austsaint Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 Class act. Exactly what we cry out for in most games - creativity and moments of quality. Yes, he will lose the ball some times and frustrate - but he tries things - you have to win games of Football, not play on your knees. Boufal is everything the likes of Redmond, Tadic, Ward-Prowse etc will never be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 Pellegrino somewhat playing down the Boufal hype afterwards, which I fimd intriguing. Talking about the physicality of English football and that you can lose a game with any action so the time needs to be right to have someone like Boufal on the pitch. Certainly didn't sound like he is a definite starter at Brighton. That central role is his best position by a mile. Similarly, I thought Tadic was very good today as well.

Chris27687 Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 I feel that if he wants to progress he is going to have to step up and be a leader. For the first season he was happy to shun that role and just try a bunch of skills knowing it didn't really matter as there where others more in the limelight. This game and the last he has been good when he came on and looked way more complete. Hopefully he is going to be he AMC spark we have been crying out. We will have a dilemma though - with the diamond (The Puel Diamond) we lack width, without (still in a 4-4-2) we are too open. Maybe Boufal can be the solution to the 4-4-2 diamond, which he was signed to play in & we signed a manager who specifically played with a diamond to get the best out of.

Heisenberg Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 Boufal came here after a brilliant season in france. Puel absolutely killed his confidence and hopefully Pellegrino can rebuild him from the ashes. Positive signs so far, seems stronger, quicker and more direct than under Puel. Now needs a run of games and some TLC from the boss and team and fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Duck - you make a lot of good points in your posts but it's time to cut your losses with Boufal and change tack. Boufal represents some quality in a side very light on in that area. It's not true to say he's done nothing to warrant a place until yesterday. Did you miss the game against Newcastle? He strikes me as improved this season - fitter, faster and more determined. I'm sure he will continue to frustrate at times with turnovers or trying to beat one defender too many, but he has got the run and the skills to create chances for himself and others.

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 21 October, 2017 Share Posted 21 October, 2017 Same starting line up next week, except Boufal in for Tadic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austsaint Posted 22 October, 2017 Share Posted 22 October, 2017 No, me neither. He'd pop up centrally from time to time, but was almost always positioned out wide. The wing is a safe place for cautious managers to put unpredictable/unreliable players - they're less likely to lose the ball catastrophically, but less influential. Three points off relegation, in one of the worst goal droughts I can remember, and with Romeu and Lemina providing the most solid DM pairing we've had in years, I'd say it's time to abandon caution. When you're not slagging off Davis you talk a lot of sense. Central attacking midfield is the spot for Boufal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurosaint Posted 22 October, 2017 Share Posted 22 October, 2017 Great goal, no doubt and I hope that he gets a start versus Brighton but I urge caution in that he still has a lot to prove in his all round game ! One fear I have is that he will use this to display his individual skills at the expense of playing for the benefit of the 'team' ! Anyway, it's a positive problem for the manager to have and may give some of the others a much needed kick up the backside ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
