Zaroury
My only complaint is why has Anass completely fell out of favour? I was excited to see him progress and develop this season but now he’s seemingly even behind Ramsey, Bruun Larsen and Odobert?
4 assists in midweek wasn’t enough to earn him more than 5 minutes today when the game was gone? and when he came on he was central midfield.
From one of our stand out rising stars last season to 6th choice left winger in months?
I’d have him over Koleosho personally, whilst Luca looks great and quick, I don’t think Koleosho looks like scoring at all nor has he produced crosses like those Anass is capable of. I think Luca will develop into a top player but right now his end product is iffy

From the looks of it, not as highly as we all first thought. There’s a reason we signed so many wingers and currently it seems to be because he didn’t think they could make the step up.
I must admit though, on current form I struggle to see who gets dropped for him to start? You have got to imagine Tresor starts at Left wing when up to match fitness etc…

Re: Zaroury
Well it can't be because Vinnie doesn't rate them as the club have resigned them on new contracts.
Re: Zaroury
Too many left wingers. Zaroury, Larsen, Tresor, Koleosho, Odobert, Ramsey (although is clearly better in the middle).
New 5 year deal as well this summer. Red card didn’t help but it’s all a bit bizarre.

Re: Zaroury
Yes, it's a strange one.
Arguably the most skilful in the squad with the ball at his feet and running at the full back.
Then again, we've only seen him do that in the Championship, but if he doesn't get the chance to show what he can do at this level, we're never gonna know.
I'll go with VK though, he sees them all close up in training.

He played really well in midweek. Surely that tells us he wasn't prepped to play today.
I expect him to be starting soon.

Re: Zaroury
I’m expecting him to come in on the left when Luca has a poor game. I didn’t see the game today so can’t comment on how he did.
From what we saw last season zaroury is a class act but Luca has had a flying start.
This tactic of bringing off both wingers may work in the championship not so sure it works in the prem. maybe that’s why they are stockpiled.

Re: Zaroury
VK said in a press conference recently that standards have been raised and that's why Brownhill wasn't in the team, he had to win his place back, I suspect he has said the same to Zaroury etc
Re: Zaroury
Zaroury doesn’t seem to even be first reserve for left wing though, he hasn’t played that position all season has he? Certainly started on the right when he came on at Forest.

Re: Zaroury
For me left wing priority order is Tresor, Koleosho, then the rest right it out for the other places
Re: Zaroury
How does he do that though when he’s not even being played wide left at all? He’s like 5th choice and being given little game time and even less left wing. 4 assists midweek and Ramsey, Odobert and JBL gets the nod ahead of him today? Gudmundsson and Tresor were ahead of him for the United game.Vegas Claret wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2023 10:32 pmVK said in a press conference recently that standards have been raised and that's why Brownhill wasn't in the team, he had to win his place back, I suspect he has said the same to Zaroury etc

Re: Zaroury
Part of the problem we are having is all the chopping and changing of positions and personnel. Can’t be good for the players to get into a rthymn. All a bit too experimental for me , maybe that should have been done in pre season.

He’s going to play regularly if anything to try and protect the asset value

Re: Zaroury
not sure mate, i'm just saying what VK said about Brownhill and assume he's applying the same rules. It's certainly strange but let's be honest, post World Cup Zaroury was nowhere near as good as pre-world cup ZarouryKRBFC wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2023 10:37 pmHow does he do that though when he’s not even being played wide left at all?

We have too many wide men who can't all be played to protect/increase their asset value
Re: Zaroury
Towards the end of last season Zaroury lost his way a little imo often drifting more inside that he used to. Koleosho is more direct and that’s why I think VK prefers him. I do wonder though if we should try starting with Zaroury and bring Koleosho on later in the game to go at them.

Re: Zaroury
I don’t think it’s really chopping and changing. Other than the failed experiment of Roberts at left back due to Kompany not wanting to play Taylor (and I think Vitinho probably would have played if not injured), I think it’s more down to The management team thinking differently this year. Last year it was all about our players being better than the opposition players so we weren’t concerned about how the set up and their strengths - which is why we got hammered by Sheff U. This year we seem to be changing our team because of the opposition (case in point yesterday, Ramsey playing left wing to try help stop Trippier who is their main creator and Koleosho moving right to get at Burn who is really a centre half playing at left back and less likely to get forward). Maybe we have been overthinking because we don’t believe going toe to toe sees us coming out on top against the better teams.Superjohnnyfrancis wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2023 10:38 pmPart of the problem we are having is all the chopping and changing of positions and personnel.

Re: Zaroury
He's getting better now. Had an awful start of the season and so did Benson. Lucky we have Koleosho JBG Tresor and co.
He will soon be starting again.

Re: Zaroury
Until I’ve seen otherwise, Zaroury and Benson are still our best wingers. I’d expect to see more of them both soon.
Koleosho has had a very good start, though and Odobert looks like a fine talent.

I think half the problem with our start is the fact VK has just pushed the players from last season out and started players in there place that have proved to be no better yet, it upsets the mood of the squad.

Re: Zaroury
Zaroury has got to start. I too am amazed that he started the season as a sub. The ban hasn't helped of course, but he was by far our most creative player all last season, even when he wasn't at his best, he occupied at least 2 defenders allowing space for others.
Although many on here gave him pelters for his crosses, they were actually into decent areas and it was our lack of men in the box or poor finishing which made them look bad

Re: Zaroury
Maybe he’s looked at the opening fixtures and yes he has been banned but thought bring him back against the lesser teams in the next batch of fixtures then he is fresh.

Add into this the awful passing around the back and a keeper that lets in 2 goals a game with a powder puff centre midfield and we’re not going to achieve much this season.

Zaroury totally bossed the game on Tuesday from a more central position. Perhaps that's where we will see him with Koleosho and Odobert as left wingers

Re: Zaroury
What on earth has Tresor done to be your first choice on the left?, he's way off the pace at present and up to press offered nothing .......SO FAR!. Its no coincidence Koleosho gets a lot of glowing reports from neutrals/ ex pro's pundits etc for his efforts on the left, maybe that's why Vinny is sticking with himNewcastleclaret93 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2023 10:37 pmFor me left wing priority order is Tresor, Koleosho, then the rest right it out for the other places

Re: Zaroury
Anass I believe along with Aro, Brownhill (to a letter extent seen as he’s involved now), and Manuel Benson can feel themselves rightly annoyed to be overlooked for players that I don’t feel are particularly any better than they are after doing so well for the team last season.
Re: Zaroury
Nope. But I wouldn't be basing his selection or otherwise on his appetite for tackling. In the same way I wouldn't for say Koleosho or Benson.

Disappointing lack of opportunity if not injured, oh well the fans will never forget his contribution last season.

Really disappointing, he should at least be on the bench for me. I presume (hope?!) that Benson is injured too.
I’m starting to think the squad is too big.

Re: Zaroury
Got pelters when I suggested he should go on loan. For exactly this reason. We have lots of wingers in the squad and I'd suggest others maybe more suited. If Redmond's not getting a game it's hardly surprising. Would have helped his development more than sitting on the bench or not being involved.

It’s to lopsided
It was pretty obvious before a ball was kicked - adding Tresor only added to that.
Zaroury should be rightfully ****** off. Dropped through no fault of his own.
I’m cheesed tbh. Two footed young winger that has a good shot on him as well, barely getting a kick now for what?
