I believe he hit the winner against Everton last season but wow, what a waste of money. It is not just the transfer fee but the fact that we are likely to be paying him £2million a year. When he has a contract like that and other interests, does he have real motivation ?

Could be wrong but I genuinely thought that the restart had been a goal kick.

He really is shite, I’ve given him the benefit of doubt until now but, yesterday was terrible, he’s got the first truck of a serial rapist.
We’d have been more effective if we’d stuck Burn or dunk up front !
Surely he’ll be gone in January.

Nobody said Locadia was sh!t after two games....
He’s had a lot of appearances and clearly ISN’T rubbish/sh!thouse or anything similar, what does seem apparent however, is that this level is a step too high for him.
Trossard has done fine IMO, and of course scored vs West Ham. Maupay time will tell.

You’re missing the point along with other posters who keep defending him!, he’s had ample opportunities to prove himself but has consistently failed- he has zero pace, an abysmal first touch and a complete lack of awareness on the pitch

Singling a player out is always a bit harsh after a defeat like that where Andone should be the scapegoat. Managing to stand out in his cameo was almost an achievement in itself :
- The 6 million dollar man slow mo jog around the pitch after he's just come on and we are down to 10
- The offside miss from less than 6 yards out than in years gone by was referred to as 'Granny' and 'knitting'
- The comedy scissor kick after he'd cut inside
I don't see him being any fitter, up for it or fitting in any better under Potters tactics than he did under Hughton on that evidence.

Came the closest to scoring
Or rather should have scored. An age to bring it down and an age to make his mind up.When is enough... enough?
Locadia was a panicky late January signing.
Always a gamble.
He’s not a bad player. He has got some tricks and moves. Given time and space he could probably score a few , like he did in Holland.
The problem is the premier league is too fast for him, too physical . All too bloody much.
When the greats, like Gareth Bale, found themselves in that position they worked their arses off to improve.
I doubt Jurgen will do that as I get the impression he thinks he’s fine, and others are the problem.

He looked the most tired player on the pitch when he came on.
Failed to chase a ball down, allowed himself to be caught in possession to many times.
To many aimless passes.
Should have out the ball in the net from 5 yards,no excuses.
No loss if he goes and I was happy to give him the benefit of the doubt until yesterday's poor cameo for a striker

He was offside - It would have been ruled out.
Just as well he missed then. To have the celebrations cut by VAR would have been galling in the extreme.
He was a good yard off. Freeze the MOTD highlights where I did for the picture I posted.
Is it PotG?
Thrifty non-licker
He is NOT PL quality.
Interesting profiling there WHP. So rapists have more than one truck.

If we want goals surely Murray should have come on first, also if you want goals young Connelly needs to get on the bench.
Locadia was poor yesterday and added nothing.

Yep - so a nonsense discussion anyway.
Will be interesting to see what Potter does, freezing out Locadia & Andone at the same time would be a big shout
Trossard and Maupay have both scored goals
Yesterday, fresh as a daisy Locadia was 2m from a pass on the wing and got beaten to it by a Southampton defender who was 4m away . . . Who then proceeded to run around Locadia with the ball and leave him behind. It was like he had left his 30kg gym weights in his boots, incredibly slow and Immobile.
Hitting the post trying to break. Her was just a poor decision in finishing style, he has no real intelligence as a striker.
