Youan for me is like Boyle played central . Not as effective. Vente would get us goals too if played as a nine as well.

Good OP. An important player for us. And one that opposition teams in this league and fans do not relish coming on.
It was a great contribution on Saturday. Recent form certainly doesn't justify being called out individually after the slightest error, do we want to put the fear into one of the only players on the pitch that can take a risk and get us off our seats?
10 goals and 10 assists by March in a Hibs squad and still getting pelters for end product. Can't say players like that have grown on trees over the years.
We’ve been saying this about Vente all season.
He's played as a 9 enough times to have more goals than he had, never mind the minutes just behind the striker etc.
ALF was out for months and has played far fewer minutes yet has more league goals than him
I like Vente, but he needs to step up.
All these players have looked more effective since we improved the centre of midfield though, including Vente.
Vente's injury came at a really bad time for him, at a time when there were players looking like they'd create for him, and a team structure that allowed him to stay in position to get on the end of chances.
A lot of this season we didn't have a midfield we have now though.
He has played as a 9 though he's lacked decent service imo .
Alf is a very clever player who makes some great runs into the box , Vente I see more as a poacher who comes alive in the box who needs the right service, play him as a 9 and provide decent service for him and I'm convinced he'd score goals for us .
Boyle has barely played centrally this season. Youan played centrally for 35 minutes in one game at Easter Road. Last season a few times more when players were out injured.
Hardly enough data there to conclude Elie is better out wide. They are also different players. Elie is two footed and good in the air.
I actually thought Boyle was coming in more to the centre in quite a few of our games tbh .

Both Elie and Boyle have in common that they are quick , tricky and very good dribblers . Playing out wide I think they see more of the ball than they would playing central .
It's all about opinions I suppose though I think like Boyle we get more from Elie when he's out wide , 10 goals and 10 assists is very good for a winger and as the saying goes if somethings not broken.......
