Tachikoma Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 He'll never replicate what he was from February to May 2012 but there's a good solid 1 in 2 poacher in there somewhere. Would still start him ahead of shola any day of the week. Have you seen Shola's goal against Italy? Quite a prospect we've got in our hands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Sod off, Mole. He's in absolutely awful form and I've not said owt different. Remy's a much better footballer in fantastic form who can make chances where other players can't with his explosiveness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 He was 2nd top scorer in the Bundesliga just 2/3 years ago. I don't accept he can't be a productive player for us again, personally, but I know that many have already given up on him. For me it should right up the priority list of the management to get the most out of a formerly productive resource in the squad - especially considering the frugality of the club and the limited possibility of us spending £9 million on a striker again any time soon. I can accept people being at the limits of their frustration with him at this point, however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 So you don't think there's a solid 1 in 2 poacher in there? Not with the way he is playing. He is probably capable of it but some of his decision making has been horrific and I don't believe a 28 year old professional footballer should need to be told every training session that he shouldn't just run forwards every time we get the ball in the oppositions half. We haven't been the most creative side over recent times but he only makes it more difficult for his team mates with his ridiculous decision making/timing.

The College Dropout Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Not while we don't create chances for him, no. Remy seems to manage..... These excuses are getting boring now. Tbf the same people bemoaning chances now are the same people that bemoaned chance creation when Ba was scoring, when Ba left, when nobody was scoring. These people have made excuses for the lad close to 18 months. They will not stop now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf to Cisse. A lot of our goals come from outside the box. With HBA, Remy & Cabaye - they are very useful just outside the box, even if it's breaking the offside trap like Remy. Cisse doesn't understand the offside rule and is only decent outside the box on the volley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 A striker in such poor form is going to need a fair few decent chances to get back in any sort of groove. When Ba had his bad patch he looked equally toothless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say he's only decent outside the box on the volley sums up the quality of the criticism in this thread though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more worried that he isnt getting in the postions to score goals, if he was you know at some point he would take a chance and he can then build from there. As it stands chances arent even coming his way so until they do this problem of not scoring wont go away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
