dowls Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Abdi performance last night was very consistent, he always looked to pass forward and played some really intelligent balls. I assume he was injured as he was one the few shining lights out on the field when taken off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul92vr6 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Best midfielder tonight befor he took him off. If he wasn't injured then a stupid decission in my oppinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barneynorthstandowl Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I think he's the best footballer at the club,just has to get fully match fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not his fault Carlos played him there. Funny how the boot is on the other foot now. When Abdi was played out wide he was ridiculed was not contributing much and some posters made comments such as well he's a professional footballer that should be able to play in more than one position. Now it's Bannan's turn and recently when played centrally he has been poor offering no physical presence and often losing possession. On current form Bannan doesnt warrant a place in the team.

Which by the sound of it is what Mugugan has been doing during training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Bannan shouldn't have started. Pick one or the other of Abdi and Bannan. Otherwise the team has no balance. And reach is far better used further up the pitch. His qualities are wasted at fullback, and he is not that good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though given we've just bought Rhodes we won't be switching to a middle 5 any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramhall Owl Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 10 hours ago, Socialist_Owl said: The alternative is a long spell on the bench. Abdi got us forward. Abdi was always looking to move us forward, it didn't always come off but that can happen when you are looking for the incisive pass. Bannan looks for the easy (easier if I'm being generous) ball which slows us down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baffling. For me he put in a tidy shift with some good positive balls, good touch and available. But hey he was built up after Saturday, so let's whip him tonight eh He also needs game time to get to his best, problem is i dont think he will get it with CC.

Saxondale Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Wouldn't say he was great to be honest. Steady, but like others have said didn't influence the game whatsoever. But not helped by the fact he had 2 players either side of him that aren't known for their forward runs or mobility. I really hope Carlos can find the courage to drop Banann. He's been very poor of late and a shadow of himself from last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Bannan on current form warrants a place in the team? My view is that he has been woeful giving the ball away often and making poor decisions on the ball. The team should be picked on merit not just because your face fits with the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 8 hours ago, scram said: This is nearly accurate - it's not that Mazzari didn't rate Abdi - but he was the manager they had long been set on getting - and one of the terms of him going to Watford was that they would go and sign Roberto Pereyra He would have been the preferred option for the attacking CM role - therefore Abdi was allowedto leave in the event suitable bids came in Bearing in mind his premier league colleagues last season called him The Professor - maybe they should have taken their opinion from here - rather than actually train and play with him? Why did they call him that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is the norm with the Pozzos at Watford, brought in a bevy of new players to go with their customary yearly new coach. Mazzari didn't rate. Here AA comes. If you're going to slate, at least provide factual analyses. Not alternative facts. He didn't leave because the new manager didn't rate him, he left because he was being played at Right back at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
