Adam Idah

No call up?

 

Withdrawal through injury

 

Conk of doooom

Exactly a wee punt to his and he's injured


Sell him

 

Maybe not even second best. I'd have Maeda above him....

 

Since there's been a bit of a pile on recently towards him may as well add my own

Thought his mindset towards the end of the Leipzig game was poor and a bit of a red flag, hinted towards an inferior mentality, we were as comfortable as we could ever hope to be during that second half, players were having fun out there, Leipzig players gave up long before the final whistle and were desperate for the ref to put them out of their misery, yet with a two goal cushion and about 2-3 mins left of added time, he ran to the corner flag to waste time, I said to myself * are you doing, just play and push for another goal to really rub it in

Don't get me wrong had we only been winning 2-1 under heavy pressure then by all means take it to the corner and wind down the clock, but with a 2 goal cushion and being completely dominant with only a few mins left, thought that was a weak mentality he showed to do that

 

This is a terrible argument.

 

Said before we signed him he is nowhere near a 9 million pound player we were 100% shafted he is not a very good football player

 

Taking it to the corner gave us a higher chance of seeing out the win. Very marginal stuff but I hate when players just swing a ball into the box in those situations. What happens if Leipzig keeper catches it, launches a counter and they make it 3-2? We are sweating it for the final minute of the game.

As for the Idah debate more generally.. I’ve been disappointed with what I’ve seen from him this season. His touch has been shocking at times, whereas last season when he first signed I was highly impressed with his first touch and general footballing ability on the ball. He seems to have less fire in the belly or something this season, but maybe that’s unfair.

Not writing him off or calling it a bad signing but I want to see more from him.

 

Well Idah was the only player to do it, not one other player took it to the corner flag in an effort to run the clock down

 

If he did that it would be under instructions from the manager, hold the ball up etc..

Of the things we can criticise Idah for, this is a non issue.
