Boubakary Soumare

[FoxyLeon]

I'd want to see him play for a competent manager, in a competent system in his correct position.....Before passing judgement.

Looks to have very good attributes, that Rodgers isn't able to use.

 

Maddison's decline.....

Ndidi's decline.....

Tielemans's inconsistency....

Now Soumare being questioned....

 

When do we realise it's Brendan, and not the players?

[sm1]

Worst game for us. Just seems sort of pace, not sure whether he's slow or just carrying abit too much weight.

[Nalis]

Essentially had 3 decent games for us, one of which was a pre season friendly and the other was a glorified pre season friendly.

 

As I said in the matchday thread, if he was just poor against the better teams then I could take that but he's not even 'good against fodder' consistently yet.

 

Hope he's just having a slow start to his Leicester career rather than this being his norm.

Looks like a really good player is in there somewhere, was obviously a quality player last season, I'm reserving judgement on him, moving country can be different for everyone, especially when you're moving to a club that is as inconsistent as us at present. 

I hope he can find his way here as we potentially have an Ndidi replacement in him if he can find his form, but the way LCFC are playing I won't be calling for him to be dropped or anything just yet, he needs game time. I can't really think of any players who have covered themselves in glory this season or stood out, so I can't expect it from BS.

[Ric Flair]

He's the sort of central midfielder I don't naturally appreciate so when you see him serve up muck like that today then it makes me very very angry.

Being poorly coached. 

That and his being mediocre are not mutually exclusive.

Soumare is a very good player.

Please explain.

I’m starting to get a bit concerned about this signing. I’ve seen a bit which has encouraged me but his failure to track both Moses against Spartak Moscow and Kante today is inexcusable.

[sdb]

Not impressed thus far. Slow and a total inability to pass forwards

Well I dont think he's mediocre, he's playing as bad as everyone else is currently. I dont think our form is down to Soumare.

He has a physical presence we’ve been lacking for season upon season. He rides challenges and shields well. He plays incisive balls and he can drive from midfield. He’s also skilful and good with the ball in tight spaces. 
Today I would have bollocked him for letting Kanté go, but he’s a fine player. Our problems are not because of him. 

[Mark]

Seems unable to pass forward, too happy to keep it simple with a back pass. There was a great bit of play second half when he did a stepover but soon as he needed to release the ball he’s found wanting.

 

A back five and two defensive midfielders is no use against anyone though. 

[HybridFox]

Had an absolute stinker today and would have been completely justifiable to have hooked him before HT

Should've pulled Soumare at half time, drop Ndidi into a DM and bring on Maddison and KDH in front of him

 

It was so easy all game for Chelsea to play through our midfield

[EastAnglianFox]

Does nothing on the ball then jogs around with his shoulders slumped when we don't have it. 

 

Sick of being called out for the week after week I mention it, but it will hit home soon, his attitude stinks. 

 

At least Mendy/Choudry put themselves about and are yet smaller physically than that dosser

To be fair, it seems the whole team have been told they get fined if they pass forwards.

Did you copy and paste this from a Puel thread? 

[DennisNedry]

He's inconsistent to put it lightly. Haven't seen anything to suggest he's not good enough to be starting regularly if we want to try and be a top 6 side again.

At what? Cricket, can’t see anything he is any good at. Slow, poor passing and not even that good in the air. Bang average at everything

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

Is skilful undoubtedly, but looks overweight and unfit. 

[cropstonfox]

Shockingly slow.jogged behind Kante for his goal.

Worst than Inler.

He's no good for us.

[Stevosevic]

Bit of a lump isn't he

[Guest Col city fan]

Don’t get what’s happening with Mendy

He’d have been better playing today than Soumare

In fact, Soumare is pretty crap isnt he?
