Did we sign lua lua to sit it out on the bench???

[the munch]

I really am surprised with all the hype around lua lua in the summer to sign him he continues to start on the bench he's premiership quality, fast and unleashes a powerful shot!!! why does he not start more regularly with the way results are going....very surprised, we get him on loan and don't use him enough....yea we got noone but they switch wings so why can't they both start regularly.

Have you heard of Craig Noone?

Just re-read you post, ignore my earlier response

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

we haven't played particularly well when lualua and noone have started together......plus noone has been playing better and has therefore played more

 

[MORTY]

I think hes been poor since the start of the season.

 

[terryberry1]

to be fair he has not been that great this season. I don't think we will buy him in Jan. Not for the price Fat Ash would want anyway

 

[Sheebo]

It's mainly because we like to play 1 winger and 3 centre mids with one covering the wing a little and Barnes covering the other wing a little - it's been very effective in league 1... KLL looks a little off the pace and not his old self YET - we all know how good he is though, we must give him more time. Disappointing he wasn't in squad Sat - I presume another victim of the 5 sub rule - stupid!

He seems a bit off the pace when he comes on. Gus has identified the issue today with the need for some 'steel' at the back.

It would also help if Mr Ankergren would stop dropping to his knees when somebody kicks a football at him.

Its possibly because we are defensively fragile especially on the left and Lua Lua brings absolutely nothing to protect Painter.

Agreed. Yes he can generally beat his man with his electrifying pace, but so far this season he's offered little else. His crossing has been average and he often gets knocked off the ball. What's more I don't think he's made more than a handful of (attempted) tackles. He's some way short of the potential we saw last season.

 

[Red'n'Blue]

Lua Lua is not premiership quality.

 

[Grassman]

Has he really been that ineffective? The majority of the time he beats his man/or gets a foul awarded due to his fantastic turn of pace - agree he ain't been great defending and I would assume thats he reason why he's not starting.

It must be said that he hasnt looked Championship class either as he appears to have lost his pace. The blistering turn of space seems toi have gone and now he is reliant on being fouled.

KLL not been the same since his injury imo

I tend to agree with you there except he did show a bit of it against Spurs !

No way he is going to keep Nooney out at the mo !

Thanks for your insight. How many times have you seen him play, out of interest?

Well the one time i did he was woeful.

 

[kevtherev]

I think Poyet would love to start with Lualua but simply hasn't been able to because of Noone's form. As a result he appears to be sulking a bit and somewhat off the pace. I still think he has a lot to offer personally. Maybe he will be another Paul Brooker, poor up until xmas then superb in the second half of the season. I dare say Lualua's form will pick up as we get closer to January.

Is it any surprise? The kid is 20 years old and has just come back from breaking his leg. He's had half an hour here, twenty minutes there, and people expect him to be at that same level he was last year already, while playing in a higher division! Give the guy a chance!

It's lucky half the people on here aren't football Managers or no player would ever get the chance to develop into anything approaching half decent.
