Official: Yoan Gouffran signs new contract with Goztepe


Recommended Posts

Gets himself into goalscoring positions, in his few cameo appearances lately he's looked more of a threat than Cisse. I'd be tempted to start him against Hull.

Should be a starter for me. His intelligence to check back, hold up the ball and try to work the opposition open instead of just driving the ball towards the goal using the shortest displacement distance is essential.

 

Additionally, he's strong, gets in good positions and good technique.

Nice way to put those two very bad misses in the previous two home games to one side. :thup:

 

Great cameo. Would love to see the lad score at SJP.

 

Was about to say the same thing. Shame really that his goal will be overshadowed by the great Ben Arfa performance. If Hatem wasn't on fire like he was today and Gouff scored the winner, I'm pretty sure people will talk about the winner and how he has redeemed himself after the two sitters he's had, especially the one against West Ham..

Deserves a start ahead of Papiss at the moment, would be good for both of them.

But it looks like Pardew just sees him as an off the bench player, and always has when the other forwards are fit.

If he had of managed to turn that one in against West Ham, we would be level on points with the league leaders  :okay:

 

If it makes you feel any better, had that happened and Agbonlahor turned in his sitter we'd probably be in exactly the same position as we are now :)

Ifs and buts again though. We should have had a penalty and Cabaye should have squared it. Overall, I'm satisfied with our points tally so far. It should be 9/12, but we've got what we deserve from every match so far, imo.

Yeah, that was pretty much what I was getting at, it's swings and roundabouts. Luck/decisions etc will generally even out eventually.

I also think that chance was a lot harder than it looked.  We have seen so many times where the ball is smacked over the bar.

 

He caught it perfectly and it was a great finish.  Compare it to the Eto'o 'tap in' where fair enough Barry got a foot across but he shouldn't have had a chance of reaching that.
