Wakaso Mubarak

He's not done much, modern day wingers seem very fit and miss. You look at the best wide men in world football and they're all converted attacking midfielders or inside forwards. I guess for some reason in the modern game you have to have more about you than just the odd bit of pace and dribbling. I hope Wakaso can improve and show that he's a dangerous player.

 

He covers for Izzy really well. Dundee United's first goal might not have happened with Wakaso on, because after Izzy got caught out (and lazily jogged/strolled back towards defence with no intention to make up for it) he would have been there to chase the ball back.

Stokes and Izzy link up really well in attack, but we're left completely exposed down the left because neither of them defend.

I think confidence is a big problem with Wakaso. He clearly has the pace to beat players, but he never uses it. Every time he gets the opportunity to burst down the wing he just slows down and waits until the opportunity is gone.

 

Or a kick up the backside and * all dinner.

Well maybe not that bad but he has been largely ineffective. After his goal against Salzburg I thought he was going to be quality. Guess not.

 

Seen a picutre of the injury in the paper the day, looked a bad one, right above the eyebrow about the same length as the eyebow just opened up. Nothing serious though you'd imagine, stitch it up and he'll be fine to play.

 

10 appearances, 8 starts, 1 goal, 1 assist. 3 yellow cards. 685 minutes played.

 

What's the story with him has he a clause in his contract where the supposed fee gets increased if he plays x number of games surely he's not worse then Tonev

 

Still think he's more of a left back than a left winger, always looks very good defensively.

 

he is away at the africa cuo right now, I hope we use him more as a CM/LB when he comes back, I think he would be class there.

 

Likes a tackle but wouldn't want to see him defending crossed balls at the back post, Izzi is short enough already !

 

Headless chicken

Was excited by this guy too, especially after that goal, but the guy doesn't seem to know what to do on a football pitch. Strange player.

 

I think you can see why he wasn't wanted in Russia.

 

Decision making, consistency and positional discipline are 3 poor traits of his..

I think there's a really good player there but it won't happen for him here, African cup of nations have pretty much sealed that..

 

another one who hasnt had a consistent go at it

i mean these promising players we bring in on loan or buy, if we dont give them a run in the team to get to know the ins and outs of their team mates play, we will never see much in them

they need time in the team to settle in but we wont give them that

if we can't give new players a wee run in the team then its pointless buying or loaning as many of them

our signing policy in the last few years has been brutal

 

Think he would be a good option on the left away to inter for his pace imo

 

Wakaso and Forrest are faster than 95% of other footballers. Neither of them can cross, both are scared to just run at *. Pretty tragic. I was really excited on us loaning him, more so than Guidetti. Defo see why he wasn't wanted at Rubin Kazan

 

I think he's more than good enough to make it here. Hope he has a good tournament and gets a run of games when he gets back.

 

ronny must not fancy him

if he cant cut it hopefully we get in some am that can
