2017/18 Yannick Bolasie

[Khalekan]

The Daily Mirror gave him MOTM the mind boggles

You wha?

 

[Khalekan]

This is the same team that wants Niasse, right? Same team that starts Townsend, right? Uh, yes, he'd be starting every game.

And I know Zaha is a good player, but he's not all that.

Simple answer....no.

He would not get in the team ahead of Zaha and Townsend, even at his pre injury level of play.

 

[Khalekan]

How about.. you read what you wanna read.

I said pass in a key area of the pitch! Of which Bolasie played 0 that created chances/found a teammate in a dangerous position. Lookman had the composure to get his head up.. and vitally play the right pass. Same cant be said in the last minute of the game for Mr Head Down Bolasie.

His pass to Lookman was decent enough, but not the key pass. Also see people saying Bolasie beat his man on this passage of play.. when he merely beat the player to the loose ball meaning he nicked a couple yards on him.

To be fair to him, he makes a habit of this kind of involvement.

See the assist for Rom's goal away at City last season and the way he pounced on a ball on the touch line down the Street one day to set the same player up for a tap in....I can't recall which team it was against.

I am by no means a Bolasie fan, but there are some good aspects to his game.

And I thought he was hugely instrumental in the scoring of our goal Friday night.

I wish we had fetched Zaha from Palace instead of Yala

Come on, man.

 

[Khalekan]

Come on, man.

Come on what?

 

[CRIMHEAD]

Come on what?

Andros Townsend is not in Bolaisee's class.

 

[Khalekan]

Andros Townsend is not in Bolaisee's class.

Correct.

He is half a class above.

He ain't great....but he has been much more effective in the EPL than Bolasie IMO

 

[Huyton Layne]

There's something there but he's looked like he's running in treacle since his return. Should have started in the rezzies. He's got tricks but some of them rely on him being explosive and he's about explosive as Richard Reid right now.

 

[FTY]

He's just what we need even now, despite having just come back from an injury that can end careers

Can't believe I'm seeing him get picked apart on here

Yet he's twice the player of Bolasie.

Simple answer....no.

He would not get in the team ahead of Zaha and Townsend, even at his pre injury level of play.

Come on, man.

Andros Townsend is not in Bolaisee's class.

There is no way Zaha, Benteke or Townsend would lose their place to Bolasie. To suggest it is mind boggling

Looking within the premier league, I struggle to see who would even want him...Swansea? Certainly no one above us.

Think he looks just the same...clearly fades due to lack of fitness but seems the exact same player to me.

 

[Sir Alan]

Tell you what I am not his biggest fan but he’s not scared at where he plays he’s always going to be positive and attack teams.

Yannick unlike some of the crabs we have had, had a right go on Friday.

 

[twoblue]

Bolasie has played well In the last two games. Pretty sure he would have been 100% more effective if lukaku was in the middle too rather than a keen but ineffctive Dcl.
It seems that now Barkley has gone, and Rooney has scored too many goals, some need another undeserved scape goat to moan about

 

[d34noj]

Well I wish all the team could play simple balls like that rather than the hoof. You don't want to give any credit to anyone yet say lookman give a good ball to jags and Bolasie give a 'simple' ball to Lookman. Enough said. You have done a classic overegging.

It's not though mate, Bolasie hit it to a static open Lookman, Lookman hit it on the run, threaded through 2 defenders into the path of an oncoming Jagielka.

Threaded!! No no.No threading going on there with a breakaway
