Palfy Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 What a Baptism of fire for him. Welcome to the toughest league in the world Gbamin it can only get better from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Some hospital passes, but also some fancy flicks and nice link up play. Also doesn't realise he will have also zero time on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makis Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Nine out of ten times he would have gotten a freekick for all of those challenges where he lost the ball. Benteke clearly pushed him from behind. Think that might have rattled him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Thrown into a new league, physically the toughest and fastest in the world, unexpectedly due to Gomes' injury, having had almost no time to adapt to his own teammates, let alone the pace and style of the Premier League. He ended the game having helped us to not concede, which I think is his primary role in the team. He can be proud, he had a very unexpected debut (I'd be surprised if Marco was thinking of bringing him on at all today) and he wasn't on a losing side. Hopefully this'll be character-building.

Haiku Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 I think it was unfortunate for him to be called today. Being forward, you can't do much wrong, but he's a defensive midfielder! That's a lot of pressure for a newcomer, who hasn't got the chance to know the league and his teammates. Matt and Btay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Got his pocket pinched a few times and missed a few passes. Good wake up to the speed of the league and if he’s going to learn it - this was the game. I don’t think we are going to see the best of him for another few months to be honest. Defensively he was strong - I think he muscled benteke off the ball, easily, by the touchline and looked to hold a good position when it looked like crosses coming in. Some of his passing was crisp. Patience is needed here. London Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young man, new league, new culture, new teammates, hardly had a preseason after ACON, not 100% fit (which he said so himself)... I’m sure the plan would have been to start playing him around September time - much like Digne last season but we don’t have that luxury now with injuries and suspensions so we’ll need to be supportive and patient.

Bailey Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 It reminded my 5 a side game last week. Agreed to help out for a mate who didn't have enough players but they are in the top division whereas I earn my coin in the lowest league. Ball rolled back to me from kick off (weakly might I add) and there was already someone in my face, tackled me before I could clear it and slotted it home to be 1 up in less than 10 seconds. It wasn't quite as bad for the rest of the game but when you are used to a bit of time on the ball, its a massive shock when someone is in your face or breathing down your neck anytime it comes near you. Frustratingly just as I was getting used to the pace the game it finished and that frustration is how I imagine Gbamin felt yesterday and probably until the next training session. Sometimes it is better to be thrown in at the deep end though and I am sure he will learn a lot and learn quickly.

He was the best player in the championship last season, day one back in the premier league and he’s caught out by the pace and time of the PL.

I was having that same discussion with a villa supporter yesterday. They were naive and learnt the hard way. Grielish though got caught in similar fashion a few mins before he played a major part in Spurs second. I’m sure he’ll learn as will Gbamin I just hope it doesn’t cost us too many points in the mean time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydneyneil Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 I think he'll be fine. He looks like he has some good attributes and continued to look for the right pass.

SpartyBlue Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 I think it’s telling that in his first full game at Goodison nobody has commented about him. For a defensive mid that’s what you want. Couple of loose moments maybe but I thought he did his job well. Even when he doesn’t get to a ball first he’s excellent at knocking an opponent off stride and disrupting things. I’m encouraged.

I thought the game completely passed him by to be honest, Watford totally bossed the midfield and dominated us for large periods of the game, especially in the second half Not having a pop at the lad he has only been here 2 minutes and hasn’t had a preseason so it’s hardly surprising he is not up to speed Romey 1878 and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally, Gbamin probably wouldn’t have played until Lincoln in the cup but Schneiderlin’s suspension and Delph’s injury has denied us that luxury. I think he’ll be just fine though.

Matt Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 I only got to see bits and pieces considering I was working, but he did... ok.

Btay Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 I was actually pretty impressed. Biggest thing is how much he shows for the ball - after the first game I wouldn’t have been surprised if he eased into it and didn’t go looking for it. Seems an honest player - scraps well. I feel once he sharpens up the little loose moments - he will really dominate midfield. I remember fellani starting at Everton and he was very rough, this bloke has real potential. markjazzbassist and Shukes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In flashes you could see yesterday what we can look forward to - a player that will cover ground, can have a battle, he'll look to receive the ball at all times, is happy to pass the ball on but is equally as willing to move forward with it himself. Looks understandably rusty and like he's getting up to speed with PL football, but the signs are good. StevO and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
