Dango Ouattara

[BEESRULE]

7 goals, 8 assists, 12 big chances created in 32 EPL games, played 25 minutes plus in only 27 of those, sensational numbers for his first season. Definitely not one footed BTW and plenty more to come.

 

[gbems92]

A few bad decisions passing when a shot was the obvious option but was really good apart from that

 

[hanworthbee]

So good he’ll singlehandedly bring wearing black boots back into fashion! Phenomenal player.

Looks like the all black boots have gone ?

 

[JANORAK]

Ajer is still a black boots man, I think.

 

[larrysigny]

I said this in the match thread but he needs to put in as much practice with his right foot as Schade and KLP clearly have with their lefts. He could've had a hattrick had he been more confident on it. That was one of the things that helped Mbeumo elevate his game into the big 6 bracket. Always stuns me how one-footed some very good players are.

I seem to remember that a few years back I said EVERY professional footballer should be able use both feet equally well - and I recall being shouted down by what seemed a majority on here. Glad to see you're all finally seeing the light.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Quality player who understands his own game and plays to his strengths. Uncomplicated, unflashy, efficient, effective. Understated, under-rated, under radar, thank god!

I dunno I’d say I’ve been, let’s say, chuntered down.

You need to add to that the five or so penalties he earned for us

Not when he took that penalty!!

But yes he is great and only going to get better.

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Pretty quiet on the attacking front or is that very harsh?

 

[TorbayBee]

Pretty quiet on the attacking front or is that very harsh?

Very harsh. It was an 16 man performance. Specifically he made some great runs and on 2 occasions a slightly better touch would have led to a goal.

 

[North London Bee]

Great one two for first goal

 

[Edmundo]

Pretty quiet on the attacking front or is that very harsh?

Very harsh as he played a key role in KLP's goal.

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Fair enough. I stand corrected.

 

[Old B]

What a goal it could have been if he had been able to score from that breakaway move, very much like one in the 4-0 United game. Never mind, don’t want all the excitement in Wk 1.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

He was of course up against one of the few Spurs players who put in a decent shift.

 

[jlove]

He was of course up against one of the few Spurs players who put in a decent shift.

… and Robertson was ‘moved about’ quite a lot by Ouattara’s movement that probably opened up more space between him and Senesi that we took great advantage of.

 

[PGH_Bee]

Dango is such a willing runner. Even when he's not having a direct impact on attacking sequences, his physicality is opening up space for other attackers.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Did well with some quick feet and a good couple of crosses on Sat.

But also very lazy defending for the one shot on target early second half that was well saved.

 

[jbee]

Need much more from him.

His defending has not been first rate all season.

 

[Deanos196]

Did he have a problem or injury today? Complete passenger first half rightfully hooked

 

[stomalomalus]

Thought he was awful today. Didn't track back, made the wrong decision far too often, and kept turning off and missing obvious options.

He needs to step up, big time.

 

[mundee4england]

Not great today, thought the threat of Anthony would make him step up but looked casual at times and not as hard working defensively as he has been before.

 

[hanworthbee]

Really poor today

 

[Jezybee]

Looked unwell and very low on energy. Hands on knees after 20mins and struggling to get up and down his wing.
Hope he’s ready to go and rip his former club a new one next weekend. Although, likely from the bench as Anthony deserves to start after Leeds and today.

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Piss poor today. Can't see him starting again until his defensive work rate improves.

I'm massively on the fence about him still. Early days this season however.

 

[ChessingtonBee]

Dango could not win a challenge today. Sunderland looked good in the early first half though - before they started looking to con the referee by dropping down injured all the time .

I forgot about that - he looked knackered after about fifteen minutes

 

[Bridge Bee]

Lack of fight off the ball and lack of quality on it. Keith has a decision to make.

 

[aslan]

Looked uninterested and was lucky to last til HT. Don't like digging out attitude, but I wasn't impressed.

 

[ApolloBeachTone]

More likely to do something spectacular than Jaidon Anthony but I think Anthony does the standard stuff, chasing, harrying, tackling etc more consistently hence him looking better today and starting at Leeds maybe.

 

[KcBee]

Defensively a shambles today. Work rate was poor and gave no support to Kayode

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Defensively a shambles today. Work rate was poor and gave no support to Kayode

However, the winger didn't do any defending so was difficult for him to be in n two places at one time.

 

[Bee(h)Iver]

Looked off it from the first minute. The game passed him by, and he made no real effort to raise his game. Hope everything is OK with him as such a disappointing performance surely just can’t be down to form.

 

[westy]

Not very good today, first touch was atrocious!

 

[Twickenhamben]

There’s a player there but he’s too inconsistent. Suspect he could fall behind Anthony and KLP in the pecking order (when Dioff starts to come through)

 

[shaun]

Lack of fight off the ball and lack of quality on it. Keith has a decision to make.

I think Dango has made the decision for him

 

[Garybaldbee]

Looked unwell and very low on energy. Hands on knees after 20mins and struggling to get up and down his wing.

So many of them seemed to be off the pace that I half wondered whether there'd been some illness in the squad and they were playing half fit. Probably not, but that's how far off it Dango and others looked.

 

[BEEcool]

Not looking great right now.

 

[Legriffin]

No , neither Thiago , 3 games in , a miss penalty and no goal to show, Was it a one season wonder or Brazil has done his confidence!!

 

[Canterbee]

No , neither Thiago , 3 games in , a miss penalty and no goal to show, Was it a one season wonder or Brazil has done his confidence!!

Utter tripe.

 

[Mick.C]

This team doesn’t have any weak links to the eye on paper.
But Dango is a mild concern, he has just started slowly, he’s a streaky player, hot, cold, very hot and tepid.
Talent for sure, the difference is this season the bench beckons with many more 45s like today as the strength in depth flexes its muscles.

 

[Downbeat Bee]

I certainly wondered that as well

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Yet everyone is commentating on how no goal Brobbey was a handful.

Quite right. We have depth now, so if he doesn't perform, he is benched. Not good enough so far this season, irrespective of the price tag.

 

[JCMcBee]

...oh how I hope he scores the winner in the last minute by the seaside next Saturday .... shut some of you lot up.

 

[kempy]

Thought exactly the same, especially when the 3 changes were made at HT.

 

[SunninghillBee]

Did clock a small disagreement between dango n kev 5 minutes before halftime. dango didn’t seem to want to let it go!
Let’s just be honest about the changes, they made a lot of difference.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Not impressing me this season.
