buzza Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Would also like to see gayle on today, perhaps joselu in the nº10 position, as we have no counter attacking pace now through injuries... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 If our eyes don't deceive us (i.e. Gayle isn't completely knackered), then I think we've reason to be mildly optimistic about about this front-pairing. It's clear that neither of them are going to be prolific, but when they're playing anywhere close to their respective maximums, they have the potential to be balanced, functional and offer a goal threat. Joselu's hold up play can be canny enough, and he's tall enough to offer something in the air... all of which offers a fold to Gayle's pace and positioning. Really hope Rafa continues with them both, as it's bound to be more effective than Perez + a CF. Then with Shelvey and Merino at centre-mid, and two averageariffic wingers, we'll be middle-of-bottom-halfing all the way to the bank. :thup: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Gayle I can see getting 10 league goals. A brace possibly sometime. Joselu, not so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe less of an issue when Merino’s back, but still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe less of an issue when Merino’s back, but still. Which is why I think a front 2 of Perez/Mitrovic is still worth a shot at some point. Gayle is probably the best finisher we have but Mitrovic's hold up play is very good - easily as good as Joselu's, and Perez defensive capabilities are quite important to us - especially in games against better opposition - which is most teams. I did like the look of Gayle/Joselu at times mind fwiw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 3rd choice PL striker at best. Should only be brought on as fresh legs in the last 5 minutes of any match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Bringing absolutely nothing to the side for 2 months almost. Mitro is an arse but he will bring occasional sparks at the very least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
