Monsell1976 Posted 30 October 2016 Share Posted 30 October 2016 After all the slating, unfairly in my opinion, it's nice to see the lad getting the reward for his hard work and patience. Its clear the people in the know at the club, know he has a talent, due to the amount of money they have invested in him, and it's a good job Claudio identified he needed time to adjust, and didn't just write him off after a couple of games, like quite a few on here.

foxy boxing Posted 30 October 2016 Share Posted 30 October 2016 He certainly has an eye for goal and coming from Russia just needed to acclimatise to the pace and physical approach of the premier league. Looks really good coming in off the wing rather than crossing for someone. As long as he keeps working on his game and bringing his teammates into moves he will be fantastic for us and well worth the money we paid for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes21 Posted 30 October 2016 Share Posted 30 October 2016 his defensive work is underrated. He helped fuchs out a lot vs spurs & palace and walker didn't get forward as much, because Musa was always a threat/option on the counter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 30 October 2016 Share Posted 30 October 2016 Quote I think that he should've been subbed after the Walker (why wasn't he carded ??) assult on him as he scored. Certainly lost his pace and was clearly shaken. Hopefully no damage and he's fit for Wednesday night (under the lights) or the WBA match on Sunday.

This hasn't really been picked up on, I said to my lad walker should have got a red, both feet of the floor, and scissor tackled him, straight red for out of control, reckless tackle, which could have broke musa leg.

sk3since03 Posted 30 October 2016 Share Posted 30 October 2016 Being a big fan of Albrighton, i'll have to admit i can't see him walking back into the side anytime soon now Musa is starting to find his feet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also shoot things out of the sky. Like you just did! I don't think he knew much about it to be honest. The bravest recent goal I remember was Nathan Dyer when he got knocked out. He probably knew what was coming too. Musa just got caught with his momentum. But regardless 2 in 2 and he's not even got started yet IMO, still finding his feet.

Ric Flair Posted 5 December 2016 Share Posted 5 December 2016 Can we discuss Ahmed Musa please, my honest opinion is he's dog shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAN Posted 5 December 2016 Share Posted 5 December 2016 Just not sure what he is. Doesn't seem greedy enough for a striker. Not naturally defensive to be a wing back. For some reason doesn't feel like a winger either. I really don't know where he should play Flashes of brilliance but some poor decision making when in with a chance on goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickov22 Posted 5 December 2016 Share Posted 5 December 2016 We've spent £17m on a player who can't control the ball and has no confidence in his own ability. He's terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given he's not had a good run of games to find any consistency,where as Vardy and Mahrez? He was taken off against West Brom when he was starting to give them a hard time,that was a shocker from Ranieri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When played on the left and from the start he's been ok. I'm sick of players being labeled crap after a handful of games. Especially when it's a new country, new league, new position for him, new formations, new team mates. As fans, have we not learnt anything when it comes to writing players off as crap or not good enough? Wenger is one of the biggest importers of foreign talent and he's always said you won't get the best from many foreign buys within the first year. I still think that's why we wanted the likes of Deeney and Keane. But, at the time they didn't look like value, as it usually isn't buying from within this country. Now... they probably would be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 5 December 2016 Share Posted 5 December 2016 (edited) Weird player. Obviously brought in to help us play like last year but that doesn't work anymore. Looked awesome against Barca and got 2 goals in 2 games in the Prem, before being dropped for Marc 'cut-inside cross' Albrighton. Needs to play more regularly. Ranieri brings him on for 10 minutes against a team playing defensively, he can't get straight into the game, is slated and then back on the bench.

I just don't see any inklings he's got any technical ability. His first touch is horrific, his confidence is the lowest I've ever seen from a player of his supposed calibre and his finishing is extraordinary. It's a mixture of Waghorn and Schlupp. He's muck.

Buzzell Posted 5 December 2016 Share Posted 5 December 2016 Needs to be given a decent run in the side before we can proper judge him. As fans majority of us are impatient. We expect him to hit the ground running. Give the boy time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 5 December 2016 Share Posted 5 December 2016 How long until we're allowed to admit he's a terrible mistake of a signing? Adds nothing at all. Give me Schlupp any day for the squad's nominated headless chicken, at least he has some penetration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be watching a lot of first team training, 'cause I can hardly recollect him having any shots! Then again, I would be lying if I thought Vardy has performed better than Musa has so far this season. I hope Musa can prove us wrong, but so far he's been a very erratic player...

Brooksy Posted 5 December 2016 Share Posted 5 December 2016 (edited) Been saying it for weeks but I can't believe we spent £15m on a bloke that can't even kick a ball properly. If he didn't have pace he'd be nowhere near professional football. He's reminds me of a shit Lloyd Dyer. Edited 5 December 2016 by Brooksy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was brought in for his pace and I presume to lower the burden on Vardy, but now teams sit back and we've gone shit. It was hilarious seeing Musa play up front with Vardy and our players doing long balls expecting Musa to beat 6 ft 5 defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Middlesbrough he spooned one when under very little pressure which harmlessly went wide as the goalie watched it balloon past. There was another mis-hit a few minutes later and then the same again vs Sunderland. You pay that sort of dough and he can't even get his laces through the ball, he's so timid.
