legacy rather than his recent performances surely mate? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flannel_Fox Posted 5 May 2023 Share Posted 5 May 2023 I believe this weekends fixtures will give us a clearer view whether were staying up or not. Can't say which way it will go though. Hoping that the lads put in a performance 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can. He’s been good going forward, but he’s been a liability defensively. I think a balance of Mendy KDH and Youri would be better.

Switch Maddison for Tielemans and bringing Tete back in would be better. Maddison is comfortable playing as an #8 and can arrive late in the box as he would be coming from a deeper position and not picked up. Tete to give balance to the team, it would be good if he sought to play one or two-touch football, where he moves the ball on quicker and it would suit his and our game. Perhaps with KDH on the left of the two #8's, it will allow Barnes to feed off him. Youri just does not have the physical attributes to police the right of the midfield.

Maddison can't play as a 8, it negates his skill set, wherever he plays it needs to be in the attacking third, he contributes little anywhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also quite proficient as a #10, but in this situation and for game control, his being in the #8 role will give us a better-balanced team.

I think a balance of Mendy KDH and Youri would be better. So you don't think Youri has been a liability defensively? Really? He's constantly been giving the ball away in various areas of the pitch and been dispossessed whilst dwelling on the ball with his thumb up his arse. Yes, he's pointed a lot and waves his arms around as if he's a captain but fails to give a captain's performance footballing wise on the pitch. He hides behind players and jogs around aimlessly most of the time. Yes, by all means play Mendy or KDH, but with Soumare and not Mr Lethargic!

If he's to play in the first 11 for either a big team or England, I'd say his only opportunity is at 8. He has the technical level for it, I question whether he can dictate the play though from there, speed up play/ slow it down when needed. Seeing as game management has been poor for the team for 12 months plus, Rogers was talking about wanting him to play as an 8, an he sees himself as an 8, why hasn't he played there more often??

As you can see, he had Maddison out wide in an attempt to shoehorn him into the team. Tielemans for Rodgers was pretty much the immovable object, and even when Tielemans was out due to injury, Rodgers failed to move him (Maddison) into a role that he would have been comfortable in, and where everything would have gone through him, in order to control the game. I must admit, I did not hear Rodgers clamouring for Maddison to occupy the #8 role by himself, but if that was the case he did not see fit to make it happen. We have had success with Maddison and Tielemans playing together as #8's back in the day, it is not a foreign concept, we just had a manager who had lost the plot, and was unable to find answers.

The midfield has been extremely unbalanced. While we have other players not getting a lot of minutes. I'm all for playing players in slightly different positions. We have played Ndidi as a CB, playing Maddison as a 8 or Barnes as a striker alongside Vardy, is less mad than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have previously advocated (some time ago) for Barnes to play as a Striker, and Maddison can be used to play the #8 role at this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
