Jack14Bojangles Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 My impression from Germany was that Eddie had made it clear to Nick that he was firmly in Nick's plans as a striker. Given his playing time over the last two months, you can imagine how frustrated Nick must be. When players like Ramsey, Willock, and Murphy are in the starting eleven, it only makes it more frustrating. I'm afraid the relationship between Eddie and Nick is irreparably broken. I understand why the fans are rallying behind the living legend Eddie. But I also urge you to try and put yourselves in Nick's shoes. If you're honest, you'd probably be frustrated too. I don't think Nick will throw in the towel just yet. He's a loyal soul and I'm sure he likes Toon a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
number9shirt Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Clearly a talented player, got plenty of technique in his locker. Woltemade needs to play either up front with someone alongside or or behind or in the 10 position. Edited April 27 by number9shirt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Fair enough, "a lot" may have been a little much. I've just checked, he's played 9 games in midfield according to Transfermarkt. You may want to look in yourself before trying to correct someone. He has definitely been mismanaged. When he came here, he obviously played much more to his natural game. His stats were good, even though those around him were not playing to his strengths. Howe has obviously tried coaching his system into Woltemade, which neglects his natural attributes. Howe has shown no sign of changing his system to accommodate Big Nick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I largely agree with this despite being both a fan of Woltemade and Eddie. I think Eddie looked at Woltemade’s movement and decided that that, coupled with his lack of pace meant that he couldn’t play up top for us in our current team. That may change with different wide players but there were other options like changing to playing with a 10 that could have made great use of Wolte, and not having to play him as an out and out striker. Instead, we got the weird experiment in midfield where he’s not really playing between the lines, and teams understood that if they put two players around him and hounded him quickly they’d force him into releasing it poorly or would foul him and not get blown for the foul. That experiment and the lack of trying to work him into an attacking system has been my biggest disappointment with Howe this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stand corrected. Either way, it's not a lot of game time and it wouldn't have been tried out if Nick wasn't already struggling up front. I don't think that's being mismanaged, it's Howe trying something new to accommodate Wolter into our system and play to his strengths; his touch and passing ability. It didn't work unfortunately, Nick looked as slow, weak, lost and out of his depth in midfield as he did up front Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
