petts Posted 1 April, 2017 Share Posted 1 April, 2017 Came to us with the potential to be a world beater, but now only gets 20 to 30 mins as a sub. Where's it gone wrong? Is it a case of puel getting him to be a team player, or him just being frustrated with his performances so far and trying to do too much?

Shance Posted 1 April, 2017 Share Posted 1 April, 2017 He trys to do too much imo. Just do the basics first and then when you're up to speed, get some skills in there. I don't think it's helping that both Tadic and Boufal want to play as the #10 either. Both are becoming frustrated. Boufal atm is reminding me a lot of Gaston, hopefully they don't both end up the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 1 April, 2017 Share Posted 1 April, 2017 He didn't have a preseason, wasn't fit until October. No sooner did he get fit he got injured again and missed most of January He's a young man in a new country, new team new style of play. Puel said he's lacking a bit of confidence Have patience, he's shown he's got quality, we will see much more from him next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted 1 April, 2017 Share Posted 1 April, 2017 He's not getting much game time. Puels rotation policy is hurting a few flair players. Tadic has been poor and Redmond doesn't score many or assist many. Boufal has played the equivalent of 9 matches for us, he's played the full 90 just twice! His total minutes is a 3rd of Redmonds this season. A number of players have struggled under Puel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuel Posted 1 April, 2017 Share Posted 1 April, 2017 Very tricky, has caused chaos in prem defences already. Also opens up defences with passes that the rest of the squad struggle to. He's quality if you can get his mind right. For me he's a keeper. Does he ever run though? Ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 1 April, 2017 Share Posted 1 April, 2017 I agreed with Puel about him with his pre-match comments: - Lacking confidence. - Needs to start by doing the simple things 1st. - Work harder off the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's quality if you can get his mind right. For me he's a keeper. Does he ever run though? Ever? That pass he put through for Long in the second half was a moment of genius. He looks great when he gets his head up and picks players runs out and his weight of pass is exceptional. Sadly he spends 80% of the time playing like someone mashing buttons on FIFA trying to execute a ridiculous piece of skill in inappropriate situations.

Ah, I wasn't aware of these. Sounds about right, and sounds like they're working with him. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGTL Posted 1 April, 2017 Share Posted 1 April, 2017 Ward Prowse does a much better job though. Oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 1 April, 2017 Share Posted 1 April, 2017 These sort of players need a run in the side, but I don't think we have a strong enough 'centre' to deploy him, tadic and redmond from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70's Mike Posted 2 April, 2017 Share Posted 2 April, 2017 he cannot play if Redmond and Tadic are also both on the pitch,no side can cope with 3 luxury players. No secret Bournemouth dominated last 20 minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenue_Saint Posted 2 April, 2017 Share Posted 2 April, 2017 Needs a run of games and our best will just exactly come from him playing alongside Tadic and Redmond of current squad, but only when playing in front of not one but two combative defensive midfielders. Not just Romeu *a nother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKD Posted 3 April, 2017 Share Posted 3 April, 2017 This time next year he'll be our best player. Just like Mane, he has the quality, but needs time to adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted 3 April, 2017 Share Posted 3 April, 2017 This time next year he'll be our best player. Just like Mane, he has the quality, but needs time to adjust. Or like Garston.... Can go either way. Not sure we will see the best of him under Puel, just because the styles conflict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackedoff Posted 4 April, 2017 Share Posted 4 April, 2017 Our record of signing Foreign attacking midfielders is woeful, Ekelund and Berkovic probably being the only exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellman Posted 4 April, 2017 Share Posted 4 April, 2017 Berkovic was a rogue, even West Ham had to get rid, but he did have one or two good games before that. Most foreigners, unless your name is Gabbiadini, take a while to adapt to the Premier League some don't settle -Di Mario- some take a while -Ozul-maybe Boufal will adapt, I am more confident of Hojberg, I sense a different and better attitude from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
