Probably better currently if he comes on in the second half when we are leading, to give someone a rest, as opposed starting particularly given how poorly the whole team played in the first half.

[Albion] Facundo Buonanotte **On Loan To Leicester 10/08/24**
- Thread starter macbeth
- Start date
He seemed to be a bit physically stronger, though, which is encouraging and should hopefully make it easier for him to find a loan in January

He doesn't look anywhere near good enough for us at the moment and was rightly hooked at half time. I know others were poor first half but he has had a few opportunities now & hasn't taken his chance at all.
Re using him to rest others, I'm not sure that will work against the better teams.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him go out on loan in Jan as he's currently a liability out there on the right.

Isn’t the point though that we use him in these lesser games to rest the real first team for the bigger games? Maybe when Ensico is back we have enough but with injuries starting to mount up already we need players like him for a game here or there.
That’s why it wasn’t done against the better teams, it was done against Bournemouth…

Sorry I forgot you can only be a top fan if you post something Positive.
Lad had a wonderful game, great control in the lead up to Gilmours booking, which almost resulted in an assist re the free kick Billing put narrowly wide. Is that any better?
Adingra can cover out there & I'd rather have Tariq out there as an emergency option too.
Seen a couple of posts in another thread re looking like he has won a competition too.
I will take being a bad fan if that means I can tell it how I see it. We aren't bottom half prem anymore..

What a bizarre rant. As the other poster rightly pointed out no one thinks
he’s going to play in the big games against top teams but he’s a useful squad option against the weaker sides, particularly at home.
And who the heck is Tarek?

Tarek, yep I will give you that. I was replying to the reaction to my post. Unsure what's so humorous about that post but hey ho.
I just don’t see the boy as a wide midfielder and he clearly has better attributes to play central. He clearly has much talent but just doesn’t seem physically strong enough for the prem yet. Can see a similar trajectory to that of Mac and will see there best of him in seasons to come.

Tbf Enciso looked the same for his first 6 months or so.

The argument that he’s doing a job and helping us rest Mitoma/March would be a good one if he wasn’t doing a bad job. But he’s doing a bad job.
It’s fine. Not every player needs to be a superstar or total rubbish. But right now he’s a bit of a waste of a shirt. He needs game time but not if it’s costing us like it did yesterday.
Needs a loan.

He’ll come good, he’s still a kid and we can see he has ability, it’s just he isn’t quite managing with the PL yet.
He doesn’t look like a right winger though, so I do wonder why RDZ keeps putting him there. I would like to see him get some time centrally and see how he does.

Exactly, not enough pace for a wide player and doesn’t have a trick like a Knockaert to create space, should be central.
As others have said a loan might have been better this season, but I’m sure those who see him every day have a better idea than myself.

Towards the end of the first half he drifted more centrally and looked far more effective.
I'd like to see him given a chance in the number 10 position, perhaps on Wednesday against a lesser team in the cup.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that the intention was to send him out on loan this season until (Enciso?) got injured

He's 18. Still learning, he's at the right place to gain experience and has options playing more in the middle. Once he gets a goal I think he will change 
Showed a new facet to his game yesterday, by not only being ineffective, but adding total ill-discipline to it. RDZ had no option but to hook him, because he was going to get himself sent off.
To suggest Sarmiento would be a more useful option is a MASSIVE understatement.
