2017/18 Yannick Bolasie

[AndyC]

I'll honest, I'm far from a big fan of Yannick, largely down to his lack of consistency - something a run of games might address - and the fact that most of the time he appears not to have any real idea of what he's going to do next.

Now this makes him a nightmare to play against, but probably a nightmare to play with as how do you devise a gameplan to accommodate an utter maverick ??

All that said, I thought he worked his tripe off today and he DID make things happen.

Baines will win the MotM vote, but for his sheer effort and utter unpredictability that worked in our favour today, I gave my vote to YB.

 

[Number_25]

Played better after he was booed, weird that.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Bundle of legs. But put in a good shift. I just wish he could finish better.

 

[CaliforniaBlue]

Today it looked like he had some of the acceleration that had been missing since his return. Hopefully he stays fit and continues to improve. Always liked his attitude and passion.

 

[ToffeeTim]

No you wouldn't Tim.

Definitely not on my left peg I'll admit

 

[gonetomorrow]

He's a character all right. Not many of them around.

 

[Toffeelover]

A turd.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

He errrr slightly frustrates melol

Anyone knocking him understands football completely.

He just isn't very good, never has been. As for not criticising? Should we get behind Fat Sam? No we shouldn't, he's not good enough, and nor is Bolasie.

Ok mate. When he played in that front 3 of him, Rom, Gerry. He was very effective. Check his stats in those games.

Players who are quick, strong, tricky create space for others. Once up to speed, he’s a great out ball too. Like Walcott has been on other side.

He’s not a top top drawer player but he’s far better then your giving him credit for.

You shouldn’t be judging him on the now either. Absolute horror of an injury to recover from. He needs time & a pre season

 

[Blue_in_london]

I think even if he plays badly which he did and didnt today, he is the kind of player that makes the other team think twice. They always need one eye on him, which opens up space for others.

We'e been far too predictable first half season - Mr unpredictable might be what we need a bit more of.

 

[everton1953]

Everything changed for him once the goal went in. He was just about to be subbed. With a good squad he should be nowhere near it, but in our state maybe we have to put up with him. I was pleased though at his reaction to his change of fortune today. The booing was from Brighton fans in the second half. There were plenty of calls from the paddock area for his substitution in the second half, until everything changed.

 

[ah11984]

Top quality winger. Exactly what we needed over what Mirallas offers us.

Nope.

 

[Joey66]

He errrr slightly frustrates melol

also myself criticised him all afternoon until a 20 minute period when he learnt how to cross the ball a real showboater , but changed our game today with one good run and cross the rest was dross!

 

[Abraders]

Yala.

 

[royvernon39]

Loads of criticism about Bolasie but surely the basic point is that he is getting back to full fitness after a terrible
injury. On the plus side he has a physical presence, actually got in the box and gave it a go unlike Miralles for example.
Still lots of errors and he still looks a bit slower but the complainers may well be eating humble crow next season when
he gets back to fitness.
