Wallsendmag Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Gouffran is a recognised striker in the same sense that Steven Taylor is a recognised striker. Far from his greatest fan but I thought Gouffran played well.last night. The whole match revolved around Shelvey but Richie was brilliant in the first half and Gouffran took his goal very well.

Mistle17 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Should look to nail Rotherham on Saturday with this guy back. Such a good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Steven Taylor used to be a striker. He's not anymore. The comparison was absolutely bang on, one of the best I've seen on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Said it before, there's no English player better than him in the middle when he's bothered. Should be a regular starter for England now. He's the player that actually would make all our pace-for-brains forwards actually dangerous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the player that actually would make all our pace-for-brains forwards actually dangerous. We just ignoring last season? ? When he first arrived and was obviously up for it, he was fantastic no bones about it. His passing and vision was peerless amongst other English players even in the PL. Not sure what your point is.

xLiaaamx Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 He's not useful when you go ten men behind the ball. Which is what we did far too often under McClaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Wonder how Gouff would perform as a No 10 Given the fact he's got absolutely nothing at all needed to play the role effectively I wouldn't waste your time on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Think he was a striker for Bordeaux? Obviously took his goal well tonight too. I don't mind Goufran tbh, I doubt he's a Championship quality striker nowadays though. If championship defences are as shit as Birmingham's he is. Scored, hit the post, and won a pen. Virtually terrorised them, Brum fans must think he's the championship equivalent of Aguero. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 He's a forward, always has been. Against the majority of defences we'll face this season I think he could do OK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Wasn't it not so long ago in here that people were saying Shelvey wasn't that important and could be easily replaced? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Wasn't it not so long ago in here that people were saying Shelvey wasn't that important and could be easily replaced? aye. "He needs the ball to be at his feet before deciding where to pass it" It was pretty clear early on that he was the best player in the league and that we'd be fucked without him like.

"He needs the ball to be at his feet before deciding where to pass it" It was pretty clear early on that he was the best player in the league and that we'd be fucked without him like. It's a glaring hole in our squad though. We've got some sort of cover for every other position, but when he's out we end up shoehorning defensive midfielders into an already over defensive line up. Really knackers our football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always clear he was our best and most important player this season Aye I mentioned it, strictly in regards to the PL. Nobody's doubted him in this league after game 3.
