Title: How did Solomon look against Hull?
Post by: Slaphead in Qatar on January 09, 2023, 04:15:44 PM
Did he get any game time? Was he promising?

He looked decent but he only got 15 mins. Did two successful dribbles and generally looked sprightly.

Really wasn't in the game enough to make any judgements so for the time being must remain behind others for a starting place.

He is a quality player, he won't be on the sidelines for long

I am very excited he's back. Hopefully he comes on around the 60th min v Chelsea.

He had a couple of exciting moments where he dribbled and beat his man, but he spent a lot of time in defensive positions behind the ball where he couldn't do a great deal.

But he's got genuine quality and offers something different to our other wide men. Hoping to see him feature more and more; he's also a potential goal threat.

The hope for the second
half of the season is that this attack will be really threatening:-

           Willian        Mitro        Soloman
                         Periera

With Wilson, James and Cairney on the bench as late impact subs.

All falls apart though if Mitro goes missing.

I thought he looked good in the few minutes he was on

Mostly just about gaining fitness for him but he did have a few nice touches that indicated he could cause problems for defenders and a selection headache for Marco.

It's a fresh start like a new player to watch,patience needed but could be a gem.

Given the seriousness of his injury i would not have any expectations for at least another month. Will hopefully first become a regular to come off the bench and subsequently develop into a starter toward the end of [February].

He put his foot on the gas once and ghosted around a player as if he wasn't there, which made us all sit up and take notice, but otherwise he was neat and tidy and just easing himself back in gently.

QuoteHe's needs more time to be in better condition to play more minutes," said Silva.

"One-on-one he is strong and has the skill to get past players when the space is close, in a similar way to what Willian can do. Manor is a similar profile he take players on and open gaps.

"Our other wingers like Bobby (De Cordova-Reid), Harry Wilson and Daniel James are different. They need space to play and it will be good for us to have Manor because he can play in different positions, like behind the striker.

"I hope in the second half of the season we will have him fully fit.

I think that's the first updated article I've found regarding how MS views Manor Solomon's style of play. So just wanted to share it here.

He's better at heading a football than Trevor Chalobah. Rather exceeded my (admittedly heightist) expectations.  Twice.
