2020/21 Niels Nkounkou

[Efcjake]

I just think Carlo will go with other options.

But we shall see.

I think you're right.

I can see Iwobi going to LWB when Coleman gets back.

Coleman at right wing back at this stage of his career will not work. He’s a defensive full back now, he can barely dribble or put a cross in.

Rather use him on the right side of the 3 CB's myself.

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

name check in Carlo's presser has to be positive surely?
I hope he starts.

 

[gonetomorrow]

I'm nkookoo about Niels.

He's never been able to put a decent ball in to be fair.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

He will come good tomorrow, he’s got Richy in front of him, had good games in the league cup. Had yarmelenko in his pocket. Had a set back against Newcastle but the team was awful. He will shine tomorrow.

 

[Willow18]

I’d suggest anyone writing him off as not ready based on the Newcastle game is having a laugh, he had André Gomes as his closest attacking outlet.

Now, that’s not to say I think he is ready (that’s completely unfounded as well), but at this stage any opinion on his ability to make the step up is just guess work. Richarlison in front of him and hopefully Holgate at LCB should give him a lot more help if he’s picked tomorrow.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

You can’t really judge him on the last one he played as he and Kenny were left for dead in that game. We have to a much better way this time around to make them available. We can’t isolate them again or the end result will be the same.

 

[Terrarian]

This is what he came here for, to play games, with Digne out either he's good enough or or not and from what we've seen so far he looks good enough.

 

[Toffeelover]

Because that wasn’t working mate.

Working fine at the season start with Coleman, Keane, Holgate and Digne.

 

[Toffeelover]

In fairness though, all defensive combinations have been a disaster this season really haven't they? I think in general we need more defensive cover, not less, so I'm happy to persevere with a back 3.

Not at season start they were it was after none of the CBs knew who to mark, where to cover and also one of them was Mina, there was your disaster and Coleman was out so no RB.

 

[Toffeelover]

If that's genuinely the case then you'd have to seriously question what's been going on in training this week..

I would ask any way and why do folk get injured training.

 

[Sweverton]

He's never been able to put a decent ball in to be fair.

When he came through I thought his crossing was brilliant, later on I recognized that I was just comparing him to hibbo

 

[MikeH72]

Working fine at the season start with Coleman, Keane, Holgate and Digne.

But it’s not the start of the season and we don’t have Digne. Didn’t have Holgate at the start either.
