He had like 3-4 run like this ,but all ended in CP defenders legs even the goal :lol:
He was given a space he didn't get even in Segunda .was always just 1 vs 1 situation on the right side which suits him the best
was their best player when on the pitch

Monster power on this kid. I would of kept him over Munir and Samper over Roberto. Anyway good luck to the kid, hope we buy him back and he's ready to roll in a couple of years.

He's playing on Aston Villa of course he's going to get space. Teams aren't going to park buses against them obviously.

We finished last in Segunda last year and teams had no reason to park the bus and he didn't get such space .it is sort of different style of playing in PL

He'll continue to dribble past multiple players even without much space. His close control dribbling is very good too, it's not like he need space to burst ahead of his man. He's on many occasions just wazzled past multiple players surrounding him.

His issue have always been his over reliance on doing the same thing over and over again and not developing in other key aspects of his game, but it have to be said that the coaches he had and the overall environment of Barca B never helped either. Not many players have progressed substantially and Adama is just one of many.

If you give him space though, then you're making it easier for him, that's for sure.

That is actually his problem .Adama tried to dribble past 3-5 defenders like 5-7 times every game (I am exaggerating but you get my point).that get him gr8 record for numbers of dribbles completed .but that was actually a pseudo stat as he at the end will definitely lose the ball
When he has space he can complete dribbling without losing the ball ,it is a case that he doesn't have to use his head and decide whether or not to dribble .
He also showed tonight one of his main weakness as all his crosses was with his head down and totally inaccurate even the goal
His problem wasn't being one dimensional .many players can have successful career being like that .his issue is that he has one of the lowest game IQ I've ever seen .in the EPL and especially with mid table team like Aston Villa with so much space he can get away with it
Hopefully with a coach support and playing time he can learn and get better with his weaknesses

epl is spacy, his dribble doesn't mean anything. That's why he didn't score many in segunda.
problem is his off the ball movement. He doesn't move than messi.
