[Albion] Locadia Today
- Thread starter Kazenga <3
- Start date
Well done son.
You were let down by everybody else at the club today, but at least you can hold your head high.

The only player who looked like pulling the rest of the squads conkers out of the fire.
(not for the first time this season)
Andone’s becoming a Darren Anderton / Sam Baldock with his injury record.

Assuming Andone still isn’t fit no doubt he’ll be played as the lone striker next week and be expected to win headers and play in the Murray mould, just like at the Etihad earlier this season
Keep Murray back for the important games

Agree he looked the best player on the pitch for us, strong as well. Probably doesn't track back and spend 80 mins in his own half to deserve a starting spot.

Combined with his disciplinary record. Such a shame. It's his time to shine as Ashley Barnes 2.0. Place in our footballing hearts is there for the taking.

A number 9 when we bought him, and we're seeing the best of him when (infrequently) deployed as a number 9. What a surprise to absolutely nobody at all. Playing players in their best positions, what an idea!

Think CH wants to try him at CB. Why start a striker in his best position

How did he play today? 
A lot of posters last year, especially after Arsenal game, said he was great, coming good at last etc. I reminded unimpressed by comparison (and copped some abuse from a couple of idiots)
Interested to know if there's anyone who still thinks Locadia will eventually cut the mustard? If so, why? What are the rest of us missing? How much longer are you prepared to wait? And isn't it cheating a bit to say yes he will......in the Championship!

At this level, he is absolutely crap. Sorry, but he is. Goes missing, still too lazy back tracking, doesn't offer anything.
I'd keep him if we go down though, because he is the sort of Jordan Rhodes/Patrick Bamford / Tom Ince player who might well look good at that level but is MILES out of his depth here.
Oh for just one of Bournemouth's free flowing attacking options.

Maybe give him the ball in space occasionally and play him in the middle and not on the wing with two or three players on him when he receives the ball. There were far worse established players out there today making absolutely no movement for the ball. I counted five or six occasions where he ran into space and was ignored. The only time he got the ball was when another player panicked and passed to him in a tight area on the wing with players around him. Even then he mostly managed to pass to an Albion player who then lost the ball
Thierry Henry playing on the wing would have looked shit in that Albion team today
If you’re looking for a forward who’s a great defender I agree he’s not your man, get Solly March back in the team for Tuesday.

I’m not sure today is the day for calling out individual performances.

Did he shoot? Did he score? What did he contribute? I'd say today is exactly the day to be asking questions about individuals. We know collectively it wasn't good enough so time to delve into the detail like this for that's where the answers lie. Why not start with Locadia? Is the Jury still out or have we returned a verdict? Keep for Championship? Or put up for sale and/or loan him out for remainder of contract?
Then do the same to the other 10 players all of whom deserve to be under the same microscope.
We can when they were played in their perfect position and were shit. Propper, Andone, Montoya and Bernardo.
