Beren Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I think he can still go on to be a really good striker for us, if he gets enough match time. If/when he gets a run of games, I'm fairly certain he'll have a good return of goals. Definite starter for Fulham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when he gets a run of games, I'm fairly certain he'll have a good return of goals. Definite starter for Fulham. That's the thing, I don't think the club/Pardew have faith in him as a starter. Third in line IMO (for some reason), and probably fourth when Ben Arfa is back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Had a good shot from outside the box and a good header both just wide, aswell as the disallowed goal. On another day he could have had a hat-trick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thought he was a bit poor. Miles better than Ba and Pete though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thought he was a bit poor. Miles better than Ba and Pete though. This. Seems to have no desire sometimes to me. Everyone bangs on about his workrate but he never imposes himself on defenders. Maybe we were spoilt by Carroll but I'd like to see him actually attack some crosses etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third in line IMO, and probably fourth when Ben Arfa is back. Agree. Which is a shame, because I really do think his link-up play makes us a much better attacking unit. His finishing, for the most, was shoddy tonight admittedly but he brought more to the team in terms of attacking in open play than any other striker has this season. It was only Scunthorpe, but this was true last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 We'll be in the Shit if we have to rely too much on best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 He will never be a great striker for us. Simple as that. He hasn't got the finishing, nor the footwork to be that. He's okay, better than most of our other strikers, but not much more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest H09 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The way I see it right now is that Best's work rate and movement gets him chances whereas Ba and Shola at the minute look like they could play for weeks and not have a shot. Best may be far from perfect but he's the most threatening of our front men as it stands. We really need to buy a good striker! FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 If Shola is going to be judged after Arsenal and Sunderland and Best after Scunthorpe then, yeah, Best probably will end up having more goal scoring opportunities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I actually thought he was okay today. He was. He was decent but nothing more.

There's more chance of him scoring consistently than the other strikers. But he looked very basic I will give you that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won the majority of headers he went in for, but this is pretty much all he can do. When he plays we spend the whole game hoofing it up to him anarl. Makes for grim viewing.

David Icke - Son of God Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 He's probably the best fit when it comes to strikers on the books at the moment because he's capable of holding the ball up better than Ba and Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Worked very very hard all night but just lacks a bit of quality. Difficult to criticise him overly tonight though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he's viewed in terms of his relative importance to the team, but I'd be worried if you're relying on him to score consistently. Why do you say that? [/genuine question] Based on tonight? He had a shocking performance from a goalscoring perspective, but we know he can finish from last season. A bit more match time, as I've said, and he'll get goals. No doubt in my mind. His goalscoring record last season was pretty handy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want to be relying on him to stick the ball in the net once every 3 games, or whatever. His best work came outside the box tonight.

I hope Pardew gives him the chance to prove you wrong/me right. For now we'll have to agree to disagree. Bit of a wait and see with this one. Watch this space. ... Also, I hate you.

Neil Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Not saying he's shite, like. But wouldn't want him as someone to be looking to to score regularly. So that's 8 in his next 10, then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
