To this day I still never understood why nobody tried him on the left with his pace and inability to use his right foot.

 

Maybe he is just really crap at crossing with either foot and we will never know

That's where he played under Rafa.

Yeah he played on the left of a 3 for Atlanta in MLS, then for us under Rafa with Rondon CF and Perez right. Then Maxi joined in the Summer and he took the LW spot IIRC.

 

I agree, I always thought he was better on the left where he can shoot and cross. Then he had his hot run on the right so I thought maybe not. But overall I would prefer him on the left I think. Certainly against a low block where his main give and go game really doesn't have the space to work.

He was best as a 10 and central behind Martinez for Atlanta IIRC. We did play him on the left and he did play there for Atlanta at times too. I always though he should have been tried as a 10 more for us.

Did he... I seem to remember him running in from the right / centre and trying to shoot with his left?

 

He was on the left of Rondon, and Ayoze was on the right.

 

He was much more effective on the left too. Prior to joining us he mostly played on the left or number 10 at Atlanta.

 

Only got to see him on the left from Jan till the end of the season though, before Rafa and Rondon then left that summer.

 

Thanks to Mike Ashley.

Loved that front three and the back three, where we played LeJeune, Lascelles and Schar.

 

Looked like we were on our way despite so little money spent from Ashley. Rafa was cooking something up.

 

Then came that crushing summer. So terrible man.
