His movement is good but I find him weak as piss and drops into midfield too much.

[ilikenewcastle]

At least we're all admitting this lad is awful, rather than putting all the blame on the coaches as we very often do.

[Guest firetotheworks]

One thing I would say is that him being one of the worst strikers we've had is way off like. He's shite, but he's not the worst that I've seen for us.

[thenige]

I've always had a soft spot for some of our 'cult' shocking strikers like Maric, Andersson and Luque.

 

Not this clown. It's like chain letters with him.

 

Change L to an N to make c.u.n.t.

 

Awful. Absolutely bloody awful.

This is someone whose only job is to score goals and hasn't even come close to doing it once and yet you've seen worse? Not only does he not score, he has no technical ability, doesn't defend effectively from the front, doesn't defend at set pieces or bring others into play. All he does is run around, Christ any fucker off the street with a bit of fitness can do that man.

He's rubbish, but off the top of my head Andersson, Georgiadis, Dalglish and Kuqi were worse. Scoring goals isn't a striker's only job and you know that, but obviously it's one of their main jobs. Still though, without that I still think the above were worse. People forget how bad Tomasson was after that miss in the opening game of the season. I desperately wanted Tomasson to be good and hindsight obviously shows that he was, but for us he was still very poor if we're purely going on goals.

[henke]

The past few years we've relied on lads like Ba and Remy who were able to conjure goals out of thin air. This guy doesn't have that ability, he'll probably go back to France and score a few goals. At the minute he's an average striker in an atrocious side.

[buzza]

His control is atrocious, a forward needs to be abke to cushion any pass at any pace if he has any chance to score, help the team or put other people in, this guy is rank...

Those mentioned were all awful players but each managed goals at the very least and didn't cost us 6m quid either. I don't think it's 100% his fault, he's a poor player with limited all-round ability, now low on confidence and he has come to a new club in a new country with probably the most unprofessional setup in the entire division. Not many would thrive under that.

Only Andersson out of those mentioned scored (4) in 27 and he cost £3m 17 years ago...Guivarch was £3.5 million 17 years ago too. It's an odd debate to have because obviously you'd want it to be something about our best strikers, but I don't think Riviere's the worst by a long shot.

Both Georgiadis and Dalglish managed cup goals I think. Pedantic I know, they were fucking awful players. To say Riviere is not the worst by a "long shot", agree to disagree I suppose. He's clearly one of the worst we've ever had. No ability to control a football or football brain whatsoever. The striker's equivalent to Obertan basically. He can run quite quickly, that's about his only asset and that sole attribute barely cuts it in Sunday league.

No way he is average

 

In this current side I'd say he is.

[Guest n4e]

Average would suggest he at least possess some form of threat as a striker.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Average in this side he said, which I'd possibly agree with. The standard is that low.

[Skeletor]

People use the word average far too often on here. He's shit.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Average in this side man.

[henke]

Ah I think I perhaps worded it wrong. By average I was trying to say he's on a par with Obertan, Sammy, Gouffran, Williamson...

[r0cafella]

Imagine selecting this guy over Ayoze 

 

We need a Carver smiley for such moments

[AyeDubbleYoo]

It was picking Gouffran that was the mistake really.

[Kanj]

leon best >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Riviere

[Guest firetotheworks]

Pffft, no shit! That goes without saying like.

[Tiresias]

riviere makes best look like zinedine zidane

[Karjala]

Theres some shite strikers been mentioned on here, but surely this lad has to be the worst. Looks most likely he will go the whole fucking season without a goal!

[Ronaldo]

Only Newcastle United under Mike Ashley could replace Shola Ameobi with someone worse.
