I don't think he's necessarily on the wrong wing. He just played really rubbish and was part of an attacking unit that had no tangible gameplan whatsoever. I'd keep him on the left against Watford.

 

He is, i watched him play a few times in France. At no stage did he ever look comfortable on the left. Even though he wasn't consistent was always much better on the right.

 

Not actually sure we do scout these players tbh. Him on the left, Sissoko on the right and Wijnaldum behind the striker are all very wrong. To get an idea of it, playing on the left is about as stupid as when Ben Arfa used to play there and he doesn't have Hatem's burst of pace.

He hasn't been great, but it's not like the rest of the team are having a blinder and this guy is the weak link.

 

I'm sure if the team was actually able to win the ball, hold it and give him more of it we might see some better stuff.

 

He has played 4 or 5 balls straight into a West Ham player without much pressure on him, he's made two s**** crosses and two corners have hit the first man. Team is horrible, but he's been in my opinion one if not our worst player. Think he should play on the other wing as well.

 

Cisse by a mile man as worst player, but yeah rest of that I agree with.

Looks weak and worryingly, a bit slow.  He reminded me a bit of HBA playing on the left, in games where he clearly didn't fancy it.  Seems to struggle beating a man down the byline and just doesn't look comfortable.  Whereas on the other side cutting in, he looks more dangerous.  But of course, we have Sissoko also playing out of position on the right.  So we can't change it now, can we....

 

Nobody played well last night, mind.  So he was in good company.

people moaning about the leading to goal s*** is the same s*** when people get upset that Hatem caused a goal for trying something. Get over it.

 

Except this time he didn't try anything, was his 4th set piece straight into the first man along with couple of crosses that didn't even land in the box. He was abysmal last night, it's fair to criticize his performance, but I agree that it's waaay to early to suggest he isn't good enough.

Not gonna blame him for the second, that kind of thinking is what leads to tepid, floated set pieces to Mike Williamson at the back post.

 

He played badly though, they all did bar Janmaat and maybe Mbemba.

There times yesterday when he looked like he lacks pace, but I don't know whether that was just because he wasn't finding any space. Either way, the end result was that Tompkins had him in his pocket all night.
