Liel Abada

Got to remember he's only a young lad.. lots to improve on but one thing for sure is he can finish and knows where the goal is...

 

Second time, first time was the assist for Kyogo

 

I'll give him a lot of leeway for different reasons. He's a young lad, his attitude and effort is unquestionable, and a he's been heavily relied upon almost immediately after arriving. There's a lot of work needed in terms of his ball retainment, it's very frustrating the number of moves that break down when it eventually reaches him.

That said, was his persistence that lead to first goal, and was a great finish for his own.

Think he'll gradually improve where needed with the right coaching.

 

sloppy at the first goal, should have just punted the ball. but a goal and assist so cant complain much.

 

Spot on

 

That finish btw, watching it back on the highlights on BT Sport, that finish is absolutely inch perfect.

 

Didi Agathe in the Dam..

 

It’s just mind blowing how undeserved the criticism is. Rather than come on here and saying well done to the lad, people would rather tear strips off him. He’s been through a rough patch and our supporters don’t lift him up after a good performance when he’s been down.

Great game by the lad and while you didn’t shut up your critics, don’t worry about them, keep on your path to improvement and greatness. There’s plenty who see what you are bringing.

 

He’s been 20 for a month ffs! The fact he’s making an impact in Europe and in the league is the sign of a good player

 

I know, it’s crazy right!

Everyone giving it to him and saying they can’t wait to get Forrest back, take a look at Forrest’s 20yo old season - played 43, goals 9, assists 7 and none of those in Europe.

Then you look at what Abada is doing - played 21, goals 7, assists 5 (3 goals 2 assists in Europe).

Just let the guy develop.

 

Strange player in the way that as a young player you generally don’t seem to have that finishing touch but may have things such as being able to take a player on etc

Abada almost in reverse as his awareness in the box in terms of anticipation, movement, you always know if a ball comes in from the left he will be getting across a defender.

We’re having to teach abada how to beat a man almost, however these European away games are perfect for him as he has a lot more space to use his pace and movement. He has done well in all of these games in my opinion.

At 19 he has a lot to learn and i can even see him going through the middle Kyogo-esque later on in his career however, a great option to have as long as he isnt playing week-in, week-out.

 

The finish was one he had to bury as well like Kyogo at Ibrox who missed as he should really have passed it back into the path of Kyogo for a tap in as it was a bit of a tight angle to be shooting from.

 

While "technically" he's at fault at the 1st goal he's probably only carrying out the managers instructions to pass out from defence. If he had punted it up the line and lost possession then they came up the park and scored anyway he would probably have gotten a bollocking from the manager. The execution of the pass was poor but the thinking behind the decision was probably all down to how he is being coached. A wee bit harsh to lay the blame solely at him.

 

Natural finisher, hungry, hard worker. Slightly raw but that's to be expected. Gonna kick on playing under Ange

The bhoys finishing, crossing and movement off the ball is top class, his link up play and dribbling needs work, hopefully he gets the patience needed too flourish... hard too get that at a club like ours that demands instant success.

his good far outweighs his bad.
