LFEE Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 For no know reason I have a funny feeling he will step up this season and become a key player for us. I just have that hunch that for some reason out of all our players he is the one that can step it up and considerably so over his Championship campaign. Will probably help that we'll have to play him in his proper position as a central forward rather than trying to make a number 10 out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Just not strong enough to influence games at this level I'm afraid. He needs to be coming off the bench imho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 sometimes i'd rather he just play as the main striker versus trying to make him into this #10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 He'll score 10+ this season if he stays fit. Never in a million years.....there's more chance of Stephen Hawkings running a marathon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Should have scored a real gilt-edged chance. Otherwise I thought he pressed quite well but didn't influence the match enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alijmitchell Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 He was bollocks and took that chance like a centre back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Was pap. Don't think he's a AM at all. So slow to pass, too many touches. Weak on the ball. Would probably rather De Jong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I don't think he should be playing this sport tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 He's no number ten and Rafa really needs to stop playing him off Gayle. It will never, ever work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 He'll be the one sacrificed but he was better than Gayle, Ritchie or Atsu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Rafa also needs to stop playing Gayle as a lone striker also. Ignoring the question marks whether he is good enough for this level one thing is for sure his hold up play and touch are not at the level to be playing as a lone striker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milburn Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 His older brother, Samuel, is playing on level 3 in Norway in front of an average home crowd of 300 in a tiny ski resort village in nowhere land. On his poor days Ayoze wouldn't make it on that team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I think we should try Joselu / Perez partnership first. It may works like Mitro / Perez like last year. In fact any combination other than Gayle / Perez would be an improvement. Gayle literally cannot create any space for Perez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Perez looks better with a big striker. Him and Gayle is a big no. Scored most of his goals last season when Mitro was on the pitch, don't think that's a coincidence. I'd be prepared to give him one last chance for a run of games behind Joselu.

Zero Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Aye, if that fails, we have to move on, say try Joselu / Gayle or de Jong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymag Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Aye, if that fails, we have to move on, say try Joselu / Gayle or de Jong. Aye, if that fails we will be adrift at the bottom of the league. Drop Perez now! He gives us very little going forward and his closing down, work rate and ability to keep possession are abysmal.

Newcastle Fan Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Its a funny one with Perez, he's got an eye for goal and a great touch, but he's not a striker and he's not an attacking midfielder, what the fuck do you do with him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop Perez now! He gives us very little going forward and his closing down, work rate and ability to keep possession are abysmal. I would be happy to drop Perez if we have real alternatives. I don't think Rafa will play two strikers upfront anyway e.g. Gayle and Joselu. The problem with Perez is he needs space to make anything happen, and he is too weak to hold up the ball under pressure. Thus it is very tricky to play him as no.10, and that's also why sometimes he played a lot better as a lone striker - he just move and run freely and find space himself, instead of forcing himself to survive in that no.10 position.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 The problem with Perez, as has been since he arrived, is that an opponent could sneeze from the other side of the pitch and he'd get knocked off the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great player when he doesn't have the chance to think about what he's doing. The moment he has time to think and a choice to make he fucks it up.

mozy Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 He was the best player in the front 4 yesterday, obviously that's not saying much. Joselu looks like a technical striker with clever movement so in theory that should help a player like Perez who is more of a second striker than a true #10.

Don't see Ayoze as a 10 at all. He needs space and won't find any between the lines. A substitute 9 imo. Diame was turbo crap in his cameo which only leaves Siem or a change in formation as a way forward imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
