[Albion] Worst ever sub performance

[Easy 10]

18 months?!?!? He's been here since January?!?!

But yeah, he's got problems. Should possibly have dropped down into the championship for a loan spell, got to grips with the English game, because right now he's absolute pox.

Brainfart. Thought he signed last year for some reason.

If Andone actually turns out to be even half decent, then unless Old Man Murray gets crocked he's not going to get a sniff here.

 

[Triggaaar]

Well he's certainly not playing well. We could have done with being in the cup still, to give him game time, as we don't really want him playing in the PL until he shows more than he has so far.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Correct - he's played one half of a football match this season . It's therefore too quick to judge him. Ok he doesnt look great so far but that might change this weekend . He needs a run of games thats for sure - and you need to smile Jurgen that might help . Life could be a lot worse after all

He was shit against Saints for 90 minutes in the cup as well.

By the time he picks himself up off the floor there are 6 Saints defenders around him. In that position with no teammates around you it's easy to be caught in two minds. Not ideal, but that pales into insignificance compared with the misplaced pass then free-kick conceded.

Had Ward-Prowse scored then not only would we have lost a point but lost all momentum going into the Spurs game and so Locadia's errors could have ended up costing us 4 points. With Spurs playing Inter tonight, no Lloris and on the back of 2 league defeats I think we have a chance of a win, but a last minute killer 3-2 defeat last night and I don't think we'd manage than a point on Saturday.

Honestly, I thought he made some good runs, found space, drew defenders away from Muzza and offered something which had been missing. Granted he fell over the ball and had some misplaced passes.. who didnt tonight.. but I still think he has something to work with.

Something to work with? He cost £14m. He isn't an U23 still developing.

 

[Gritt23]

Yep. A clear sign that the OP is a JCL, I remember subs who looked like they'd never seen a football before (actually, in Jonny Dixon's case, I'm not so sure that he had).

Ah, good ol' Johnny Dixon. Tbh, I think he lost interest in football after dating this little lovely. In fact, he probably struggled to see the attraction of ever getting out of bed at all.

 

[Bob'n'weave]

I'm loathe to do that myself, but perhaps the reason we've not seen much of him in the first team in the 18 months he's been here is because Hughton isn't seeing enough from him in training to warrant giving him some starts. Murrays form is a factor in that of course, but from the outside looking in, I don't think Locadia is giving Chris much of a selection headache thus far. He's not had much game time, but what he has had he's been totally ineffectual.

I will happily come back on here and plough my way through a slab of humble pie if Locadia turns it round and starts ripping it up in the PL. I honestly honestly hope he does. But on the evidence so far, I really can't see that happening.

I feel for the bloke, and don't think he is talentless either, but something is just not clicking and we are not seeing the best of him, and i'm sure there is a 'best' in there somewhere. If he is sold/farmed out in Jan, I would like to think we tried our best to make it work for him. My jury is out till Xmas.

 

[Lush]

Probably posted elsewhere, but I could see why a QPR fan on Twitter asked if he'd won a competition.

That's what comes of not giving a toss about cup runs.

Yes, I think he had a point! Training on a cold wet Monday morning? F*** that!

 

[Silverhatch]

I thought it was a bizarre signing at the time. His goalscoring record in Holland wasn't the greatest

Hasn’t he got a record of 60 (ish) goals in 130 (ish) appearances?

 

[BensGrandad]

It was pretty embarrassing when he tripped over the ball.

I think that was down to thinking what he was going to do with it in the next move and didn't complete the first of collecting the ball. Possibly lack of concentration with what he was doing and more concerned on what he was going to do.

Not ideal at all but nothing Stephens didn't do on multiple occasions.
Also, although he ended up fouling, at least he tracked back and tried to make up for his mistake - not getting the lazy comments from some.
Bad day at the office for him for sure but not sure he is as bad as a lot are making out. Think he could do with a run out or two in the U23s to get match sharpness

He was stupidly isolated in that game and AJ was even worse that night.
Not sure its fair to judge him on that game.

 

[darkwolf666]

Brilliant, that should do wonders for his confidence! Tit...

 

[Bry Nylon]

At least nobody can say he hasn't hit the ground running.

 

[Weststander]

Obika and Akpom - each time a 0 out of 10.

Let's give Locadia our support.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Guardian report says Locardia gave much needed zest to the attack.

Yes, in the slim chance he does read NSC, i'm sure he opened a thread titled 'worst ever sub performance' and expected a massive confidence boost. Tit...

Edit - Unless you meant him tripping over the ball then i apologise.
