KaKa Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The good thing is I do recall admiring him for his desire and effort, so I'm sure he'll be useful, and could potentially improve once he gets playing. Due to injuries at the time he got thrown straight into the team and was alone upfront in one of Pards terrible setups that left the striker incredibly isolated. He did have some strength, athleticism and pace, and these are allvery useful attributes in this league. We see it time and time again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Well I doubt any other player could have scored the goal he got against QPR - at least not in the same manner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Best was way better. Would show real composure in front of goal. Riviere can't smell an opportunity. When one comes his way he panics and the finish is poor. He's that mate that's gagging to get with any bird. But rarely finds opportunity where others would normally feast. When he does find an opening he's so on edge, nervous, eager, he lacks the composure to seal the deal. Vicious circle continues. Seems a nice enough lad though. Works hard etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Agree his hold up play could be decent despite the fact he couldn't score for shit. Do feel harsh on him as he was unlucky on a few occasions which could have got us points from games - the penalty turned down against Man U at SJP (surprise fucking surprise) and his turning shot which was handballed but can't remember who this was against.

Unbelievable Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 He's just s***. End thread. This. I will never understand why we went for him really. Was pretty average in France and at an age where he probably wasn't going to substantially improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Looking forward to have him back, should bag a dozen or so goals for us this season, he's been sorely missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 He's fucking bobbins. Should score at least 1 goal until the end of the season, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 He's quick and can hold the ball up, probably an OK option as a late sub when we're looking to break but that's about it I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Carr's worst signing? It's not like his and Gouff's records were stellar in France. He was Monaco's leading goalscorer the season before he came here if I remember correctly. Also very hard to judge a player who came into the colossus of a goat f*%k that was last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I guess the thinking was that he's a relatively big lad who happens to be somewhat quick with his feet, too, so may do well in the Prem. But his shots have seemed as weak as LdJ's. His overall play has been okay, but we need to stop signing strikers who can't bang'em in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
