r0cafella Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Will be shocked if this guy gets 10 goals this season. Infact Ronaldo's prediction of our entire strikeforce getting less than 30 is looking pretty accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Thought he did alright, just no support, services or chances. He will be sick of playing for is in a couple of weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Makes good runs but will need service. This is a problem when Gouffran is one of our wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NobbyOhNobby Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 He's not looked great, but I think that's far more about Pardew and our lack of attacking tactics than him. New team, new league, awful manager, awful coaching. Fretless, and it's all Pardew's fault. If we'd had Les Ferdinand or Andy Cole in their pomp in this team with this system, they'd look sh!te as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 He's so isolated all game, absolutely no support from any of our midfield. Should've done better with his chance though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Might be ok with 2 up top but as a lone striker he is s***. This.. Although he never had a chance with our teams orders to play deep and cautious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Next game he will start upfront with De Jong much closer to him, and he'll be fine. I still think he has something about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.R. Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 He's got about as much presence as a faint memory of a cobweb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Thought he did alright, just no support, services or chances. He will be sick of playing for is in a couple of weeks. He looked sick after about 15 mins today. Still, at least those who are always moaning about Cisse might realise playing as an isolated striker with no service is a pretty thankless task with this tosser as a manager.

afar Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I don't think he did anything right at all today, not a huge amount of service but really bad performance against a poor team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Villa's half was frequently very sparse and there was often a huge gap between our midfield and strikeforce. That being said, I like to see my strikers trap a football now and again. Difficult to make a judgement when your manager is doing absolutely fuck all to help you, but he didn't look particularly special today. Totally snatched at that chance when Cabella slipped him in; Senderos was practically begging him to take a touch before he shot. Aesthetically looks the part, mind.

Varadi Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I may be overreacting but he looks pretty shite so far. Could say he looks every inch the 6 million pound striker in a world where Shane Long costs 12. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Doesn't look like he has any strengths, probably needs a partner but why buy him to play him alone upfront? Clearly not his game. Might work better where goof has been playing, goof would probably play better upfront as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 The only thing that has saved Pardew's bacon for a long time now is having a really good striker on a hot streak, I can't see anyone in the team doing a Ba or a first 15 games Cisse or a Remy. Without that kind of player up front this season it should highlight Pardews flaws even more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Someone like Long is suited to our style, despite what Joffrey reckons. May as well sign Welbeck tbh because at least with his pace and ability to half run with the ball we would stand a chance. Really are a team that needs a Remy or Ba a striker that can play / has pace / unpredictable. Riviere seems severely lacking in technical ability.
