Lush Vlad Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Held it up really well and actually ran the channels quite well at times. Still looks clumsy, slow and indecisive with the ball at feet. But he looked after the ball most of the time and let others get forward and join in the attack. The header looked like a good effort to me? I'm sure the keeper got a touch? It did seem like he could have brought it down or waited for it to drop. But he always seems keen to try and head it when he can. Love the mad bastad and I'm happy he got his goal. As it looked like it wasn't going to happen at one point. He had quite a few chances and near misses before that. We played two up top last night tbf Yep. I was surprised at that. Looked like a genuine 4-4-2.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Yeah the header was a great save, Mitro had to generate a fair amount of power too (since it came from behind him). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was the answer for finishing woes then all players would be doing this in training. He's a poor finisher end of and that won't change.

Look how Leicester dismantled their best team in the Champions League this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 He's not a finisher in one on ones. His goals will have to come mostly from headers, he's shit when he's through on goal with the ball at his feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A striker who can't do one on ones Well let's be honest, we've seen him for over a season now and he's yet to show any evidence that he can. I haven't seen much of Armstrong but I'll bet he can.

While I agree that he's a terrible finisher, saying that that won't change is madness. You only need to think back to Andy Carroll to know that. The point I'm getting at it is lots of people are expecting his finishing to change suddenly since we've stepped down a division and that simply can't happen. He needs a fundamental shift in his game for that to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs a fundamental shift in his game for that to happen. He won't necessarily beast defenders in the air either, championship defenders are usually slow not weak. The best argument for playing him is he'll hold the ball up better than Gayle. But then I'd argue we'd get a lot more out of Gayle if we had more pace out wide. Too easy for teams to stop the ball getting to the strikers at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading the conversion rate of those chances is something like 20% or something stupid. The guy came on as sub and got one chance.
