It was a joke based off those most recent comments you made.

Hard to see how this kid gets in the team ahead of Bostock, Carvalho or even Johnson. I’ve seen all three of those and they can all trap and pass a football. Something Semedo is yet to show he can do.

His positioning is like a school child running around the playground. Useless.

I’ve never seen a professional footballer try to do so many things they patently don’t have the ability to do. Usually by the time they are pros, they know their technical limitations and take options they know they can do adequately (e.g. Yates). Semedo thinks he can bring balls down over his shoulder, take the ball on the turn, run with it etc and I’m yet to see evidence that he can even trap or pass a football.

It’s baffling.

Think he played the wrong role tonight. Not saying he’s the best option we have next to Watson but he shouldn’t be pushed as far forward as he was today.

Not sure why Lamouchi insists on forcing him into the team. Maybe his physicality.

He earned his opportunity with the second half against Cardiff. But anyone could see how the mdifield would lose it's balance with both him and Yates in it. The fact that Semedo went back to his usual anonymous performance just compounded the problem.

Well summed up. Not sure what Semedo is as a footballer.

Yates will get castigated and he isn't free of criticism of his limitations but he at least executes basics and carries out instruction from the coaching staff.

If Yates is the worst footballer in our squad and contributing what he is then we will be doing extremely well. Problem is, he isn't.

Yates should rightly get more leeway anyway. Every mistake made & lesson learned grows him for our benefit.

Semedos lessons won't do us a jot of good next season. All we've done is bring him on for someone else.

A poll


Who would we rather... lee Tomlin or Alfa semedo?????


NEXT

Tomlin operates in the same position as Carvalho, he's also about as good off the ball. Semedo comes from deep, different position, so flawed paralell.

Semedo/Silva/Yates/Sow.

You keep playing your football manager crap


Semedo comes from deep??? Have a word with yourself. He comes from planet f***ing Mars. He’s shit

Yates... mmm let me guess on your football manager game he would be a box to box midfielder yes?

What a load of tosh. Both wank. Both offer sod all

Watson is the only midfielder who has a specific ‘role’ and maybe the two winger switch from side to side

That’s it. It’s a 5 man midfield with grabban as the lone man

As simple as that gaffer

Did you address the fact Tomlin & Semedo don't play in the same position, its just I can't make much sense of most of that.

Isn't Tomlin also out for the season with a long term knee injury? Not sure how much he'd contribute in his current state.

Only in your little head do they not play in the same position poppet

For the record, Semedos a defensive midfielder & Tomlins an attacking midfielder. You asked which we'd prefer, implying the club would make a choice between two players who play in a different f***ing position.

We don't need football manager to deduce thats a flawed question given the clubs only going to make like for like choices & more importantly recruit to the strengths of their manager. Tomlin doesnt play to those.

I take it you didnt study there?

You ever been? Outside the university the place is a dump.

The road with the Brewdog and the O2 Academy is like a shit Sherwood high street.

What people are forgetting is the level of wages Tomlin will be on at Cardiff and i would expect that was the reason we did or could not have a go at keeping him because he is a very good player at this level

In the interests of debate - I've seen nothing in Semedo's attributes or positioning that suggest he's defensive or attacking. He's just kind of vaguely in midfield.
