Just a class above. Makes everything look so easy.

We’ve scored 20 goals in his first 4 games with us

Yeah but he's only scored 1 and assisted 4(?)!

Get him gone

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

How long before sides come up with a personalised plan for the man? Will he be man-marked? How will he cope? How will we adapt? If he continues to influence games as he looks like he will, I see a scenario where he is swarmed the instant he gets the ball. Think of the space this creates elsewhere for our lightening attack. One touch lay-off by Sangaré. Pass to Dams or Jensen. Bish, bash, bosh goal!

Exactly this. He’s a very important cog in a well oiled wheel.

IMO this won’t be an issue. As Jamie Redknapp said on Saturday, he’s 2 steps ahead of everyone else on the pitch. I suspect only the best of the best will be able to stop him.

His cross at the end of a lovely short corner move for Collins' second goal was a thing of beauty.

Certainly fooled a few Brum's players!

 

[stevil]

Some outrageous pieces of skill last night.

 

[GABS]

Twitter is a Sangare love-fest right now.

Will post the best bits here.

He raises a very good point, how did everyone else miss him, not like he was under the radar. Surely if you were a senior recruitment figure at somewhere like Spurs or Man U, or AV or anywhere else, you would be having that discussion. Long may it contnue, we make it look so easy, maybe it is.

Maybe they were well aware and decided he wasn't a big enough name for their history merchant fanbases?

I'm not sure many Premier League clubs missed him but their risk assessment probably thought he may be a one-season wonder, so wait and see. We've probably tracked him since he first popped up in Europe have had a lot more analysed data that made us able to decide early and act quickly.

But our extended tracking of Sangare does not protect against a 1 season wonder does it, only time will tell as you say. However, i could be wrong (again), but i still see this as a missed opportunity by others. Not convinced its about risk assessment given some of the high risk signings that they have made. This is not a one off, there are many examples over the past 10 years where this has happened, and will no doubt continue to happen, also replicated by Brighton and Muff. There is something fundamentally wrong with the bigger clubs processes if you ask me.

I think a lot of the big teams would rather we spend £40m on someone like him and take the risk and they'll then buy him for £80m if it works out

Probably we had data on a number of seasons and the statistical trajectory – certainly, we have the 'Giles Magic' of his and MB's risk assessment as opposed to uninformed caution... so they missed the opportunity... thank goodness!

 

[Pixelator]

Surely we missed an opportunity at 8 million.
Just like we could have got Thiago on the cheap from Ludgorets.
Giles out!

That's because them and their fans will not tolerate a work in progress. They want "names".

The journalist Rory Smith has said much the same thing in that a 'Big' club would rather see a 'Small' club gamble on a player at a lower price then jump on once the player has proven themselves in the PL.

 

[mundee4england]

Looked unbelievable again for 70 minutes today, tired a little after. Tacking, headers, forward aggressive passes, shooting, running, reading the game… really does appear to have it all!

 

[teesbee]

His feet are absolutely fantastic, and his ability to come up with the ball is a delight. He is also incredibly bendy.

 

[Hampshire Bee 2018]

Very very good again. Also very good at finding the ball on the edge of the box from set pieces. Will lead to a few goals.

 

[shaun]

Silk and steel.

 

[Stanley]

Tired towards the end but superb in first half particularly. He will flourish under KA and team. His close control amongst other attributes will lift us to another level.

 

[Gazza Bee]

Not quite as good as last week but if he played like that every week every top team would be in for him in Jan.

Was still excellent for the majority

One of the top teams has already signed him.

Ok let me rephrase - the ones capable of dropping 100m without batting an eyelid

 

[jlove]

Very good again... needs to work on his right foot, though, as we progress though the season opposition analysts will focus defending on forcing him to use his right.

 

[beeeehive]

The first half was wow, second half towards the end he battled but the whole team struggled a bit to keep it. He has two very good shots blocked today as well, some of his footwork was unreal.

One of them was with his right foot!

 

[Simon C]

That yellow card was pretty early in the game for someone who plays like him. I thought it was a sign of maturity how he played afterwards

 

[Les Beeavinu]

I thought he was a bit off it second half. A new level of intensity for him, good learning for him.

Anthony was the early booking

So it was!

The folks around us spent the second half chatting about how well he was doing holding himself back! Sometimes you watch a game but don't really know what happened!

You should be a referee then.
