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.

Guest neesy111 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Two sitters missed in two games. Get the man on shooting practice ffs. 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. 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.

Yeah, I'm not saying the guy is a young Shearer or anything, just that it's a bit harsh to lay it on him for missing pretty much the only chance he had in a game he played 20 minutes or so in and in which we were already playing shit.

Klaus Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I think it is clear nobody expects him to be a 20 goal a season striker, but be could be the ideal partner for one imo. Sadly I don't see Rafa changing his 1 striker policy however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
