For me even if Odobert comes in and is the reincarnation of a 22 year old SonMaybe the plan was for Odebert to step in on the left but I’ve got big Wayne routledge vibes with him already
we still have a massive issue on the right.
I appreciate that you don't see an issue with Johnson the way I do but a player who has so few touches and so little in game impact is a problem. He's a passenger, he doesn't beat his man, he doesn't even attempt to challenge his man. His crossing is meh, his passing unremarkable. He does have a good eye for danger and getting on the end of things but I'm sorry that's just not enough at this level and for this team. We aren't not so good that we can afford to carry a player who has no involvement for majority of the match.
When under pressure he's not an outball, when we're dominating he's not an overload. He's only really useful when we play very quickly on the break and there is a space for him to move into, but the primary way Ange has our passing schemes is the opposite of that type of football. I truly wonder what his purpose is sometimes.
Today was a prime example, Kulu moved over to the right and did more (and that wasn't much) in the little time he was versus Johnson for the entirety of the 1st half and the time in the 2nd. Honestly I think he's a major problem but we don't have a viable alternative as it stands. Again troubling for me. V
