LRD Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Holy shit! Saw that pic when I open this thread! Anyways. Does a good amount of pressing the opposition, and has decent pace and strength. Jury's still out on his composure and finishing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Totally isolated. The poor bastard didn't stand a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Worked hard on his own up front today - looks to be physical, with good pace and touch. Needs some support though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I hope he isn't put in that role every game, 1) he doesn't deserve it, 2) he'll be burnt out by February imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Thought he was poor tbh We need to get players around him much quicker so he can lay it off much easier. It's a big ask for him to hold off two centre halfs and wait for support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Thought he did really well with hold the ball up and trying to bring others in when he had the support, but was extremely rash when shooting and crossing, Hopefully that was because it was his debut at home against the champions, a goal or 2 could change that.

TRon Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Totally isolated. The poor bastard didn't stand a chance. Welcome to Pardew's world of one player in the opposition half. Remy and Cisse say hi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 He'll be good if he gets service and support, I think. Not going to smash any records or anything, but could get 12 goals and have a hand in quite a few others. Play a proper winger every week and we'll see the best of him.

Anderson Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Arse dropped in the final third a few times. Can't see him turning out to be anything more than Gouffran MKII, albeit he'll have the luxury of playing in his actual position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Liked his pace, strength and tenacity. Worked the channels well at times, and was better at holding the ball up than I expected. Missed composure on the few occasions he had fashioned himself a shooting or crossing position. Also was far too isolated. All in all a fairly promising debut.

Minhosa Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Either way if he's our first choice striker we're going down. Agree. Standing a guy with dubious composure up top on his own is a recipe for disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Showed some brilliant strength and pace but just needed to have a bit of composure in the final third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckard 13 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 A good addition to the squad. Should never be burdened with having to be the main main for a 38 game season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His record certainly doesn't indicate that he's the next big thing though does it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Given time think this lad will do well her. I hope so. He's going to need a fuck load more bodies around him than he had today though, thats for sure. Thank god for Pardew's range of expansive football, eh?

bowlingcrofty Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Think we've found a striker with less composure than Obafemi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I thought he was pretty good, considering the opposition, Pardew and the fact that he was all alone there most of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
