First team squad discussion....George Friend

[typicalbrough 17]

Almost the definition of a nothing signing. Not good enough to force his way in as a right winger despite the fact that AA didn't show up for half season. AK even preferred to Bamford at right wing instead of him.

Even as a right back he couldn't force his way into the team meaning we instead loaned spurs fourth choice right back and even played a centre midfielder out of position instead of him.

He's almost everything I think is wrong with a lot of signings we've made over the years he's just here to make up numbers.

I must admit I have been disappointed with his contribution last season. I expected much more from him. I hope he turns it up a notch next season and becomes genuine competition for the right wing role.

hes not a rb why do we play him there? plays upfront for his country

[Maccarone 265]

Decent player if played in his best position, not sure where that is though.

[Aphex_Boro 1,444]

Decent squad player, happy to have him but he's never going to be a key player.

Never a truer word spoken.

Absolutely diabolical. He can maybe play up-front for Equatorial Guinea, but at right-back he is the definition of a headless chicken. Really awful- was Ipswich the home game where he came on with 4 minutes left and missed three sitters?

Genuinely think Nsue could have a good season next term. Think we'll be getting much more from him in the coming months.

[Red Rocket 244]

The lad is not a RB. I was a bit annoyed that Kalas took a lot of stick for the Bournemouth game when he's not a CH and he was left completely exposed by Nsue who was playing a completely different game. He can be a useful player but he is an attacker and we need to stop trying to make him defend because he's terrible at it.

[BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884]

But kalas is a centre half.

[Red Rocket 244]

Really? Why have we played him as a RB then? Was it because we didn't have anyone else so we've changed his position. I did assume he was a RB. He's a terrible CH if he is lol!

[Tom 2,492]

Nsue played RB quite a few games, and did pretty well for the most part. Thought he was especially good at home against Derby & Forest. As I said earlier, that one shocker against Bournemouth has everyone saying he's useless in that position

[Essuuaitch 330]

for me he,s about the level and ability of Whitehead was . Steady at best and  happy enough to call upon him in emergencies but thats as good as it gets .

[Red Rocket 244]

I do have horrific memories of the Bournemouth game. Nsue has a decent cross on him and he works well with Adomah. I just think he does better at RB when Boro are in cruise control and isn't so good when we're under pressure. I stand by the opinion he's a better attacker than he is a defender.

[HolgateHero 601]

When he came on at wembley I thought he changed the dynamic down the right side for the better. If he doesn't mind playing RB then I'd give him a run there and tell him to emulate gorgeous.
