Locadia on the same pitch, in the same team as Trossard.
Astonishing really.

[Albion] Let’s Talk About Locadia

That just made me laugh out loud.
I'm starting to actually think that was GP proving a point, too. Unless he came up with the best mash-up in the history of mash-ups and slipped the manager a copy midweek I really cannot see any reason why he justified perching his arse on the bench - never mind entering the field of play in a top-level football match!
Uncle Tony is not stupid. Graham Potter is not stupid. However, trotting Locadia onto the field of play was stupid.
Maybe it's two false-negatives making a false-positive, and Mr D.J. got lucky.
I guess its just the naive fanboy in me that thought Locadia MIGHT come on and do something. But after tonight, its simply got to be a case of Potter sending a message loud and clear saying "just look at the utter SHITE I'm left turning to, to try and win you games".
Maybe we need some more Locadia cameos (and Maupay 3-yard skiers) next month to train some minds and finally get a professional PL striker over the line in January.

he is CLEARLY getting played in the hope some MUG will put an offer in for him .....should have been loaned out to carlisle or forest green.......up there with Kemmy as worst bit of business in recent years ....we should be sueing his agent.

Nice of us to give Ali Dia a fitting Silver anniversary

I've just thought of another one:
Is there a single Premier League footballer who makes George Weah's cousin to Southampton look like a shrewd signing?

A complete non-footballer. A joke substitution

Like last week at Villa those cost us the game.
But those levels are significantly lower than where he is currently and that includes the Dutch league.

If you are a team with cash and ambitions. Come take a look at this guy. Regularly on the bench for the team 8th in the premier league, good enough to get on the pitch for 30 minutes against Leeds, but not given a chance to start and prove what he can do. Got to be worth a gamble.
Potter master stroke, just a shame Big Jurg and Solly couldn't bring back some of that Millwall FA Cup magic to seal the win, we deserved.
I didn't think anyone would ever be able to give Kemy a run for his money, but a centre forward WHO REFUSES TO HEAD A FOOTBALL!!!!! and has so few redeeming features really is pushing it.

How much longer does Locadia's contract have to run? we seem to have been trying to offload him for ever. Totally ineffective with us, and in two loan spells, one of them in the MLS where he even struggled to make the bench at times.
Neal Maupay, as poor as he was yesterday, must have felt sick to the core at having to make way for someone like him.

I think I’m right in saying none of those in the first batch you mention are central strikers.
Locadia is a central striker, just a very very limited one.
The others would be a real shot in the dark. Then there’s Connolly, who is a similar standard to Locadia.
Let’s face it, the options we have up front are dire. Comfortably the worst in the Premier League and barely average for the championship.

And one who refused to break into a run too. Did he ever get above jogging pace?
Another 4.5 years to go and then he’ll nearly be down to his last year (if he doesn’t take up the option of a further 12 months after that). Call it 2027 to be safe.

Disagree that Connolly is a similar level to Locadia. At least he has scored a few decent PL goals and puts a shift in. Surprised he wasn't on the bench ahead of Locadia unless he was injured

Connolly is a better option than Locadia sure, but they are both very poor strikers by Premier League standards.
Hopefully Connolly can come again, as you are right that he had his moments in 2019.
As for Locadia - Even if he does have high level footballing talent (big if) , I’m not convinced he’d ever get himself fit enough to be sharp enough to get ahead of defenders and score goals.

This is the last season of Locadia's contract.
He leaves in January or in the summer.

Hs did remind me that Maupay wasn't playing as badly as I first thought
