Olabade Aluko

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

Don’t understand the hype at all, just an erratic, chaotic, liability when he plays. The definition of a headless chicken 

[Tielemans63]

He looks a bit of a liability tactically, and that's being kind. He was absolutely all over the place today and not in a good way. His positioning was really poor 

[cropstonfox]

Useless

[Paninistickers]

Come on..it's a kid playing in a car crash of a team with an anonymous Cullen helping him out in the right. In fact, I saw him more attacking on the right than Cullen. 

 

Once the lad has disgraced himself 170 odd times like a certain left back has for us, Sheffield and Middlesbrough, he gets a bit of a free pass 

[Fazzer 7]

Useless but then again who isn't.

Worse footballer I have ever seen.

Absolute dog shit.

You've seen.the guy on the left right? 

[jayfox26]

Genuinely one of the worst performances ive ever seen today. And that's saying something when Thomas was on the pitch stinking the place out. Get Joseph back asap

[HitchinFox]

Going by Russell's post-match interview, we won't be seeing Aluko next weekend. 

 

The bit about players not doing their jobs was pointed directly at him and O'Hora. 

[ronnup]

Horror show today 

 

Martin makes players worse

[Gamble92]

He’s been awful but it’s mad how Martin just throws him under a bus. It’s his job to protect him and it’s so Brendan Rodgers of him to distance himself. Get him out.

[Kinowe Soorie]

Just seen the goal from his side, I don’t care about his age, shockingly bad defending.

[RGFox]

We have to admit alot of the younger players aren't anywhere near the pre season hype. Their No11 was class today. Had him on toast

Or perhaps the manager is shit 

[Tommy Fresh]

I like Aluko, he was proper crap today though

[Lad1966]

I just can’t believe all our players are crap. Most are decent players, certainly good enough to play at this level. It’s the idiot that’s managed us and his tactics. I have no issues with prosession football, but it’s needs to be fitted around the players we have in each position and that should dictate how and where we play this type of football. The worst thing is the players RM brought in you would image are capable playing his style of football and to me it’s quite telling that are not for whatever reason

A bit harsh. Had his worst game for us today but he’s been pretty solid otherwise. 

[coolhandfox]

He a kid, played around 700 minutes of senior football over 2 season. 

 

Hasn't had the luxury of a loan like Joseph.

 

Totally hung out to dry by a senior po in front of him in Cullen, who made no attempt to help him and whilst playing alongside Okoli.

 

We play a suicidal high line with no defensive structure, one ball and you are 1-1 with a defender.

 

Hate Martin not the kids.

Never makes it out for the second half one way or the other does he 😂. Somehow, he’s worse than Thomas.

Well he's not 

[Stuntman_Mike]

Can't believe there's not more being made about how bad he was today. 

 

I know the focus should mainly be on Martin, but he was absolutely abysmal.

[sm1]

Id reserve judgement on our young academy lads until a competent manager takes over.

This 100%.  Time and time being asked to be so high up the pitch and easy to get caught out on transition. Always remember our wingers getting doubled up and and getting no room - we give the opposition wingers half the pitch to play with. 

 

In the warm up, they were practising pinging long balls to both wings. Joked to my son that only a few of those actually had to work for us to fall behind. That was the first goal.

 

We've played Aluko in a few positions (felt every week forum members calling for him to be played either left or right back), and then today played him in a very high line.  Its time to settle on developing and give him quality game time rather than messing around.

How long can you reserve judgement for?

[Buzzell]

Terrible today.
