Quick Question Re : Ahmed Saad

Post: # 1245849Post Middo »

Reckon he's been a great pick up this year but am I being hard on the guy if I reckon he looks like he could go harder sometimes and maybe work a little harder and be more desperate when the ball is in his area....?

Needs to do more than just kick goals off the ground and come off the long walk for set shots.

He's doing a great job, could have kicked a few more goals but he's played less than 20 games

good pick up, hope he can learn to kick on the left......will be a much better player if he does

yeah, he has fantastic defensive pressure...

he just needs to work on his positioning around the ground.... stop trying to be a marking target, when we running with 3 talls (milney needs to remember this too at times)

He's doing fine. He and Milera have been good pick-ups and hopefully the best is yet to come.

His defensive pressure was absolutely fine.
Gram could take a lesson from him.

Tackles well landing almost 4/game and applies good forward pressure and so I think you area bit harsh.

For someone with his number o games playing he is going ok.

Room for improvement no doubt. ie has to learn when to give to a team-mate more.

Maybe if he chased at full pelt from the get go instead of jogging and then speeding up when the opposition player with the ball is taking his time to get rid of it would be a good thing for Saad to do.

Yes, he can go harder than he now does.

It's good that it's a night match. He can have a bit to eat from 6pm. Not sure if he's following Ramadan properly, even if he did eat during the day last week he may have felt a bit guilty and not eaten properly.
