Not much we could have done as he's been injured most of the season.
More unsubstantiated nonsense. If you can back up the claims he was only half fit I'll run with it, however without such evidence my position is he should've started some of those nine games and that's only the beginning.
He's played about 180 mins of league football, and has been injured for over half the season.
It's interesting reading the observations of Black on Traore and it probably mirrors everyone who has had to coach him. On a 2 min YouTube clip he is everything you want in a winger. But what all the coaches have clearly identified is that without the ball he can be a liability. It's a part of his game that he has to improve because all of this talk of anyone coming in for him is worthless because all scouts will see the same thing. We all know what he is capable off going forward and if he can add work rate, positional sense and tracking back to his game he'll be lethal. He certainly deserves an opportunity because those who are currently keeping him our are every bit as useless at their defensive duties. It will be a pleasant change to see him and Grealish play tomorrow.
He's clearly got bags of potential but needed good coaching, a side with structure that allowed him to work to his strengths and plenty of game time.No wonder he wants out of this farce.
