xLiaaamx Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Thought he was unlucky with the close range one where he ghosted infront of the defender. There was also that really nice quick ball to Hayden early second half which got him in. Was always on the move and was actually an outlet at getting us up the pitch. Certainly better than what Diame offers in that role, which means he deserves the chance to keep at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 The one in the 2nd half he got contact for at point blank range, felt like it was easier for him to just head it in vs some outside of the boot acrobatic effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 He's another who had a good game and was only denied by last ditch defending and goalkeeping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 He needs to be the one collecting the final ball as he sure as hell can't deliver one. He tried at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Crappy goals aside, I thought this was one of his best performances this season. He was a constant threat to their defence when we got the ball in their penalty area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 He was excellent. Some real vigour and energy from him tonight and positioning was great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 He's a Striker. He always has been and its always been his best performances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Happy for him getting a couple tonight. Hopefully he adds a few more before the season is done because there's a quality player in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Double figures in all comps for the season. Not been quite good enough, but he's chipped in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Like Mitro, I expected more from him this season We know he can score goals in the Prem, I would be happy to have him as backup. But I am biased, hes one of my favourite players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Thought the second half was the best I've seen him play this season, tbh. He's a strange one. Looks extremely capable on occassions and I like that he proper loves scoring these days... but then on other occasions he looks disinterested and feeble. I'd definitely be looking to give him another shot next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I suspect he's not really suited to British football, but in Rafa we'll have a fine judge of that. If we had a PFM, I think we'd have to sell Perez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 He's not a no10. We liked him when he played up front in a better division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Not entirely sure where he'll fit in Rafa's long term plans. He's no #10, needs a big man to play off as a second striker. Given that Rafa doesn't like a target man up top I don't see it clicking for him here. A top class #10 is probably the most important need for us this summer. Absolutely essential that we get someone who can link the midfield and attack or else it'll be a season of Shelvey trying impossible balls over the top twenty times a game.

ExiledGeordie Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I'd imagine he'll be given a chance next season given he's played quite well in the premier league before. Would be ironic if he suddenly started performing again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just reading today that Rafa thinks he's still learning how to play positionally and he'll get better. If that means he's staying I'm not going to argue.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 He has been disappointing this season, but for some strange reason, I think he'll always perform better at a higher level and can see him being a key player for us in the PL. To a degree anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 We know he can score goals in the PL and that he can perform at this level so I'd be happy to keep him as a squad player. Diame has been more disappointing for me personally because he's more of a Champinhsip player than a PL one, its more his level basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I hope he stays but I feel he'll be sold in the summer. If we were in a more stable position I think he'd flourish in the prem, but as we're expecting big summer changes now that we're back with the big boys, I think he'll move on. He's a luxury player in that he has no solid position and can be inconsistent, despite his undoubted talent. As I said, I really hope he stays but my head says he'll be sacrificed for another striker/midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I think Rafa rates him enough to want to keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I honestly don't think Rafa will sell him. We're unlikely to see many bids for him due to his relatively poor season in the Championship, but he's shown enough in fits and starts to be a useful player for us. I think he's better off as a striker than a no.10, but Rafa seems to be working hard on his positioning and movement and I think eventually it'll pay off. He came good before and he will again, given time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
