Dwight Gayle (now playing for Hibernian)


Recommended Posts

Guess it comes down to what you see as enough. The way I see it he scores a tap in that is dubious and gets disallowed and therefore counts for nothing. And then doesn't do anything really of note aside from that. Even if that goal stood, the statement 'he didn't do much' is hardly a one that warrants an outraged reaction or is even all that disagreeable  :lol:

 

Anyway, I'm sure we both don't want to go back and forth with this all evening, so have a good'n Kid :thup:

Gayle played pretty well today actually, not sure how anyone could think otherwise after seeing Joselu's performances in recent weeks.

 

Him, Ritchie and Atsu were all threatening first half. Everything went to s*** after that.

 

Crossed it too early too often for me. Should get to the byline more.

Thought Gayle did well overall, linked up well.  Should have made more of a couple of chances and of course did score a perfectly good goal.  Also might have had a chance to score again if he wasn't blatantly pushed over when almost clear on goal at the end (another amazing refereeing decision).

 

Agree, I'd keep him in the team.

Gayle looked lively and dangerous first half. Faded badly second, but was trying to get his head on the ridiculous lofted long balls he was supplied with. Choked on Shelvey's World class ball.

 

This, he offers more than anyone else up front so has to keep his place.

Gayle looked OK because we played 2 up...... how many other times will that happen ?

Yet Joselu looked like Joselu. This 2 up top argument is odd, 4-5-1 works and has always worked. It isn't without it's own issues but it's hardly a formation that automatically makes your strikers shite. Gayle looked OK because he knows how to play as a number 9.

I thought I was the only person that saw that push.....  it was ridiculous and right in the line of the assistant ref yet not deemed to be a foul????

 

I also thought that Gayle needs to sort his hair out, not sure what he was thinking about when he ran his comb through it and produced that mess before game....  :-)

Good sign if he's anywhere near back up to speed really. Shelvey feeding Gayle is still by far our best chance of getting enough goals.

 

Plus he's got the poacher's instinct, as the goal which was ruled offside shows.
