An Sionnach Posted 1 March 2023 Posted 1 March 2023 He is useful as an option , I thought Kelechi looked far, far more dangerous when he came on. For all his occasional clumsiness , Iheanacho is now our most potent forward. He should start every match. 3
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 1 March 2023 Posted 1 March 2023 Even at my most pessimistic I didn't think he'd be fully Rodgered so quickly 2 2
reynard Posted 1 March 2023 Posted 1 March 2023 Right now I'm glad we didn't spend 20 million plus on him on a permanent deal. Great first game but very ordinary since. Maybe he will show his real worth but I'm not convinced at the moment but still time I guess.
Lionator Posted 1 March 2023 Posted 1 March 2023 When the team is so disconnected, then no winger will shine. For wingers to shine they need a solid base behind them. Our base last night was sickeningly feeble. This means that Tete and Barnes are pretty much always getting the ball on the back foot. Think Mahrez, outstanding when the team was solid, but looked clueless when we were poor defensively bar the odd moment of magic. You’ll never see the true potential of Tete while held back by these appalling tactics. 2

Jonezy Posted 1 March 2023 Posted 1 March 2023 Seriously that pass to Barnes for the goal setup was the only piece of quality from our guys all night.

Ric Flair Posted 1 March 2023 Posted 1 March 2023 More than able and willing to take any flak for Tete's perceived lack of ability because I will defend him to the hilt on that. He's got plenty of technical ability, his first touch is immaculate, he's quick, skillful and has end product. His 3 home games for us are nowhere near what he is capable of. He has to take some responsibility for that, but at this stage and given it seems clear the Villa and Spurs games were the outlier for this team as opposed to the norm then the issues run far deeper than the individual. I've got to laugh about last night. He started the game well, then as we saw from the whole team we were ran ragged until Iheanacho and Mendy were brought on and for the next 10 minutes or so Tete got more involved and delivered some positive switches of play, the first signs of any attacking threat we'd had since we'd gone behind. Rodgers then inexplicably subs him and the shape of the team most certainly wasn't stronger as a result. Tete will go right to the very top, he'll be a successful winger in one of the top 5 European leagues for many years. If that doesn't happen here, he won't be the reason for it. We are an abomination right now, it's like blaming a Michelin chef for an unpleasant meal at a restaurant in a war zone. 3

With you on all this, there seems to have been some action taken since Brendan classed our two biggest wins of the season as "chaotic" to calm the team down and stop playing the kind of football that lets our flair players shine. 1
An Sionnach Posted 1 March 2023 Posted 1 March 2023 They will still be talking about the next Mahrez in twenty years on here. Don't worry the annoying French/Algerian will want his job back in two or three years. Personally I would tell him to clear off. Tete is a useful wide man , just lower your expectations. Anyway we have a bigger problem in midfield at the moment. 1

Eddo Posted 2 March 2023 Posted 2 March 2023 For some reason (As I doubt tete actively wants to take the ball with his back to goal around the half way line) he plays deeper here than he did in France.
ealingfox Posted 4 March 2023 Posted 4 March 2023 He's shit, sorry. The Neck Oil merchants aren't usually wrong but this is one. Dribbling towards someone and stamping your feet a few times isn't what anyone needs.
The Doctor Posted 4 March 2023 Posted 4 March 2023 Not looking great but tbf this set up would make prime Messi look like Josh Low. 1
SafewayFox Posted 4 March 2023 Posted 4 March 2023 I hope that I’m wrong but he might actually contribute less than Under did during his time here 😱 2

tom27111 Posted 4 March 2023 Posted 4 March 2023 We've been massively mugged off by some agent making £££'s, yet again.
