Cronky Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Hopefully he'll stay because he feels that Rafa is improving him as a player. He lost his way a bit last season, and I did wonder whether that was to do with being linked with the likes of Spurs. He didn't seem to have the same focus.

Wallsendmag Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Maybe just a bit chunky from the vacaciones. Aye a few too many nights down the Veronicas strip whilst he was back in Tenerife. Rafa will soon whip him into shape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Might not be a bad thing bulking up slightly, sometimes I do feel he is pushed off the ball too easily. Sterling is a good example, where despite his size, he has decent strength. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 He is usually very quick footed, but today he was clumsy with the ball, constantly struggling to get it out of his feet. He sees things quicker than most though, several didn't read his passes or intentions. He is too good for the Championship and I hope he absolutely destroys it.

Altamullan Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 There was an incident in the second half where he was steaming in to the six yard box, the ball floated in, keeper and two defenders all heading for it and he didn't challenge, or even attempt to. Just lifted his hands up in that pathetic gesture he did last game when the keeper blasted the ball away. Not sure if I missed something but it was very odd behaviour for a striker; like he didn't want to risk an impact/wasn't really giving 100%. Another (less shocking) occasion where he was free with the ball, with some and time to shoot (which was clearly the best option) in the inside left channel of 18 yard box, and he checked back and popped an ineffectual cross over instead. Not on it; head elsewhere? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Think he will be important for us this season but someone mentioned him bottling aerial challenges and that's one thing that irked me about him last season, seemed to back out of things when there was the potential to get knocked around a bit, needs to toughen up not just for the championship but for the premier league too, I think its one of the reasons his goal tallies aren't that impressive. Needs to push himself more to fulfill his potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Doesn't need to be a dominant physical presence. Just surprised by lack of determination, if this is anything other than a blip, then I see it as a potentially catastrophic problem in any position and, well, he may need to grow a pair...

I'd rather he'd go for everything and break a leg for the lads whether it's a friendly or even a kick about with his kids. Full blood, full time...anything else then he's a lazy cunt.

Slim Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I love Perez and hope he does well, but he really needs to prove himself this season. Needs to really punish the opposition and cover himself in glory. Don't think he has anything to prove tbh he is best striker at the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 He's probably the best footballer, I'd say Gayle is the best striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Perez is massively talented, but he has flaws. He is far too good for this level. Even against the Dutch team in a friendly he showed signs that he was several steps ahead of not only his team-mates but the opposition in terms of his thinking when on the pitch. He's a very intelligent footballer. I fear the pace and rigidity of the PL given his own slight frame and lack of real pace will prevent him form becoming a top-class player at that level, however. In a slower league where the emphasis is on technique and space/time etc. he will stand out like a sore thumb. You can see in him why Barcelona would be interested (if true) even though he is nowhere near their standard (at current). He has certain skills that they require to be part of their team. Vision, technical ability, intelligence, quick feet and goals and assists. He is a far more valuable asset than say Sissoko for example. In his short time here he has shown far more and that's without the power, pace and strength than Sissoko possesses which is seemingly a key criteria of a top level PL footballer these days...
