Adama Traore

[JohnN]

No reason to play him on the left. He is a RW. Better than Dumbele and our starting RW.

Goddamn, I didn't say we have to play him there or that he isn't our best winger on rw. I would just like to see what he does if he played inverted. Perhaps like dembele, he feels more confident at a certain side, I don't know.
I am sure though Xavi has tried him there in training.

Adama played sometimes on the left for Wolves and he has the ability to cut inside. For some reason his technical ability is downplayed. You can't be an elite dribbler with just pace and power.

That said he is more comfortable on the right because he is a classical winger.

 

[Horatio]

This lad must think: Geez this Ligue is shite. The ease at which I pass opponents.

 

[FCMessi]

Not to mention RW is his weak side.

 

[feggydinho]

RW is actually his favorite side, and if u followed him in EPL, you'll know that he dribbles for fun with better success rate than what he's currently having in Spain. This guy had 234 successful dribbles sometime in 2021 and the second and third players (Mane and Allan Saint-Maximin) had 125 and 120. Dribbling was never his problem

True. I was wondering that today.. he never fails a dribble. Insane.

 

[Valdario]

we have the perfect combo in traore and dembele fighting for the same spot

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

Love watching his long dribbles through the middle where defenders can't cheat to one side like when he's on the right. Bilbao player pulled him down right outside Barca's box because he knew was about to dribble the entire pitch.

If Dembele can cross as well on the left as he does on the right, I'd rather have him there over Depay/Torres and Adama on the right.

Traore should use the time to learn some things from dembele, like looking up more times while crossing, reducing the times he tends to dribble down the sideline before hitting a cross, and combining more with his wing back. He'd be a more dangerous player if he can add this to his arsenal cause he's already really dangerous as it is

 

[Birdy]

Moral:
Don't judge by numbers alone

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

WOW did he have no strikers to cross to before?!

 

[El Gato]

I predict he'll be the first guy to rip Mendy a new one

 

[Devils]

Those runs he makes where he cuts into a central role and bursts through midfielders and defenders are just :wow:.

 

[Gnidrologist]

Yeah, he should do that more. The ball is being progressed faster and opening more options than the flank dribbles.
