We can teach him to run down the wing and cross

I don't think it's fair to judge players after a 1 - 2 appearances and in his defense he looked decent in his other appearances. I'd rather see him play against the Czech rather than Veseli as we know what we have with Veseli.

Same goes with Cekici. He should get another chance.

The critique of him being a bit dopey stretches to HNL. But as I said I'm willing to forsake his vulnerabilities if he can just sprint down the wing and cross a ball, we need to substitute something for our lack of quality and slow players with bad technique won't work.

I felt like Cekici actually seemed quite good certainly at odds with his club level, he was being held back by defensive duties. Our midfield is progressively improving (Ndoj, Bare (Bajrami)??, Cekici) isn't a bad crop to choose from when looking for technique. Bare especially offers grit and fight whilst having nice ball control and pass.


Bajrami could really be the missing link that joins this team together. We need someone to be able to carry the ball from midfield and open up space because we're just playing rugby up front.

Similar to a Jorginho for Chelsea. Someone who just distributes and carries the ball, would really settle our nervousness when being pressed and pressured. Kallaku showed a nice bit of technique towards the final whistle.
