ujpest doza Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Annoyed fuck out of me today. Moves for the ball and stops loads meaning we end up giving the ball away. Should have scored twice, once where he forgot he's got a left foot and the other saved by Hart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Not playing with the same work rate for me than at start of season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Would play him on the left, and Gouff up top. Remy is very average in the box, good outside it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Too reliant on him for goals - when he doesn't score we tend to lose as recent results indicate. Need others to start chipping in although a signing or two would certainly help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Just isn't a lone front man. He's a good footballer but just lacks the power to really occupy 2 centre halves and link play. He either needs a partner or to play on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I have to say that I'm having my doubts about him of late, maybe he was in a purple patch of form when he signed, just like Cisse. Who is the real Loic Remy, he was out of form in France before he joined QPR ? Or is it just as simple as we are using him ineffectively ? But he's had chances of late and not took them. I'm certainly not as bothered now as I was at the start of the season that he's likely not coming back next year. Hopefully he's just in a bit of a bad patch for form and normnal service will resume soon, if not, then I would rather we concentrate on developing our own players and playing them ahead of him tbh, in the meaningless end of season we have in store for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes just not thriving upfront atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pretty obvious really, as already mentioned by quite a few people he's just not a natural CF..... he's best when running at defenders so is much better on the left of a front 3 or playing off an actual CF. Either get him back on the left or buy an actual CF he can play off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I don't understand how a professional footballer can be so bad on their left foot or at least have so little confidence in their left foot. I have seen average amateur footballers who can kick the ball off both feet yet a high proportion of professional footballers can't seem to do it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 He has been decent in general and has something about him, but like Sissoko he is quite average as a footballer and relies on his physical attributes more than anything. If he doesn't sign I wouldn't be too gutted. He isn't a patch on Ba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Those who say that wouldn't be gutted if we don't sign him are kidding themselves. Mainly because you damn well we won't be signing anyone and be left with just Cisse who the manager doesn't have a clue how to use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I do want to sign him but I wouldn't be too gutted if we don't (well depends on the situation really). Don't think that would rule out us signing anyone else either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't sign I wouldn't be too gutted. He isn't a patch on Ba. Really? That's a tad harsh. He can't lead a line but he's brilliant when he's on either wing and can cut inside/overlap/ stealth behind a CB. If we can get De Jong as our main striker then maybe Pardew will shift him on the side which is his preferred position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Remy is an upgraded version of Ba imo. Both good goalscorers with good movement and the ability to hit a ball cleanly, but Remy is a tad more useful outside of the box, dribbles a bit better, has better stamina, and can play wide left without throwing the toys out of the pram. Both ultimately lacking as all-round footballers, and annoying to see Remy has an inconsistent touch that is often unnecessarily heavy, though I thought Ba's was generally worse when he was here.

Interpolic Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Remy seemed like just what we needed when we got him on loan, a forward who was happy playing on the left. Not his fault Cisse's confidence is shot and he's being played in a position where his back's often to goal, which doesn't suit him. If we bought a proper centre forward and stuck Remy on the left I think he'd be areet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yeah, it seems strange that we haven't really tried that but we've been here before with Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
