[Football] Locadia

[timbha]

Reminded me of CH giving Izzy Browne the poisoned chalice at Arsenal at the beginning of the season. Out of position and no support against a top team (away) then everyone slags him off for not scoring a hat trick and being ineffective.

Let’s give Locadia a chance.

 

[Insel affe]

He will come good, miserable people looking for an easy target.

A good pre season and further acquisitions to bolster the squad and before you know it he will be up to speed and the Albions new Ashley Barnes..... oh hang on.....

Exactly, this is ridiculous. Ulloa was hopeless vs Burnley, and received minimal criticism. Over Christmas, Murray spent most of the games, standing offside.

Locadia, came to us injured, has had barely any games to get match fit, been used as a wide player, (when I'm not sure that's his preferred position), then gets a chance against Liverpool, when his nearest support player is 30-40 yards away. What do people expect?

Pulled the ball down beautifully on one occasion and was then outpaced by an ?£75million defender........

Needs a pre-season, needs Gross to start, a run of games, then perhaps people can make a more 'informed' judgement.

Oh and Ryan was crap after 3 games, Gross is too slow and Izquierdo is a waste of money. FFS!!!

You're dead right.

I know someone who scouted Locadia loads of times and reckons he is quality. But I'm sure people in the know said that about Manu.

 

[Weststander]

Murray looking less effective than Locadia and losing the ball virtually everytime he receives it.

Locadia was rated a zero by the mob, so Murray must be a minus then. Get him out of our club.

Who effing cares FFS.

We have stayed up in the hardest of leagues to stay up in.

And all you can do is effing moan about what a player has done/not done FFS

The premier league is a squad league and in time i hope we build on that.

I find the negativity disgusting on here over the last 3/4/5 years on this site after what we have been through.

Most of you wankers should hang your head in shame

 

[Seasider78]

There is a good player in there be good for him to get a full pre season and a good run of friendlies to get him up to the high levels you need to have any impact at this level

 

[Superphil]

I bloody wish we had started with Murray

 

[Stat Brother]

I bloody wish we had started with Murray

Once again I'll ask:-

'What difference do you think that would have made?'

 

[Driver8]

We could have started with Shearer in his prime and it would have been the same result. No service at all.

Not sure what value there was in playing Locadia today bar appeasing The Bedwetters. Was always going to be tough for the man up top Roda, whoever that was and with his inexperience was made even tougher. Felt like a bit of a hospital pass starting him today.

Yes but JL now has that experience and I’m sure CH knew what he was doing when starting him today. What was CH going to learn about GM today, or PG? Don’t just look at it as a single match, however disappointing the score was it really didn’t matter!!

Somewhat agree, but also feel could be an awfully big dent to his confidence getting such a runaround.

Test of his mental strength

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

We need to see what Locadia is like with Gross supplying him, and I suppose CH does too. So putting Gross on with Murray and taking Locadia off is very little help.

Yes but on the other hand, JL arrived here injured and wasn't fit for some considerable time and has never, even yet, been fully match fit and I can't believe that he, himself, wasn't fully aware of that. Equally, I can't believe that the club would have spent a record transfer fee without being aware of his then condition but possibly huge potential.

It hasn't been an ideal time to have brought him into the first team squad given the pressure involved in trying to keep us in the PL so let's see what happens after a full pre season !!

 

[Trelford Mills Guide Dog]

I really hope he comes good, although he was shockingly off the pace today. He seemed to stutter and stall a lot, and looked like he didn't really understand the role he had been asked to play ... especially when out of possession [most of the game !].

Absolutely this. While I was disappointed how often he was bullied off the ball he wouldn’t have had an option if he had won it. Starting Locadia to see how he fares? Fine. Starting him without Gross? Pointless.

How do you think GM would have faired today with the rest of his team 30 yards away and Groß sat on the bench?

I think he would have had a better first half than Locadia and moved his arse to try and stop the cross coming in for their second goal.

 

[Weststander]

Today wasn't a true insight into his game. Up against one of the best defenders in the game VVD, with a desperate Albion playing a rear-action for 90 minutes.

Or even swapping Kayal and Propper over
