[Albion] Mahmoud Dahoud (Loaned to VfB Stuttgart 31/01/24)

[WATFORD zero]

Dahoud needs to look at how Billy Gilmour responded when he was on the fringes and on the verge of being loaned out, that's how you do it!

I remember an interview with Billy about when he wasn't getting a look in with AliMac, Caicedo and Gross all starting in front of him.

He said that RDZ told him in what areas he thought the other three were better and Billy then spent every training session and match watching exactly what they were doing better and trying to improve himself in those areas. If Mahmoud takes something similar on board, there's still plenty of time for him to turn it round

Correct. But from what I’ve seen of him and his age I just don’t think he’ll bother or have the hunger. Would love for him to prove me wrong of course. I just feel like I don’t ‘know’ Mo Dahoud. He’s been here a while now and I feel like he’s a stranger whereas the other players I kind of feel I know about and can connect with.

Your obsession with men knitting is interesting. Do you consider it an effeminate and therefore negative occupation perhaps? Is it you hate women or homosexuals or both? I mean we have established you are a bigot we are just fleshing out your whole loathsome character here now.

Are your issues related to your childhood perhaps? Did a strong female figure mistreat you? Were you not breast fed or did your granny tell you not to touch your winkle all the time? I am just guessing here. Some more moronic bile from you would help give me a clue.

He needs to get in Buzz's Bootroom ASAP!

It’s certainly a shot across from Dahood’s bows from RDZ as such this will only go one of three ways Sold/ Loan/Improves if it’s the sold option is that also to free up a squad position

 

[METALMICKY]

Quite a judgement call from RDZ when not on bench or used in Cup

Indeed. I think that's telling us all we need to know about RDZ's view. Of course it could be a psychological move to worry and motivate Dahoud. However, I suspect he will be moving on in the not too distant future.

I notice that RDZ mentioned that Dahoud does not have the time to get up to the levels we need.

I guess a lot of that is because we have Gilmour, Groß and now probably Moder and Hinshelwood ahead of him in the deep lying playmaker role. He has proved that he’ll never be the ‘destroyer’ we are so desperate for.

Baleba will be that player but not now. It’ll would be great if we could grab a proper DM ‘for now’ to replace Dahoud. Perhaps we’d stop conceding in every game if we got that special player.

Alzate always put in a shift, and never let the team down. I'd take him in the squad over Dahoud every time at the moment.

Fact is RDZ thinks neither Dahoud nor Alzate are good enough, putting in a shift or not, and personally, I see them as very similar.

Not a shot as such, but I do recall last season RdZ saying they had done everything they could for Undav and it was up to him, this in some ways is similar, though a lot stronger.

Hopefully the impact will be similar.

Probably he does, although of course we don't actually know that. Personally, I prefer Alzate to Dahoud. Over to you..........

Seemingly more cultured l agree. Dahood needs to go out on loan l think, and we'll take Sarmiento back.

 

[Napper]

Classic nsc really

A few were calling out dahoud for being dreadful whilst a lot slating those posters for doing so .

Now rdz calls it out , everyone is now calling him out too

Do wonder what some people see in players sometimes

 

[London Irish]

My only concern was Dahoud was showing his best form (helping to earn a point at Everton, Ajax away). It looks to me excessive punishment for the red card. Of course RDZ sees him in training so I can’t say. But it looks like a falling out between the parties rather than a judgement on his form

 

[tigertim68]

Too lightweight, never make it in the premier unless he toughens up

 

[GT49er]

Not this window we won't! He's already played for two clubs this season (he played half an hour for Ipswich yesterday).

Just a shame we loaned him out in the first place, he could be doing a job for us now.

I don't think I could choose one over the other as I don't see either of them making enough a difference to warrant a place in the team. I'm not criticising either player. Alzate was full of promise, clever feet in tight situations, but only used his skills to move the ball about 10 yards. Dahoud is more experienced at a high level, but can't seem to drag himself out of the mediocrity of doing the same thing. They are both lightweight physically and I can't help reflecting that maybe a Belgian League or similar is their best level and the Premier League is beyond them. But it isn't about my opinion. It's RDZ who matters. Alzate won't get another chance with Albion. It feels from RDZ's comments that Dahoud is in the last chance saloon. Step up or step out.

This photo gives me a little hope… (at least I think that’s him..!)
