xLiaaamx Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Seriously though, why would a striker who is chronically shoet of goals, short of confidence and has shown he can only score scuffed goals take a penalty? Surely Merino should have been taking it? Either way, pathetic pen and even worse chance missed towards the end. Yes, he's here cos Ashley won't spend real money but I don't understand how praising him for being so s*** is going to suddenly give him any talent. Like when Ba convinced Hatem to give Cisse the pen vs Norwich, Ben Arfa huffed but did it, and Cisse skied it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Needs to be the first out the door in the summer. Don't know what Stoke fans were thinking being sad to see him leave. Should have been popping the champagne white lightning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Not gonna lie, looking at his face on MOTD after missing the penalty, I did feel for him like, he just looked like a wounded puppy. He's a fragile guy man. It is what it is. he hasn't hidden and has given his all, so can't fault him, but just don't put yourself in that position. Got to be more self aware than that. Hope Slimani comes in and does amazing so the pressure can be taken off him, and hopefully he can come in for spot duty here and there and do well in that lesser role.

jackyboy Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Should have had a comfortable hat trick. Couldn't understand it when I saw he was taking the penalty with his confidence already shot to pieces. Not unless Rafa thought a goal may give him confidence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpelstiltskin Solano Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I am just praying Slimani bumps him out of the team but wouldn't be surprised to see Slimani on the bench and Joselu continuing to hold the fort Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Joselu tries hard, he's one of the good guys in the stream of bad-attitude players we've had over the years. For that I can't be overcritical of him. He is a 5m player, 2nd or 3rd choice at most other clubs. It's Ashley's incompetence not Joselu's that sees us in this position - bare that in mind.

St1pe Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 After the disappointment has passed a little I feel a tad sorry for him. He worked hard yesterday, won a ton of headers and tried to put himself about. He’s just truly awful in front of goal, he shouldn’t have been allowed anywhere near that penalty. He was smacking himself in the head for about 5 minutes after missing it. I haven’t seen the highlights yet but that chance in the second half looked dreadful.

Guest firetotheworks Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I was thinking exactly the same. The bloke puts everything in and comes up short, it's not his fault that he is who he is, it's Ashley's fault for putting us and him in a position where he's being relied upon to score the goals to keep us up. If he had a shite attitude or if he cowered away it would be a lot easier to scapegoat him, but I just can't do it when his application is always there. EDIT: Apart from the penalty, he shouldn't have taken it and if he was going to take it, he needed to put his foot through it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John P Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Can't bring myself to hate the guy, he looks genuinely hurt when he misses chances and his attitude can't be questioned. He's just not very good. .com also said that none of his career goals have been penalties, so pretty strange that he was on penalty duties. The camera didn't show who was taking it for ages and when it suddenly cut to Joselu standing over it, my heart just sank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought that wasn't a bad effort, it only just skimmed past the post from an angle. I know the commentator was saying he had to hit the target, but he was hitting the shot so it would clear the defender's block as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
