mrmojorisin75 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Awful today. Thought he was as lively myself, good positions etc. but wasn’t played in enough times. Did most of his best work a bit deeper mind... Just came in to ask if anyone else thinks Rafa has changed his game recently? Seems all over the pitch rather than in the channels and in behind, looks much better on the ball as well if I'm being honest. At the expense of goals though?

He was all over the pitch today, far too deep at times for my liking though. Murphy at one point ran toward their box and Shelvey was ahead of Gayle in getting forward!

Is this Rafa's answer to the fact he's not going to cut it as a 9 in the PL I wonder, in conjunction with the fact Gayle also appears to think his hamstrings are gone...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 A few times he could have ran in behind them or ran at them Today and he checked back, almost reluctant. Whether that’s confidence or not I’m not sure. He’s showing he has more to his game, but at what detriment to his true game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't get a look in for months with rumors of his head going over his hamstrings, suddenly he's back yet not leading the line but showing hitherto unbeforeseen sides to his game. No coincidence imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 He's very hit and miss, no consistency in his performances. Sometimes his link-up play is nice, sometime's it's terrible (against Brighton). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Watching his goals from the Championship again, about two thirds seem to be from the six yard box or very close by. Against the better defences in the PL, we've not been able to get in behind anything like as much, so those goals have disappeared. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 He seems absolutely bereft of confidence like. Not clinical. Snatching at chances. Even against Luton he wasn't doing the things a goal scoring forward should do. I think there's a premier league player in there somewhere, but he sure doesn't look like it at the minute. 3 chances today, one guilt edge and not once did he force a decent save out of Fabianski.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 If we stay up and if we get taken over I'd try and get 10-15 million for him from a top championship side, never going to be good enough at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 There’s something up with him beyond confidence. I don’t think he wants to be here for some reason and there were those rumours about him wanting to go to Wolves in the summer. He doesn’t really celebrate when he does actually score these days either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Very good runs and off the ball movement, but piss poor finishing. Pressed really well and won a few tussles. Looks devoid of any confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Shocking in front of goal today. Weak as piss header when unmarked that Fabianski saved easily. Miles off target header when unmarked and then a scuffed effort wide when through in the 2nd half. Should have had a hat trick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
