2017/18 Yannick Bolasie

[hktoffee]

The power and pace is still here.

Just need more matches to get his fitness up.

 

[EFC78]

Mate you obviously watch a different Bolasie to me.

Name 1 point in the entire 90 minutes where he got past his man and found his target, or laid it off, or had a shot on target. You can't. Because none happened.

Did you miss the goal then? Because in the game I watched, the ball broke to him in our half where he 'got past' Lallana and played a first time ball to Lookman to start a quick breakaway for our goal.

 

[Pabbers]

Fine player, missed him badly.

 

[Frang]

will get better and sharper after each game.

its great to have a genuine threat bombing down the wing.

he wrung Robertson inside out lastnight like a wet pair of pants... its just a shame no one was there in the box to get on the end of his crosses, most of which were pretty good.

keep it going yannick lad

He didn't 'get past Lallana', the ball bounced over him and he laid it off for Lookman, Jagielka and Gylfi to do the work. He was ok all game, average.

Had he got any composure he would have laid the chance at the end off.

Virtually first minute...skinned the full back and got his cross in. For the goal, beat Lallana and set up counter attack. Beat full back lots of times and crossed. Near the end, ok wrong decision on the shot, but still heavily involved. Close to our best player if Jags had not been so immense.
I suspect you have an agenda.

No agenda, I just don't see what you see.

I see mishit, overhit crosses, showing off for the sake of showing off and a complete lack of awareness of where his teammates are because he wants to look good doing useless stuff with the ball.

If he learned to do the basics well he would be some player, he can't. He concentrates first on trying to show off.

 

[sageyefc]

Obviously just needs to get his fitness back, but we've badly missed a player like him who can carry the ball 50 yards up the pitch and take players on.


Him on one side with lookman on the other side and we're on to something

I dunno what game you was watching, maybe a crystal palace game from a few years ago on skysports footballing years 2011/2012 or something??

its not showing off either, he's trying to confuse his opponent, which worked 9 times out of ten lastnight, it seems he's confusing more than his oppo too lol

 

[Deco]

Put in a great shift last night and created almost all of our chances. Looking forward to seeing Tosun on the pitch with him.

If you want to lie about what actually happened then that's up to you. 'The ball bounced over him'? Who, Lallana? Yes that's because Bolasie headed the ball over him and therefore 'beat his man'. You asked for one example which I gave. He also played a quick and effective pass to Lookman which sent us on our way.

All 4 contributed to the attacking aspect of that goal and if you can't accept that then you've clearly got some biased view against him that's clouding your judgement.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Looked decent and skinned a few players, shame we never have anyone in the box because he’s a decent crosser.
Bit more fitness and hopefully paired with the new striker and I think he’ll be good

 

[banno]

Played well and helped us actually get up the pitch often. Considering he has been out a year he is looking very good.

 

[Efctrueblue]

He put two quality crosses in late in 1st half. They were wipped in and a good height for a CF to attack and score. Just our CF was Calvert-Lewin who wasnt in the box. Hope this Tosun lad gets in there and bags a few!

I'm not a fan of Bolasie, I admit.

But those crosses you mention were boss.
He didn't even try and go past his man completely, he got enough room and banged it in.
A proper centre forward would have got onto at least one of them.
