triggs Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Need an upgrade definitely but hope it's someone that makes similar runs to him that we get. Even though his finishing has been terrible, a lot of our chances are coming from Shelvey picking him out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though his finishing has been terrible, a lot of our chances are coming from Shelvey picking him out That is a very good point. Shelvey seems to instinctively know where Gayle will be, he needs him in the team to play at a level we need him to. With any new striker that comes in there will be a period to adapt if Shelvey is still the driving force behind our attacking play next season (I'm not convinced he will be).

Nattfare Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Sadly Gayle's technique lets him down a bit too. He needs too many touches to control the ball when Shelvey finds his runs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Did they even replay that wanky left-footed effort? Looked like his first touch was decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 The shot was pathetic. The equivalent of backing out of a tackle or not tracking back and letting the full-back fly past you. Was just laziness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Perez hit an appalling one as well, he always fluffs it when he tries the placement... much better when he only has a second to hit it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Imagine being 10th in the league with Gayle, Perez and Joselu as the three people who've spearheaded your attack all year. #BestLeagueInDaWorld I don't mind Gayle at all, to be honest. His movement is great but it's clear his confidence is absolutely shot and has been for some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I like him as well, I do think he has potential to play in this league better than he is at the moment. If we’re clearing out strikers he’s probably the one I’d like to keep the most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His movement is great but it's clear his confidence is absolutely shot and has been for some time. I'm all for shitting on our players and division, but I think I've come to the realisation that most everyone is shit. All the good and/or promising players are in the top 4-6 teams in every division. 10th place in Spain have the following strikeforce: Sergi Enrich Kike Charles They've scored 41 goals this season. Those players have 3/7/7 goals respectively. Eeeryone is shit apart from the big money lads. (And I agree with Gayle, but I would probably get rid on the basis of him being a confidence player. I don't think he'll ever be starting week-in week-out, so he's pretty useless to us) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pressure to score, just a pacy outlet for counter-attacking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I reckon it'd be better to have a sub who was fast and could score too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I reckon it'd be better to have a sub who was fast and could score too. Point is, he can score, but the pressure/lack of confidence is affecting his composure. Remove the pressure and he'll likely have more success. After all I'm pretty sure that is how he made his name. Obviously if we can sell him for £15 million and get a pacy forward who can score and will sit on the bench until the last 15 mins, for free, then that's a no-brainer.

SEMTEX Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I do not believe that us winning a game by a few goals is going to help him find his shooting boots. I don't think there is a solution other than him starting every damn game. And I'm not sure that's a risk I want us to take anymore. Saying that, we'll sign nee fucker, so given the options, I would prefer he just started every damn game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that he can be effective as that sub. No need to spend £20 million on that sub. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I reckon it'd be better to have a sub who was fast and could score too. It would be nice to have one of those in the first team never mind as a sub. They usually cost a fortune though, and generally the best teams are also in for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
