OoOGazOoO Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I feel sorry for the lad, his talent and quality is there to see but he simply cannot be expected to perform miracles when all we are doing is playing hoof ball time after time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 The isolation is a problem. But he's not holding up the ball in any fashion anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 What's he meant to be holding the ball up for anyway? All those players sprinting to join or run beyond him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Funny how I got stick just last week for saying Perez isn't suited to this position and needs to be moved. You're not the only one with eyes mate. It's clear as day that Perez isn't a number 9. You got stick for saying he was completely useless at holding the ball up which is rubbish. He isn't the best, but he certainly is far from useless at doing that. He is much better utilized with the ball at his feet running at defenders, that's for sure.

There's rarely been a time where Ayoze has held the ball up well and i've thought "c'mon lads, give him an option." Riviere is better at it than him and Riviere is pretty pants at it himself.

The College Dropout Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 For me his lack of ability in holding it up is one of the biggest reasons he's not a main centre forward. It's perfectly reasonable to expect your striker to be able to hold chest high balls up once in a while. While it was a foul in that instance.. what happened to Falcao on Saturday happens to Ayoze 6x during a match at least. He's still a young lad and that might come with age. For now he needs to move position. Cabella and him upfront was the stupidest thing next to playing Raylor CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all our problems as a footballing unit, the horrendous coaching and lack of team spirit on show, Ayoze's inability to hold the ball up like a prime-time Aguero or Drogba is the last thing I would like at tbh. He's clearly immensely talented, and has been a breath of fresh air in an otherwise dull and depressing season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 You'd almost want him playing with De Jong and another Striker and being quite fluid with De Jong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not effective for the team or his own performances. He needs to be moved for the good of the team.

U2 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Full agreement that Ayoze needs to play off Riviere until Cisse returns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Everyone agrees Ayoze is better off the striker, the difference is we don't persist with the same old shit over and over again. We're all aware of it you don't have to repeat it over and over again, it's boring and tiring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Judging by his attributes I think that Ayoze is more of an AM than a striker. We'll need Riviere to lead the line who still hasn't convinced me he can make it at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I reckon it's a fairly decent PL team with Abeid/Anita/Sissoko behind Cabella/Riviere/Perez. It's certainly worth doing for the rest of the games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian seems to think he's a striker who shouldn't expect to receive chest height balls Was he really not a striker? He looks like one to me, albeit one not used to receiving the ball at chest height against a massive CB. Santoon too. I would also say he's a forward but so is Cronaldo and he isn't a striker either. Played upfront from Tenerife didn't he, was a forward. This lad He was/is a striker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather Anita at full back than Colback. Abeid would get 90 minutes with anyone with a semblance of a clue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Aye, I know Colback will start, forgot about that. Personally that would still be my three though. And I do think Ayoze a striker that shouldn't receive high balls, I don't think that's a mental thing to say. You've just got a fixed opinion about what a striker needs to do.

Zero Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 sissoko colback abeid are my choice. no disputes on the front 3 as I think Riviere can be a lot better than what he's shown so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 A striker has to be exceptional in other areas if he's going to regularly struggle with chest high balls. And then they probably wouldn't be a lone striker. Riviere is gash. It's just about getting the most of Cabella & Ayoze. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Riviere was like last years De-Jong in having absolutely no power in his shot at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always running whereas Colback usually stops and watches once he's passed the ball on. At the moment they should probably both he starting anyway, as we aren't scoring goals we should be packing the midfield to stop teams dominating possession.

The Prophet Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Perez was our best player yesterday but there's no way he should be leading the line on his own. He look desperately isolated at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Because he is isolated. I'm not sure if that precludes him playing up top by himself. Need to get players nearer to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I feel he'd more effective playing off another front man given he's very adept at causing problems from deep and out wide. The goal came from him running the channels, the fact Janmaat was our furthest player forward supporting him speaks volumes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given current squad depth I'm not surprised he is playing up top on his todd. I like him driving infield from the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
