Bit harsh in a few areas I feel Alf.
If Semedo had been available as a sub to come on last night he would have done much better than Silva did. His ability to get around the pitch and to hold and carry the ball was what was lacking in the last 10 minutes last night. Hes not the finished article but he's going to be playing at a much higher level than we will be in 5 years time. The thing is, we've not built the team around him so Sabri can take him out as and when reqd.
Silva loses the ball in possession which is frustrating but has quality. His delivery in set plays is absolutely excellent which is important when you have big lads in the team who are a goal threat. OK signing.
You cant blame Ameobi for not looking comfortable playing in-field last night. His best performances have been out wide and he's contributed significantly in games. That's his position. He looks an excellent singing to me and without him, I doubt we would've had the start to the season we have had.
I suspect Mir was signed as a low cost third choice striker and the club failed to land their choice of a 2nd choice player. I think Walker would've contributed more so cant understnd why Mir's here on loan and Tyler's not.
But look at our recent injury list - Darickwa, Jenko, Dawson, Beno, Hef, Semedo, Bostock, Yates, Mir and Carvalho at the start of the season. That would cripple any other club, but look at the start we've made. It cant be all bad.
