Shak Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 The absolute high point of Goodman's commentary yesterday was saying before kick-off that Gouffran had "all the ability in the world". You knew there and then that the guy had basically nothing of note to contribute. Anyway, thought Atsu looked sharp when he came on and with him impressing at the ACON then I really hope that he can push Gouffran out of the first choice spot at LW. Gouffran however is notably less dismal as the lone striker than he is out wide. He's not particularly quick or anything but he's vastly more mobile than Mitro or Murphy and with how slow our team is in general we need a front man who can move. He should be Gayle's backup until the end of the year IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I reckon Rafa isn't serious about him or Anita getting a new contract, he can't really say i don't want either in the future right now. He's just being diplomatic at the moment when asked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I thought he looked fine at right back at the end of the season. I don't mind him staying as backup right back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 They sat back a lot more when he shifted up front and Atsu came on. Before that they had the freedom of the pitch to push up knowing that Gouff wouldn't beat a man, the ball bounces off Mitro and Ritchie cuts inside.

Shak Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Was Ritchie injured or how on earth did this guy stay on instead? Desperately need someone who isn't rubbish out there for the coming games. Rafa seems to not trust Atsu but honestly what the fuck does Gouffran do? I wouldn't mind seeing Perez out there with Diame off Gayle. (I didn't see the game obviously, feels a pretty safe assumption that Gouffran offered absolutely nothing out wide as ever though.)

Yeah, his one goal every 429 minutes he's been on the pitch this year has really made it worthwhile having an absolute hindrance to our general attacking play on the left wing. Ritchie has a goal every 312 minutes and Atsu a goal every 238 minutes by the way, and as a bonus neither of them are utterly terrified of being asked to receive or play a pass.

Kanj Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 He'd be on the bench if we'd have signed Townsend in January or if Rafa trusted Atsu to do the defensive part of the game. Not defending including Gouffran, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
