Liel Abada

I'd argue BR's system is the reason why he's dropped in form. It's a possession-based system that favors technical ability over physicality, hence cannot maximize the effectiveness of pacey players. I mean, it's not just Abada. The same goes for Kyogo, Maeda, Iwata, Johnston. I'd include Bernabei on that list as well. I believe he would have been far more effective under Ange despite his obvious defensive limitations.

In any case, raising awareness about the genocide in Palestine is far more important than winning football matches. If that's why he's underperforming, too bad for him. We shouldn't compromise on what we stand for to make players happy.

 

He’s been straight up the tunnel since he came back from injury. Last night wasn’t something new. We obviously tried to get rid in January but couldn’t for whatever reason. You can’t really blame him tbh.

 

Obviously doesn't want to be here and will surely be off in the summer. Kuhn was abysmal last night but Abada was even worse. Clearly didn't want to be there and I almost felt like he was actively sabotaging. It is what it is. We could be resorting back to Palma on the left and Maeda on the right at this stage.

 

Pish yet again when he came on! Can tell he's not interested in being here was glad he didn't start but just wish Kuhn had taken the chance to put in a good performance.

 

It's deliberate his wee bird has * off home too

 

Aye. I think Ange knew the time to cash in was the summer, hence why all the murmurings were we were going to sell. We've totally missed that chance now, will probably end up losing out on near £10m.

 

Deffo not wanting to play for us.

Hes done here, I wouldn’t give him another minute if I’m honest give Rocco Vata the game time instead.

 

It's another baffling bit of logic in keeping the guy here when he clearly doesn't want to be here. Need to stick with Kuhn for a while as poor as he looked yesterday and as bhoy81 says, give Vata a run if need be. Another one who is going to be hanging about for the rest of the season until he gets to go.

 

Done purposely for a knockdown £500k bid from Hapoel Tel-Aviv.

 

I'm gonna stick up for him a wee bit. In the last 2 games he's gotten himself into an excellent position where an easy pass to him was on and you would bet you house on him to finish it.

In both games the pass never came. Last night it was Idah fannying about on the ball. Can't remember who it was at the weekend.

Abada's all round game has never been great, but his end product is quality. Not much he can do if his team mates fail to play him in when he makes a great run though.

 

Don't be silly! The reason why he's playing like this is because of the Palestine situation. Think about it logically for a sec. He is standing up for what he believes in(even thou it's wrong IMO) . He's getting all the pro Israeli propaganda about this war. His family, friends and country men and women will look on him.as scum if he preforms for us in a good way. The man has downed tools and that's the bottom line of it. Nothing to do with BR.

 

Lies.

 

I would genuinely try boost his value up a bit by shipping him out on loan to any market that’s still open he is useless to us playing as he is.

 

Can we loan him till the MLS and sell him next January?

Heads gone, hearts not in it, doesn't want to be here. Need to get him out ASAP.

 

His end product is decent but nothing special. Another player you wouldn’t hang your hat on scoring in a 1v1.

He scored 5 goals in 2023 and got 6 assists.

 

Doubt very much that he’s trying to deliberately sabotage anything, but as soon as things kicked off in Palestine he was basically done from our point of view. Can’t see any way back for him, but I’d like if he proved us wrong.
