25. Moisés Caicedo

[Fernando 6,483]

Yes I think they will get better but the problem is another season outside of CL. 

But it would only makes sense if by the end we improve and see progress with Poch. We can't end the way we ended last season. 

So that is the only thing I want to see, I still believe in Poch and he can improve so no need to sack as there's no  better one to replace him with at this moment in time.

He gonna turn good. I'm not worried at all for our midfield looks set but the attack and defense..

Absolute embarrassment this lad. Slow and garbage on the ball. Should sell him 

[DH1988 1,304]

He looks so far removed from the player at Brighton it is actually insane. Reminds me of Torres, what we thought we were getting Vs what we got, criminal.

 

[TheHulk 1,882]

Shocking how much hate he gets considering he came a few months ago, yes he is playing bad but he is a much better player than this and I think he will rise again soon.

Brighton leaking goals from everywhere this season, he definitely left a gap there.

We outplayed City, Arsenal, Tottenham, and a few other top teams in the middle of the field. He was a large, large part of it. 

[lucio 5,418]

Watching his highlights from Brighton he looked sloppy and sluggish already. Just terrible recruitment 

[MoroccanBlue 5,318]

Too many times I see him completely isolated.

Exactly. The midfield isn't set up properly.

[Magic Lamps 11,668]

Maybe midfield is not set up optimally but that does not change the fact that Caicedo just lacks the quality. He is nothing but pathetic 95% of games. He makes clownish errors every game, gives the ball away under no pressure , his passing range is steaky at best , he is slow and weak, his ability on the ball is U15 standard. We should accept he is a sunk cost.

Disagree. Thought Caicedo did fine.

People shining in Brighton doesn't mean much. Mitoma also disappeared.

Echo this and regarding what DDA said about the midfield not being setup for him, I take that point but it doesn't excuse the fact he struggles to do the simple things, caught in possession, sloppy passes, touch pause pause pause touch pass 5 yards, with absolutely no drive when Gallagher has dropped back. Look at our right side compared to left and it's an overload more often than not.

Yeah, I don't see any real qualityin him either. Cannot wait to get Lavia back.

[Thor 2,421]

You all wanted him and rated him prior to coming here - and now he is shit? 

His pass to set up the second goal was top class. 

Our midfielders are good players - you don't suddenly just become shit. We just seem to have people not playing the roles they are best at. Poch needs to put his players in positions to be successful. I don't think it is on the midfielders as much as it is Poch.
