Does Ade still play for us?.
I hadn't noticed.
He's our vice-captain and apparently our nearest to world class that we have, well that's what I've been reading, so therefore he's allowed a loss of form over a number of games. It's just that this loss of form can sometimes stretch to a season.
Do we want that kind of player as your lone front man at Spurs ?
But is this simply just about form ?
He's our vice-captain and on Thursday night he came off the bench with 15 minutes to go . The team we all support, were struggling to hold on to a hard fought undeserved 1-0 win in the Europa League. He ambles on from the touchline , offers no vocal encouragement to his struggling team mates and then, for 15 minutes does not break into a sprint once to close down the Besiktas back line. I think, he chose not to run hard against Besiktas, because in his mind he thinks he should be playing in the Bernabeu stadium in front of 90,000 on a Wednesday, rather than on a Thursday in front of 25,000 at WHL.
It's a poor attitude .
On top of this poor attitude, I don't think he's all that good . He's a poor header of the ball, he very rarely wins a long ball in the air, he's often caught out on his heels so misses good chances and fails to control the ball. As far as I'm concerned , it's because of his poor attitude to the game that he's not realised his full potential.
But of course I want him to play well today versus Southampton and score a goal too
