The College Dropout Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Excellent finish. Don't know how he played otherwise but that was great. For the Murphy chance I don't know why he stopped playing. He would've been onside and available to square. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 He looks mentally ok for the first time in about 6 months which is massive for him and us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 He'll be crucial in the upcoming games because he's the only finisher we have and his pace will a,says cause issues. That goal yesterday will do loads for his confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hope we stick with him and Joselu as a pair, thought the link up and movement between them was really good first half and we saw not only a great finish from Gayle but a real desire to score more based on the way he bollocked others for not playing him in on a couple of occasions. Promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I’ve been critical of him this season, but he did well yesterday and a few Gayle-like finish. Would prefer to see him and Mitro as a pair as Joselu offers absolutely nowt, but I’m SO EXCITED that we’re playing 4-4-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promising. Agreed. Enjoyed both their performances yesterday. Gayle was very direct and a real threat, his finish was superb and he actually backed into his man and held the ball up well. I'm not sure on Joselu as he's bang average for me, but as a partnership its better than either starting alone. Rafa clearly doesn't trust Mitrovic so that's a none starter!

Infinitely Content Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I liked how in that first half anything that went into Man Utd's half, they really tried to make something of it with reasonable success. Usually starting with Joselu finding Gayle before support arrived. They were a problem for a decent team, so I'd start them both in the same positions next time out. Bringing Mitrovic on for Joselu earlier than yesterday if we haven't scored or need another one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Not only was he getting onto the end of flick ons himself, but he was also winning the ball and holding it up for others. He looked to be the complete forward yesterday and very much what he like for us in the Championship. If jay is him with his injury problems behind him, then he needs to be first choice.

Infinitely Content Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I'll reserve any conclusive judgement until I've seen him perform similarly against a variety of opposition, but signs are promising yesterday. Man Utd gave us far more space than a Watford or a Burnley would though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Was interesting to see Joselu play more withdrawn behind Gayle at times to be the target focal point and allow Gayle to get onto flicks or get behind and use his movement and pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Last two games really pleased with him in that he's actually looked like his old self charging around the pitch. Hopefully over his hamstring and mental problems as we need his goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 It so weird, he looked finished a couple of weeks ago. Looks like he's got over the mental issues with his injuries. I've had similar with my dodgy hip, where I was expecting pain from it because it was always at the back of my mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd gave us far more space than a Watford or a Burnley would though. No team is going to sit back against us totally- especially if they're at home. We are the type of side any team would expect 4 points from in a season. At the very worst 3. There will be space against more teams than less.

Plenty of players who show little flashes of talent or 'potential' get way more leeway off our fans than players who've actually shown they can contribute massively.

Greg Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 There's quite a big difference between someones form being up and down (Perez) to someone seemingly being unable to play the game effectively anymore due to not being able to run. Last two games the first since Gayle got injured in January he's looked like he's got over his mental problems. Good news as we need him to be scoring goals.
