Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Atta Boy Traore! Happy for the Man. Hopefully he can get more minutes by way of us winning a couple other games by big margins.  Doubt it'll happen, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Love the enthusiasm he plays with. Would be happy with him as 3rd choice striker tbh. Could be the new Kalou for us (as in versatile squad player forward who can play across all front 4 positions and chips in with goals and assists). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Should be starting ahead of Hazard. More goals in 132 minutes than Hazard has in 32 games all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 The run was great and made Azpi's mind up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccg 1,528 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Twice as many goals as Falcao, nice.Thats him Ruben&Kennedy ready for more game time.Hopefully we get 40+ points asap and use the last games of the season to good advantage and give the youth experience !

Yeah the statistic is true but those 2 goals have come in where we have been battering the opposition. To say that means he deserves a start ahead of him is quite knee-jerk imo.

But Traore has played up front in those anyway. Not on the wing. I just think Hazard needs to keep playing. After all this was his first start for a weeks IIRC. So hopefully he bides his time and gradually improves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - I'm not saying that he is. I'm just saying that he could be something like that for us at the very least - you know; 10 goals, 10 assists sort of squad player. He does have potential to be more effective and consistent than Salomon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have just vanished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Traore should start against PSG instead of Hazard because at the moment Eden doesn't offer anything offensively nor defensively. Traore is much more lethal in front of goal and seems to have much more energy and workrate in his game. We cannot afford Hazard missing chances in such a crucial games as the ones against PSG. This kid is going to be very special, I hope Hiddink and his successor realize the potential of him and give him plenty of chances. In fact there is no reason why he shouldn't start the rest of the games this season, especially in the league. Its ridiculous how few chances the youth have been given considering the fact that this season would have been the perfect opportunity for building the new core of the team. I think the managers and the board should come to Amsterdam and buy shrooms to get some long-term vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched him so many times, I know he has special talent. However I don't know how you can say something about not starting fit Hazard with a straight face.
