Smal Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Yeah, I think the jury is definitely still out on whether Thiaw fits the team and the way we're trying to play. He seems good individually on the eye test, but we've been so bad defensively all season and he's been part of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our back line is fine...its the lack of cover in front of it thats been the problem...that and after we score a goal, we then back up into our own box and give the opposition possession until they score.

It definitely hasn’t helped - nor have the keepers this season. That is why it is ‘jury’s out’ for me. There is talent there, I’m not yet convinced he’s the long term answer - but I’d like to see what he’s like with a better keeper and a holding midfielder in front of him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Thiaw has been ran into the ground. 31 apps last season for Milan, 30 the season before and 24 the season before that. He comes straight into a more physical and faster league (plus CL) and hes made 53 apps this season. Probably takes some adjusting to get used to. I don't think hes perfect but I do think hes played too much and has had little protection in front of him as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully with a full season and another summer under the belt (and better support around him) he’ll be a massive hit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills and Boon Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Personally I've seen enough from Thiaw and Ramsey to give them the thumbs up. What's the crack with the Greek keeper? I'd forgot all about him, is he supposed to be our number 1 next season with the French kid staying at his club for experience? Pope our reserve?

Thumbheed Posted Friday at 08:11 Share Posted Friday at 08:11 From Youtube scouting, of all the players we've been linked with to replace Gordon, it's Tzolis that interests me the most. Apparently didn't do much when he was at Norwich but he just looks like he has extra time in front of the goal. That kind of composure is hard to find.
