45 | Abdukodir Khusanov - 2024/25

[I'm With Stupid]

Well if we don't want Ake and Dias going the Stones route. The older guys can't seem to play 2 games a week

Going? Ake has already played less than Stones this season.

Going? Ake has already played less than Stones this season.

I meant for the next game. Playing Stones 2ice in a week is why he pulled up injured. Same happened to Dias the last time he was healthy. Ake has done that like 3 times in the last 2 years.

Play 2ice in a week and they are out of commission.

 

[Tevez City]

Is he ready to play as CB against Liverpool ?

 

[Tugay One Cup]

I still don't want him at RB but only because I think we need him at CB.

Everyone else is soft. Other than Dias. But Ruben is slow and our least talented player on the ball.

 

[Keeper!]

He is the future, he has to play and get the experence.

 

[dhruvblue]

He is the future, he has to play and get the experence.

I don’t know why posters think players are weak mentally or not ready

At max he will make mistake we will lose?

Other seniors are making mistakes and we are losing anyway

Might as well go down fighting with younger blood

 

[Merlin's Magic]

Vinicius Jr has the quietest game out of the Madrid front 4. He was good against a player who is known to be a nightmare for the right backs!

And people slagging him off, what were you expecting - a prime Kyle Walker? Thrusted in an unfamiliar position at Bernabau against the best left winger in the world, he did fine!

I thought he did well.

Exactly, Khusanov had a horrible start against Chelsea but he came through it with huge respect for me and he showed he has superb mental strength to go with the talent.

Keep him in the team and also for Riley, McAtee, Reis etc, give them game time and see if they are good enough.

Basically one game a week until the end of the season, time for Pep to train them up.

KDB,Gundo,Kovacic are coming to the end, now is the time to be ruthless.

Big decisions to be made on Ake and Stones, both still top players but players that can't keep fit and are unavailable when required, are they worth their huge wages?

2ice? FFS.

Are you 2welve?

[Goatmeal]

The thing is. He will know he won’t have many tougher games than Madrid away with their forward line.
So he should feel very confident for rest of season. Given his age and language barrier, plus that rick on his debut which was not entirely his fault. I think he has acquitted himself extremely well.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Did very well last night in tough circumstances. Absolutely bizarre commentary on the lad. Vini junior got to the byline once early on and they started talking utter bollocks about the boy. Was impressed with his recovery pace and looked crisp on the ball. Pep was asking him to be way too high and wide at times aswell. The system with Savinho playing inside was utterly moronic.

 

[come-on-barney]

I said after the Chelsea game there is a real player in there. Looks like a leader as well, can’t wait for next season once he settles in.

 

[sir baconface]

It's a tough situation of course and I didn't deny that, what I'm talking about is this belief that you shouldn't play young players because you're throwing them out to the wolves and their confidence will be shot...etc, it's an excuse I've been hearing all season because Pep refused to play youngsters despite the injures, and I just don't get it.

Options were very limited last night but you must surely get that there’s a spectrum:

- Throw them in to sink or swim, regardless of occasion
- Blend them in carefully over a reasonable period of time
- Give em a couple of minutes now and then.

It’s not the black and white situation you cheekily imply.

 

[sir baconface]

2ice? FFS.

Are you 2welve?

Don’t you just 8 this sort of thing?

 

[Shazza458]

I really like Khusanov. 20 years old, come straight in and done well. In very tough circumstances.

I think they’ve identified a lad who can make massive improvements in a short space of time. I’d be starting him every week now at CB

 

[Gundoggin]

Quicker than Vini Jnr and those 2 absolute cunts commentating ( talking shit ) never mentioned it once . This lad is a beast has loads of bottle and potential world class and just kept going and going . Fantastic learning curve for him last night the lad has endless potential !

 

[Roachy]

There's always 1 isn't there.

They are desperate for him to fail , still not dropped the Chelsea incident.
