bowlingcrofty Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Got a good run of games coming up where he could make a difference. Get him in for Sissoko. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I have a calm confidence this guy will be fine. Especially now Mitrovic and Perez have nailed down starting spots. Get him on the right and put Sissoko elsewhere please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Back in for who? I wouldn't want Sissoko sacrificed just yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Listened to Football Weekly podcast. Someone made a comment about Marseille starting to look like they can cope after losing many players. Dude mentioned Thauvin last then laughed as if he wasn't a miss at all. Yep, it's sounding and has looked like we have spunked loads of money on a right duffer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 It's worrying that we've chased him for years aswell. It's a bit like Mark chasing Sophie in Peep Show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 It's really common for players of his type to start off well in the Premier League and then tail off for a while. Firstly the PL is the most physically demanding league in the world and it takes attacking players, in particular, time to adjust to the speed, intensity and physical rigours. They often start off well, get knackered and then take time to get themselves properly up to speed. It's a very well trodden path. Add to that the fact that every club has an analytical department designed to learn the ins and outs of every player at every other club - which is his preferred foot, what tricks/skills does he use, does he come inside or knock it down the line, how does he react to rough treatment. Within 2-3 weeks of joining the league a player who perhaps shone in his first couple of games has been analysed and a game plan has been created to stop him. This is nothing new and it's far too early to write Thauvin off. If he has enough talent, character and motivation he'll adapt and bounce back. Time will tell.

Superb analogy that actually, the chase goes on for years before the dawning realisation that it was a bit of a waste of effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was getting kicked about and was suffering because of that similar to Cabella, I could understand. But he gives the ball away under very little pressure which is a worry. It's not like he's being fouled persistently over 90 mins, he just looks too dopey to deal with the pace of the game. He does have talent though, just needs to get in gear a lot quicker.

mrmojorisin75 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Three goals up her should have come on for Perez. Cisse contributed nothing but shitness as usual. We might not get many opportunities to integrate players into games and integrating this lad is surely very important to us.

Won't get a look in until we flog with Sissoko. not sure i'd go that far, mcclaren has pulled a pardew under pressure and shat himself to play the 'safer' options who supposedly work harder....assuming he manages to relieve the pressure on himself a bit i think he'll try and bring the likes of thauvin, aarons and de jong into it more but that might not be soon unless people started getting injured or suspended he's got to start giving thauvin a chance against teams like norwich when it comes up mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
