Ronaldo Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Shola would just fall down, smile, and appeal to the ref before being counted out. Then he'd get up and ask to swap shirts, before realising he isn't wearing one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tachikoma Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I always say the same thing when it comes to Shola. He's an extremely good finisher and absolutely nothing else. This. And as crazy as it sounds, I'd have Best in the pecking order ahead of him for exactly that. He can hold onto a ball and has a decent touch and whilst he isn't the greatest in the final third, he's a hell of alot less frustrating than Shola. We simply can't afford to have a player that can't hold onto the ball, especially if we defending a lead away from home. Agreed. Shola is absolutely useless at holding up the ball, but as a second striker I don't think he'd be that bad. I'd still rather have him over Best on any day, because playing a striker who isn't able to score simply defeats the whole point of playing strikers. Besides, if we were defending a lead away from home you'd put a midfielder on, not a striker. What on earth are you talking about? He has absolutely nothing required of a second striker. I mean instead of playing him as a traditional target man, play him as a striker who feeds off a target man. Shola has improved a fair bit in terms of his positional sense over the years, and he isn't that bad with the ball at his feet. I'm not saying he'll become immense just by tweaking his position a bit, but I can see him being more effective. Should have been less conservative tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 That 2nd goal we pure awesomness, the only way it would've been more awesome is if he was eating an apple while scoring it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Excellent at West Ham and even better today. His first touch is bad but when he actually gets the ball under control, he's fucking brilliant with it. A powerful and manful performance today capped with two well-taken goals.

hakka Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I've been a very harsh critic of Shola for a long time, but I can easily say that at the moment I'm very proud of him playing up front for us. He's been brilliant at times, hope it continues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
