Ademola Lookman

[Rob17896]

By how they play in actual matches? I think watching Walcott struggle to impact games and Bernard scuff 70% of his shots in actual matches is more telling than what they do under no pressure. At some point that stuff has to matter.

A premier league match is tough. If they don't train hard they are not succeeding when the time comes. That goes for any athlete so I think you are being a bit daft. It is so much more demanding now.
The days of going clubbing, having a fag an winning the game are history.

Why is the assumption that Lookman doesn't work hard? I don't think Silva explicitly said he needs to show more effort as much as he generally said he needs to do better.

“I keep believing, 100%, in his quality as a football player, there are no doubts about that, but what I want to see coming from him is the same desire coming from him, each day, to achieve that, to reach that level he wants and the level I believe he can play at."

Seems pretty unambiguous tbf.

The BigIguana’s lost it here....Lookman doesn’t even deserve a mention in the same sentence as full Brazilian internationals like Bernard and Neres right now.

The way your talking comparing training and games it’s as if Lookman’s being doing well when he played/come on.....he hadn’t. He’s fine the square root of nothing whatsoever.

I don’t disputes he’s got ability. I actually really dislike Walcott as well however there’s a reason Lookman’s been legged by England u21’s and can’t get a look in here and that’s cause for all the talent, he doesn’t actually do anything.

Neres, Bernard or Lookman??.....Jeezus.

I will never understand why he wasn't given a run of starts at the end of last season, or at least minutes in every game. We had little to play for and already know Theo offers little, so I would have gone with Lookman every time. I love watching Bernard, but I believe Lookman would score far more given the minutes he has had. People who say Lookman isn't in the same league might look back in a couple of years and wish they had been more supportive of the lad. Hopefully not, and both are making an impact for us. I now fear this will not happen, maybe I have too much faith in Mola

I can’t understand people who think he should be given a chance when the manager sees him everyday and doesn’t pick him for a reason.

Unless you think you know better than an actual manager of course.

I honestly don't see why Walcott ever gets minutes ahead of Lookman, but I only see all the games. Maybe Walcott in more clinical in training, but what good is that when it comes to an actual match?

Imagine how poor or how little effort Lookman must put in to not get in in front of Walcott.

Maybe you are right, but I don't see this. I have zero faith in Theo to ever be a very good player for us, I still believe Lookman could be and will be upset if he leaves, having never had a run of starts for us

Why would he he get a run of starts for us?

Walcott doesn’t.

Walcott did earlier though and was the sub option instead of Mola too many times imo.

Our mangers over the last two decades have been poor and I think it's possible that they could make mistakes. That's all there is to it really.

I can’t be doing with people on here thinking they know better than actual managers.

Unless they want the manager out of course.

Neres is just as unproven as Lookman is. If Lookman had gotten the kind of chances last season as Neres he may have been in the England squad. And let's just say there's a reason Bernard isn't in the Brazil squad anymore. A reason that I think a lot of our fans are going to get hit by in the coming months.
