Popular Post! LAM09 7,051 Posted May 12, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted May 12, 2014 I don't think so.. His shots were weak in the first half and he was also selfish, but at least he was trying hard(not like Mr. Hazard). In the second half he had some really good touches, Mourinho probably told him to pass sometimes.I was being sarcastic mate. His movement was very good, but finishing was poor. The positive thing is, he is finding pockets of space. If he improves his finishing, he could be something special. nyikolajevics, kellzfresh, LAB and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldportblue 547 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 we'll see next season but from what i've seen, he's not chelsea quality and he'll end up like moses, de bruyne and marin.. hope i'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Salah even played more minutes than him for us.sorry, wasn't clear... didn't necessarily mean the 3 players i mentioned aren't chelsea quality but rather that for one reason or another, they ended up not working out ( kdb = attitude, moses = not enough quality, marin = not enough consistency)... at least imo The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 No reason this kid cannot force his way into a constant starting role next season for me. Hard work, determination and a good pre-season and anything is possible. No way I am writing off a player on half a season and based on cameo performances.

I think Salah even played more minutes than him for us.Yeah, to be honest I felt more upset of his sale than mata's. He didn't get enough chances and if he stayed after mata left, he could've gotten a proper chance and maybe take it as well. Especially the period when Oscar was off form.

Fulham Broadway 17,313 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Think its a given he had a bad game Sunday, but his movement is terrific.

bigfan 67 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Criticism is fine as long as it is constructive, and not just generalising by saying this guy is "terrible" or "good". This is a young guy who has lot of potential and remember he scored more than once in Chelsea's net with his previous team. He is dangerous and knows how to find space. But for him to shine, he needs his mates to cope with his speed so they can use the chances he creates for them (thinking for instance about the couple of dangerous passes he made to Torres and Hazard against Cardiff) and reciprocally pass to him when he is moving quickly behind the opponent's lines. He definitely needs to improve his finishing which was obviously poor against Cardiff. Once this finishing issue is fixed (hopefully during pre-season) we will then see one of the most effective players in EPL next season. If he doesn't fix it, then we will most probably see him only on the bench or loaned to another team. zolayes, kellzfresh and The only place to be 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 His finishing is dreadfull. Thats why I cant see him in first 11. Mou system bases on counters where all attackers (not just striker) must be capable of scoring goals and not being selfish. Salah is quite bad in finishing and asissting, thats why I dont think he will get into starting eleven. But he is good backup though.

But he is good backup though.Firstly, that's a horrendous sample size you're basing your judgement on (unless you've watched him regularly for Basel, in which case, fair enough, that's your opinion). Secondly, to me, the issue doesn't seem to be finishing, rather his over-eagerness to impress. Whether that's down to nerves (big club, big manager, expectations etc) or dodgy decision making (inexperience at this level) is up for debate. The quality is there, as evidenced by the finish vs Arsenal (and us), for example. Muzchap and zolayes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed him in the middle of the season from a much weaker league. He seemed to be nervous and selfish sometimes, obviously he wanted to impress Mourinho. He'll be better.
