I thought so too. From an offensive standpoint, it would really help the guy out if we had a LB who was a little more put together. Claudio played some nice balls down the line, but Traore just isn't up for it.
Not at all. I've been praising him for 1 season in previous years and was one of the fanboys. He was not improving at all and he's very inconsistent, a silent soldier he is nowadays. Like Zanetti was when he played here bar the long passes. Neither of his passes nor shots are something to be proud of while he's not very creative and has low vision. What type of a player is he? Support midfielder?
Lately (for a good period of time) his play adds nothing IMO and his impact on the game is bottom low.
His game is too simple and he's seriously invisible for bigger percentage of the matches.
His second half was excellent. Held the ball well, beat opponents, passed well and became more urgent defending after Melo left the pitch. Good all round performance.
As do I, it's just annoying when they don't really have any proof just a "feeling" and they continue to go with it. Or Bandwagon and nothing is more annoying than that.
