Michel Ange Balikwisha

His runs are really good. I'd play him on the right and tell him to keep those up. Having a few safe players is fine in europe, but think he could equally be as dangerous with the quality runs he makes.

 

I think it's best use him as an impact sub now. He's looked a little cautious so far, not quite sure of himself and his role. His 2 appearances off the bench have been much brighter. If Engels gets his pass right last night he was in 1 on 1.

When we get his confidence and familiarity built up a bit more I think we can then give him a go starting on the right. Until then it's probably between Yang and Forrest.

 

Aye would happily get minutes in him there than Yang who will likely go in January.

 

Yep i would just continue to start him on the right. He was not good there but the same can be said about Yang and Forrest. Better to just let him play there and develop.

 

He has a lot of Maeda about him with his defensive running and strong pressing, but a far better first touch.

Think he could do well playing off Iheanacho.

Agree we should give him a run on the right, especially away in europe

 

Will be interesting to see if he gets the nod at the weekend. I can see him getting the start on the right.

 

Anyone think he could play as an attacking 8 on the left side of MF?

Nygren is the right sided attacking 8, I'd be trying Balikwisha as the left sided 8, his defensive attributes would be welcomed in that area of the pitch because Hatate is a man defensively in MF, also has the attacking attributes to play there too, threading balls to the wingers and striker, worth a shot I think

 

The right experiment has been and gone.

Wouldn’t be against him starting, see what he can do at home.
