Yeah agree with you. I just tghought the pair of them switched off a few times. Whilst they were up against and experienced pairing (cash/mcginn?) Reinildo and Le Fee are pretty experienced too! Like you say though its the first time I've seen them struggle though.
Sadiki is a bit of a one trick pony but is very good at what he does well which is break up play and give the ball to the more creative players like Le Fee or Xhaka. Le Fee is the type of creative player every team needs, versatility and genius on the ball but prone to the occasional brain-fart as these type of players are, even Xhaka is occasionally prone to a wayward pass. Rienaldo and Le Fee are usually good together on the left but Sunday not so good maybe Rienildo is still a bit off the pace. For Forest we need Ballard to be back and play our best 11 which is where the problem comes in and the problem is Diarra and how do we use him without detracting from our most creative player Le Fee. I think this is where Sadiki needs to be more disciplined in helping out Rienildo allowing both Le Fee and Diarra to play a more central role, either that or Diarra is benched.
Silva was so good on Sunday against arsenal , last ditch tackles , clearing headers , controlling the games pace, attacking and injecting pace or slowing it down when needed. He was every where absolute quality
I think he'll stay, mainly because of his mentor Le Bris and a big fat pay rise won't come amiss. However if either Man City, Liverpool or Arsenal come in for him it might be a different story. He's crap anyway gives the ball away too much
In time yes, but right now it’s Enzo. Looks like he’s enjoying his football and think RLB has defo given hi. More freedom. He’s the playmaker and the creative spark. Most of the good stuff we do goes through Enzo. Liverpool can fuck right off.
Trouble is not many sides in the prem play as high a back line as Villa did on Sunday. LeFee/isidor can exploit it, as can many in the league which is why teams don’t do it. The risks outweigh the rewards at this level.
Haircut
Gives the ball away too much? He rarely gives the ball away alot, I can only remember one incident that ended in a goal and that was against Arsenal. The one he was being blamed for on Sunday was more down to rustiness on the part of Rienildo and the persistence of Mcginn. People seem to remember the bad passes more when it's the likes of Le Fee and Xhaka because of the rarity.
How much do you think it would take for us to accept an offer? Everyone has their price, but like Ghisolfi said about DBD - he's not replaceable. You can't just get another Enzo in the current market - especially with his ties to RLB.
Le Fee tinted spectacles or what? He let MGinn run off the back of him and Reinildo was pointing to him! Le Fee didn't have a great first half but he can be magical as his pass against Newcastle and for Isidor showed. He has caught the attention of big clubs I'm sure.
And for Diarra too tbf.
If Enzo is going to play those balls then Isidor has to start every game, i don't think there's a defence in the league that could stop it. Fantastic tackle to win the ball as well.
Especially if Wood is playing, shudder to think of Luke in an aerial battle with him.
We need Ballard to handle Woods or Mukiele but I like him as an attacking full back. Forest looked decent against Burnley.
I've already said on a few previous posts that neither of them were very good first half, second half was a totally different story.
Well they paid over a hundred million for Wirz who, although he played well against us hasn't pulled up any trees and for me Enzo has to be in that ballpark figure. I would refuse even at that price but KLD might sell for less who knows. At the moment it's just speculation but I'm like you I want him to stay.
