Clearly only playing due to Nourry’s influence and directive.
Been woeful for months.
4m up in smoke. Add that to the celar bonfire. At least 6m down the drain. |  | | |  |

The last thing we actually needed. Lightweight. Not very good. Nice fella
How this lot survive in their jobs is beyond me. | | | |

I think there is a good player in there but it has become very evident that he's far too lightweight at the moment at this level. He's 2 inches taller than the 5 foot 5 Ilias Chair but Chair is very well built and has a low centre of gravity. I think Koki is a good technical player but he clearly needs to bulk up to ever really make it at this level. Plus I feel he is much better in the middle than out wide. Again, he can only do that if he has the strength and body mass to cope with it all.
I am far from writing him off but feel he needs to get physically a lot bigger muscle and strength wise to be a player of note next season. He could do with learning some martial arts as that would also help him with balance and deflection of impact on the field. |  |

Good to own a mistake. I thought he was a good signing for £2 million (I see some people are saying it was £4M which I very much hope isn't true)
And for the first few games back the player I thought I'd seen from the end of last season was there - sharp devastating bursts into the box, two footed, good shot.
But WOW.
He is just utterly utterly useless now. He serves absolutely no purpose at all.
A total and complete waste of space.
He seems to be far too deep, getting bullied and knocked over down by the halfway line. He can't pass, he can't dribble, he can't tackle. Spends most the time tripping over his own feet.
He is, in short, currently, an abject disaster. |  |

No, the reason JS picks him is that he has scored 3 goals, which is more than a lot of the other players. So, JS thinks he needs goals in the team as the team is struggling to score. Hence, Saito is being autopicked. It's nothing more sinister than that.
But we know it's because Burrell isn't there, pressing and stretching the defence for Saito or the others to run into.
Despite his goals, Saito needs to be dropped for Kohli (who we know from the left can score) and we are missing a partner for Kone. We should actually not play Morgan up front with him (like we did against Boro) but Vale and then have Morgan dropped for Edwards in the middle with Hayden. JCS and Dunne as the CB pairing now JCS is fit. On the right should be Smyth and then we hanker down like we are in a relegation battle of just a few years ago ... because on this form ... we are.
We need to be very hard to score against and try and get something at the other end, and play Warball of keep ball to waste time. Yes its got to that sad state. But it is what it is. [Post edited 9 Mar 20:54]

We seem to buy a lot of wingers who we end up saying are probably better in the middle. Might be an idea if we wanna play 4-3-3 Nourry game model buy wide players who are actually better out wide! | | | |

I don’t get why we signed him and said that at the time. His stats last year were pretty dreadful and we are apparently signing players based on data. Simple put, why spend 2M on a player that had a very good amount of game time with us and wasn’t very good? |  | | |

I honestly think a lot of it was Nourry trying to be popular with QPR twitter brigade who loved Koki | | | |

Another player like Varane who has regressed under Stephan. We were reminded relentlessly when Stephan was appointed how good he was in France with young players. Only player who has improved under him and had started at a very low base is Madsen. | | | |
