mrmojorisin75 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 sammy's first touch vs. sholas first touch big plus for sammy imo, when the ball comes into him he just seems to kill it, the rest of his game will develop but that's a wonderful asset for an attacking player to have Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tachikoma Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Could be the "Bellamy-type" striker we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I thought he had a good game today. Didn't get a chance to do much but when he could get his head down and run with the ball he always managed to draw a corner out of them. Hope he keeps it up.

Si Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 He plays with confidence and freedom. Sounds like a tampax advert.

CPL Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Could be the "Bellamy-type" striker we need. No chance. Not for a good few years anyway. Agree, he needs to be more aggressive and although he is quick, he needs a tad bit more acceleration. Having said that I dont think you can compare the as they are different types of players.

Beren Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I know, right? Why would he choose such a low-resolution picture?! Anyway, just remembered how sad he looked when he looked substituted when the game was lost. Think he took the loss really personally (lots of inference from my part, here!) - which is nice to see (in a way). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Traps a ball incredibly well, already looks better technically than his brother. I'm really pleased for him, they're a great family and whatever I may think of Shola as a footballer, he's a good lad. Think we'll see a few moments of magic from Sammy throughout the season but he'll probably not get another start until the FA cup rounds if Obertan comes back fit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Would be amazing if an Ameobi turned out to be a genuine in demand talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VaVaVoom Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Looking like a very decent option off the bench. Can come on and run at defenders on either wing or through the middle. End product needs alot of work though. Composure to put a decent ball in the box or to actually strike the ball at goal with a bit of venom. Decent though. I'd have him, his brother and Best on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I honestly can't remember Shola's earliest performances for us so you're probably right but from the time I can remember his performances I can never remember having any confidence in him to either run with the ball, trap it, pick a pass, stay onside. He can do each of the aforementioned things but only on an incredible incosistent basis. Whenever Sammy was passed the ball at pace I braced myself because had it been Shola, he'd have lost the ball several times and he wouldn't have been able to go on the runs Sammy did. You may well be right about the Shola who started his career with us but for the last seven/eight seasons I've seen very little to convince me he's a good player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Shola seemed to lose it when he bulked up to his current boxer esque physique. He was better when he was a wiry youngster. However he was never quite as skinny as Sammy. I thought Sammy did okay on Saturday. Looked a little bit overawed but hardly surprising given it was his first start against such a decent side.

You may well be right about the Shola who started his career with us but for the last seven/eight seasons I've seen very little to convince me he's a good player Shola at the same age had the same unpredictability to him, don't forget that. And 100% true, his game seemed to have gone when he bulked up over the years. Shola was still a pretty strong finisher when he was younger, which is why he was getting the hype he was at that time. Sammy looked pretty good, he has pace and good dribbling ability - he's great from the bench and has the ability to spark something out of nothing.
