Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Bloke is 6ft2 yet he sometimes looks like a little girl on the pitch. Also his passing is dreadful. positivefootball 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Guy’s had no preseason and is carrying an injury and still played. Yes, bad game, but he didn’t let the mistake get to him and was a lot better after it. Still has to work on his awareness a lot, but he’ll get better. Just love that he stepped up for his team today even though he was in pain/injured. Stats and DDA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks really slow and sluggish. Major concern tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Do you think the board were into Bakayoko before Monaco's last season? I doubt it. I think they just threw money at a flavour of the month. positivefootball, Supermonkey92 and Peace. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermonkey92 1,428 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Positional awareness is severely lacking. Having kante press like a hound, im not sure you want Baka as his partner suring up after. Someone said he has the same confidence on the ball as Cahill. I see that alright. I just keep thinking, ARE YOU FUCKING DAY DREAMING OR SOMETHING? midfield is the least forgiving position for that. It's like he could be sitting watching the lottery draw with his ticket in his hand. First ball comes up, he checks his ticket, he has that number. Second ball, quick check . . . Yep! On his ticket. Rinse and repeat for all numbers and . . . . . . It would still take him 60 seconds to realise he's won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
positivefootball 195 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Bakayoko looks the same too me as he was in the french league. No injury excuse sorry. DYC., Blue-in-me-Veins and yuvala 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did have a shcoker today though in terms of what is expected. The Skipper, 11Drogba and the wes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Terrible today, just lauded about the field like he had no point to prove. In his area of the field and his poor performance he should be benched. Terrible. positivefootball and yuvala 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was excellent between the Arsenal and Leti games, he's been a bit off since then tho. However we have to bare in mind he's playing in a 2 with Cesc, even Kante looked uncomfortable in the same situation and i personally believe it's 90% of the reason Matic crashed and burned so early, you have to do the work of two men. However i think Conte is aware he needs time to settle and recover from the injury from his comments at the start of the season, i think when Drinkwater is fit that plan might be back on.

Fernando 6,585 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Give the lad some time. I rate him highly and him and Kante are beast. Just that we need to upgrade Fabregas, instead we got Drinkwater.... Although to be fair Drinkwater might be good for squad depth, but need an upgrade to Fabregas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably rather buy an alternative to him someone who offers different qualities but you will bot get a better version of the same player. Goretzka is basically the German Bakayoko. Really similar players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they just threw money at a flavour of the month. We can say the same for Kante also, but Kante turned out to be a great signing, right? Even Conte said that he wanted to integrate him slowly into the starting 11, but with the sell of Matic, that wasn't possible. I agree he got some bad games, he hasn't proven his worth yet, but he got a surgery before the season, didn't manage to get a pre-season and now he has to play between 3 days. Not ideal for him and his fitness, that's why probably his performances suffer. But he is young and I think he can improve a lot under Conte and become a serious part of Chelsea team in the future.

Sergej Milinkovic Savic or Kovacic would be my picks. Sms is absolutely fantastic midfielder, Kovacic is too but I think it would be realy expensive and difficult to get him out of Madrid (but I can see him leave if he doesnt get enough playtime) blues.bridge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
