Gallowgate Toon Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 That wasn't an easy chance at all man, the cross had some pace and was pretty high. Give it up, he's not bang out of form at all, his recent scoring record has been ok and some of performances of late have been much better. There is a middle ground you know.

Ronaldo Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 He's becoming a very limited player for us if he isn't scoring. We need to upgrade to a better all-rounder in the summer. Mind the service to him has been poor all season, that and playing him wide at times and the constant f***ing long ball. Would make far more sense to just stop pretending Jonas is a adequate player for the wide role. 1 decent cross into the box all game for him, man.

Agreed, I like Jonas but work-rate alone is not enough. He is absolutely awful on the ball these days and has been all season long. Keep him as a squad player but remove him from the first-team. He had time and space at one point in the game to put a cross in and he simply passed it into Dawson. How can anyone be so deficient in crossing is beyond me. He isn't even strong these days either, he can barely hold off a player or run with the ball well. He looks shot actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Would still have Demba Ba over him like. IMO he needs to work on coming deep and/or wide to offer more for the team. Like I said, flash Darren Bent. Hope he proves me wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I thought he actually had quite a good game considering. We just need to get players much closer to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yeah very isolated at times today, tough in a game like that where we don't create to many chances for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 He is not similar to Darren Bent. How is he not? His game is all about getting in behind the defence, movement off the ball and pure finishing with head or feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mous was close to him all the time. The balls where knocked too long but had he held it up a bit Mous was there for him no doubt. He only looked isolated because the ball never sticked.

Mole_Toonfan Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Because he actually participates in the build up unlike Bent and that touch and pass to Gouffran for our 2nd goal last week is something Bent is not capable of. He was good in the first half when we actually played quite close to him, he struggled when there was a massive gap between him and the rest.

His game is all about getting in behind the defence, movement off the ball and pure finishing with head or feet. Also, like Bent, he seems effective only when played as a lone striker. I don't think they're all that similar, but there certainly are comparisons to be made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with that which is why i now agree some quality competition would be nice. I do find these Bent comparisons a bit sickening though.

How embarrassing to see our own supporters making that comparison. If you can't see certain similarities because one is capable of something the other (arguably) isn't, then God help you.

Unbelievable Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 People are acting like Darren Bent is a league one plodder. He's scored over a goal in two and a half for most of his Premiership career.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppaz Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Worked hard and his hold up play was a lot better today which is the biggest weakness IMO. The isloation he has seen in the past could be helped by doing what he did today and chest, look for throw ins and corners as well as laying it off when under control to bring others in to the game. If he's only held his run for that split second when he went to early and the score could be so much different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

juniatmoko Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 he is no where near ba ability in term of movement & general link up play. basically if he keep missing his chance he is rubbish. that header should go in or hit target at least.

Guest TCD23 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Had an average match today. Dembele blocking off Sissoko lessened the feed to Cisse. He'll bounce back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
