Adil Aouchiche


Might be a daft question but would we have him back in the squad for the playoffs, or does the loan last until the whole season is finished? Think he would be a decent option to have on the bench for a couple games, RLB had hardly any attacking options to bring on against PNE

Lasts the playoffs sure we had this when embleton got promoted with Blackpool or something
 
Take what minutes from Aleksic? He doesn't even get on the pitch.

Aouchiche is still only 21/22 years old and signed a 4 or 5 year contract. Creative player to play as a number 10. Only player in our squad with similar attributes to play that role is Le Fée and he's injured. 🤷‍♂️ Should have kept him.

So for a start, Aouchie has shown nothing for Sunderland especially under Régis to suggest he will play as a number 10, he only played out wide which we no longer need.

Régis clearly didn’t think he offered anything as a number 10 for us, which requires a lot of discipline defensively, which is why he plays Rigg and Browne there.

I’m afraid your inventing a position he would play for Régis that he never would mate.

Browne and Rigg aren't number 10s nor are Jobe and Neil

Call it whatever you want mate, Browne and Rigg both play as the advanced midfielder when they play.

I was replying to someone saying Aouchie would play number 10, he wouldn’t play the role Rigg and Browne are rotating and there is no chance we would change formation for him.
 
still think it was a bit weird how we decided to get rid just when he was playing okay and contributing

would have been handy to have now instead of constantly flogging Rigg who still looks absolutely shattered
 
Reginald's treatment of Aouchiche was the first instance where his limitations as a manager emerged. I have said this consistently and people have been disagreeing, but they can eat my shit.

He's a very tidy and technically gifted player but would you say he affects games massively?

He was only playing because we had few other options at the time. By the end of the window Le Fée had come in playing on the left, and Mundle and Watson weren't going to be out forever. There wasn't room for him.

Set two goals up and got MOTM in at least 3 games he played mate

He’s not a CM as long as there’s a hole in his arse.

Well that's obviously true because RLB sanctioned the loan move and only played him because he had few options. For what it's worth I'd have kept him as he was starting to look like the player we thought we were buying.
