I would hope Vlasic was Moyes' choice because Vlasic was signed when we were having our very good sequence of results. I think Benrahma may have been an agent driven signing approved by the dwarf purely because Benrahma doesn't fit my idea of what a Moyes player profile looks like.eskimo joe wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 7:08 pmTaking last season into consideration Antonio offers little other than his strength and the fear factor. So like you say, a good impact sub.Whiskyman wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 6:16 pm
Does make we wonder if Vlasic was actually a Moyes choice. I'm fairly sure Benrahma wasn't but if that is the case it makes his continued appearances a mystery.
I would like to see Vlasic given the extended sort of run Benrahma has been allowed. Vlasic appears to have a lot more about him in terms of awareness and now we have Scamacca as an alternative to the brain dead "Mikey" maybe we can use Antonio more as an impact sub from the bench.
Vlasic must be getting frustrated, especially as he has to sit and watch Benny perform his trick, he needs more starts, give him chance to gel better in the team, must suck the enthusiasm out of you when the likes of Benny are first choice over you.
Do you get the feeling that Moyes wouldn't start him, regardless of him being a better option than Benny merely because he wasn't his choice?
But of course this is pure speculation on my part and imo it's very odd Vlasic is continually overlooked in favour of Benrahma.
