Infinitely Content Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Definitely one of our more promising players this season. Needs to get his elbows out when we have free kick in goal scoring areas though Yeah that free kick was perfectly placed for him to try and float one over the wall. A bit further out then yeah sure Shelvey, Gayle or Ritchie, but from that close in, Atsu has the right technique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Played really well in the first half, but cut a frustrating figure at times as his full-back sat 20 yards further back in the main meaning he either had to do it all himself to beat his man or play it safe backwards and sideways. When he did get in and behind or could beat his man, he caused all kinds of problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Find him so inconsistent and he rarely has a good 90 mins, West Ham probably being the exception. Was still much more threatening than Ritchie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Townsend did alright in Rafa's system The way we play today I think he’d struggle or rather would do as well as he did under Rafa back then. He’s much stronger than Atsu on the ball to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 He's trash, I don't see how people don't see it. Disagree, he was a positive force in the first half and one of our better players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 He's trash, I don't see how people don't see it. He may not be great, but he’s sill easily the best we’ve got in his position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 He's trash, I don't see how people don't see it. He's incredibly inconsistent which is just a sign of the type of players we attract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Most of our players are trash tbh. Not really worth singling anyone out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All wingers outside the top seven bar Zaha and Mahrez are basically like that though. Its a position where you're going to do shit things at times but if you're creating a chance or two per game you're doing well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Zaha is massively inconsistent whenever I’ve seen him. Although he causes problems pretty much every time I’ve seen him play. Would like him here... but who am I kidding Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a position where you're going to do s*** things at times but if you're creating a chance or two per game you're doing well Nah, I'm taking about the basics. I don't mind a winger running at his man and losing it 3 or 4 times. I'm talking about his ability to trap a ball, play a fairly basic pass. He can look like a solid premiership player one week and a championship the next Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 He's not doing enough, but at least he's contributed a goal or two and looked like scoring in other games. With poor strikers, the wingers have got to be scoring goals to help out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Could do with some threat down the other wing, but as long as I've watched us we only ever use one winger who wants to get at people and the other is always a defensive winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperFlat Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Thought he was our most dangerous player today. Terrible decision making, and final ball, but, other than Perez, the only one making something happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Wouldn't mind Atsu and Murphy on the wings with Rich Tea in the midfield. Think he would actually be more use there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Someone mentioned playing Ritchie as a number 10 in the pub yesterday. I think that could be interesting... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
