Player Watch: Nacer Chadli

[THFCSPURS19]

Belgium fans not very happy with Chadli today it seems. Looks like some are questioning his place in their squad for the Euros.

 

[guy]

Could he turn it around like dembele has done this season? Feels like a very similar situation, on his day a world beater, all the talents there, just doesn't apply himself. Next season we may see chadli in beast mode!

 

[Ghost Hardware]

He was awful for Belgium tonight, if Belgium weren't so injury ravished I don't see how he gets near that team.

 

[DiamondLites]

His mentality since he returned from his family bereavement has been very laxidazical and it's very frustrating, as on his mettle he is a real force in that LWF position. The way he utterly destroyed Ivanovic last year was an example of how dominant he can be, and why it's so frustrating that he is so timid lately

I hope we persevere with him, Poch re ignites the fire and he regains his mojo as he is one of my favourite players

I wouldn't point to the death of has father as a measure of his performances.

There was an understandable dip after his dad died, but his form either side of that period is about the same.

 

[Kiedis]

He is frustrating. He's got all the tools to be absolutely unplayable, but he never seems to get into gear. He still manages to get a decent goal and assist tally, but outside that, he's just too anonymous.

And I say that as someone that's totally gay for Nacer.

I dont see a future for him here sadly - he is too inconsistent and in the games he is struggling he offers nothing to the team at all. If he can get more involved in games and improve his consistency then he would be a real asset but sadly I havent seen enough improvement in him to feel he is capable of it. I am happy to be proved wrong.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

He has showed just enough to warrant one more season, I think. Can be very handy in the squad for a CL season.

I think we're being overly harsh, and some of that probably stems from his really poor performances as a striker. He really hasn't had that many matches in his LWF position this season.

I think he's a great squad player, and if we're in CL, we have to have that, but he should never be deployed as a Kane alternative.

He strong on the ball, has a good finish, but he also seems to hesitate too often. He rarely loses the ball, but I think that's mainly because he's less adventurous. I think we could continue to improve him to be more forward thinking, and maybe he could have a Dembele resurgence.

 

[fletch82]

He's ok at best and that's if he keeps the bandages on
Unfortunately he normally takes them off more so this season than last as well.

Frustrating footballer , looks the part but refuses to use all the tools at his disposal

 

[danielneeds]

Been left on the stand-bye list for Belgium Euro squad.

Wonder whether this might make him consider his future with us?

[Hazelton]

He's off. If he's still here next season I'll be amazed.

 

[EQP]

Might be the thing that flips the switch for him. Him seeing his pals at the Euros might motivate him to work even harder. I would like nothing more than a fully motivated and inspired Chadli to stake his place In the team.

 

[yido_number1]

Good player and undoubted ability to come up with a goal. Unfortunately for him he doesn't have the tenacity of a Lamela, Son or Alli and isn't the playmaker that Eriksen is. I think we'd still get good money for him so wouldn't be surprised if he makes way for someone else.

If he does stay I wouldn't be disappointed but I'd want to see him develop more bite and desire when not on the ball.

 

[millsey]

You have to make sure the person you bring in to replace him is better than him. That's hard to do. And we have other positions that are far
More important right now. With Eriksen, Son, clint able to play his position, he may even be sold and not replaced

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Like Dembele before him, he's a better player than he realises.
Maybe this'll be the kick in the backside he needs to achieve his potential.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Very useful player but I wouldn't be surprised to see him leave at the end of the season.

 

[Snarfalicious]

Outside of Fazio, I'd say he's the most likely to be sold. It's unfortunate, he is a good player who knows how to score. Personally, I hope he stays in the Premier League and goes a side that will play him week in and out.

 

[philip]

Can't see him staying.

Has the build of a central midfielder but the game of a wide midfielder.

Not dynamic enough for Poch's system imo

 

[DCSPUR]

Poch likes him as a squad option and I think he is happy here...suspect he can get more out of his game but would be surprised if he left.

RE: those who will leave, more likely it will be Fazio, Yedlin and one of Carroll, Mason and Nabil
