Just me who thought he wasn't that great? He has quality on the ball, but positionally he was all over the place for a central midfielder, tiote was almost playing centre mid by himself at times. Showed promise with his long range efforts and obviously has talent, but he shouldn't be playing centre mid, leaves us far too exposed.

you're not alone.

No, you're right, he definitely didn't offer enough defensively/positionally and we missed Cabaye in that sense. He looks a good footballer though.

Showed the usual good touches and technique, but clearly not tactically nor 'morphologically' a central midfielder, despite his physique. Ideally he should be rivalling Ben Arfa for a spot on the starting line-up but at the moment neither of the two can get on the team sheet. Or at the very limit he could play on the right side, just to give the Obertan project a break.

Stick Vuckic in Best's position and replace Obertan with Ben Arfa, two problems solved.

While he's a tremendous footballer and a great prospect, I think Abeid was more suited for this one. Good debut but obviously naive at this level.

 

Would that have been a better choice? Feel stupid commenting when I didn't watch, but I would imagine Abeid in there would have been a ridiculously deep CM, isn't he used to lying deep? Would be stepping over Tiote's feet I would assume. Not to mention he's just as inexperienced, so naivety would still be a worry.

He isn't one for the future, he's one for right now. Needs to be in the 18 every week as far as I'm concerned.

 

Hope he isn't dropped against Bolton, would be extremely harsh. With Tiote and Cabaye on the pitch controlling the midfield, he could cause some real damage. Same goes for Ben Arfa too.

That's quite a solution.

Played well last night I thought and them 2 shots were absolutely terrific. As has been said, definitely needs to be in the matchday 18 all the time now. Would probably prefer him coming off the bench than Sammy, who I'd like to see go out on loan.

Vuckic was industrious moving forward but he didn't offer enough energy and protection, something that I think Abeid would have done as he's more of a rounded midfielder. I don't think Mehdi's quite as deep as Tiote either, he's more box-to-box than that, so I think they'd have worked well enough.

Can certainly hit a ball, had two great efforts and two ok ish ones.  Seemed to drift in and out of the game though, which is understandable given his age, inexperience and lack of competitive playing time.  Still a pretty decent full debut and there is a shit load of potential there.

 

Checked on chalkboard stats and he attempted and completed around half the amount of passes as Tiote, 30 odd to Tiote's 70 completed.  Sort of backs up the theory that he went AWOL for long periods.

 

Looks more of an attacking midfield player, wouldn't want to see him in a 4-4-2 again unless needs must. 

 

Promising.
