He looked a bit lost there to be fair (including for their goal). Didn't he play there a lot when out on loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 I'm not really sure why anyone would think playing a traditional front two is even an option; it's just not LJs style, is it? Even when we had Abraham and Kodjia one was moved out wide. An occasional Djuric Taylor combination is the only time we've done it, and that was generally only parts of games if I remember right.

He didn’t look comfortable in that position to me. In addition LJ said before the match that he is the best in our squad at holding up the ball with his back to goal; good qualities for a centre forward. I just thought that if he was going to be picked, he would be playing in a two with Fam (or instead of Fam). That said, I would have had him on the bench again v Leeds. He’ll learn from the experience though so there are some positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 In hindsight , it was the wrong choice and going by our earlier thread on AS , not one that most of the fans would have made . Chucking him in from the start in front of a full house against the 2nd best team in the league is too big an ask considering he wasn’t considered to be ready to start against Preston or Birmingham. Couldn’t believe he came out for the 2nd half and was really concerned the lad would pick up a red card ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonL Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 The complete lack of movement of the whole team going forward didn't help him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Brave call of LJ to start Semenyo. I would've had him on the bench. Thought he did alright, and looked pretty good in places. Will be exciting to watch the young talent develop over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
