[Albion] Enciso is such a ray of sunshine.... not

Lots of comments about easier options, but those options were shut down as soon as he got in the box.

Rutter was blocked by a defender and Minteh had 3 between them.

Good post. Frankly bizarre to say the pass was a better option when you see the oppo players blocking the path.

In fairness, unless he's getting consistent minutes, I can see why he wouldn't sign a new deal yet. Let's see where he is at the end of the season game-time-wise

I’m not sure. The impression I came away with after the match was that he’d been a lot more self-disciplined, and there’d been a lot less of:

a) mad wild shots
b) stepover, stepover, lose ball
c) running straight into oppo defenders and being immediately dispossessed.

However, I could absolutely be reading way too much into one performance. It could also be that if I watched the match back focusing only on Enciso, there was more nonsense than I picked up on at the time. It’s given me hope for him, whereas previously I was entirely “he’s not learning, get him out on loan.”

Maybe, I'm wrong, but I have never felt we should try and mould him into the same player was already have too many of.
With the amount of possession we regularly have, having a player who will chance his arm frequently, isn't really costing us that much.

I'd rather he was taking low xg shots and hitting the target, than try to manoeuvre a high xg opportunity for Ayari, who then misses the target.
