Not for me Augie, he’s played in at 10 a few times and has been completely anonymous. He’s way more of a threat and comfortable out wide.
I had similar thoughts during the game about him playing on the left, what an upgrade on the hapless Martinelli that would be.
As opposed to captain invisible ??

I dont deny that Nwanieri is doing better from right wing and am more than happy to leave him there, but what was being suggested was putting him onto the other wing as though he isnt a priority and imo he deserves more respect for what he is bringing to the team than his captain does. How about we compare premier league stats for the players concerned -
Martinelli 22 games 6 goals 3 assists
Nwanieri 15 games 3 goals 1 assist
Trossard 25 games 4 goals 5 assists
odeargod 17 games 2 goals 3 assists
Now lets be honest and look beyond just the numbers and acknowledge that (a) odeargod's appearances are nearly all starts plus (b) he is THE central figure in the team attacking, where as the others slated are by definition wing men and more peripheral and more dependent on others to get them into the games, and are often out of games if we are losing the midfield battle. At some stage there is gonna have to be a spotlight shone on how little the captain is bringing to this team, and stop with bollox excuses about having a baby
