Figures 1-0 Football Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 He just doesn’t look like he can strike a ball with any sort of power or conviction. Will win a few headers here and there, hold the ball up okay at times but he is just utterly useless at he main part of his job. If we had a someone with him in the Bellamy mould, who would score goals, it’d probably work and mask his obvious deficiencies. Thankfully we’ve bought a proper striker in, sadly, it’s far too late and we’ve dropped points because of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 If he can score those chances he won't cost only 5m to be honest. A 5m striker shouldn't start for any EPL team anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I don''t think he ever keeps hold of it. mostly he just flicks it in the blind hope of finding someone. Don't think I've seen him chest it down or keep it close to him with his feet once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Stoke fans claimed he was a very natural finisher that would get atleast 10 goals if he played all season. I know they have Berahino upfront, but to think Joselu was capable of double figures blows my mind. No wonder Hughes wanted rid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gottlob Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I don't think Joselu is that good at holding up the ball, and ironically I think when he's played his best for us he hasn't even provided that much of a focal point up front - when he first arrived he would drop into deeper and wider positions, and he did serve to bring Merino and Perez more into play. His all-round game has deteriorated as he's lost confidence. As a minor caveat in the whole striker debate, I had a look at some of the other teams' strikers after hearing last night that Benteke had scored only his second goal of the season. We have Joselu with 4 goals, Gayle with 3, and Perez with 2, and several other clubs haven't fared that much better. Crystal Palace have Zaha with 4, Sako with 3, and Benteke with 2; Huddersfield have Depoitre with 5 and Mounie with 4; for Stoke, Diouf has 5, Choupo-Moting 4, and Crouch 3; at Swansea Ayew has 5 and Abraham 4; West Brom have Rodriguez with 4, Rondon with 3, and Robson-Kanu 2; even Burnley only have Wood with 4, and Barnes and Vokes with 3 apiece. There's a number of teams scrapping about and switching things up without a regular goalscorer, although the figures alone don't convey chances wasted.

biggs Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Seen some shit forwards in my time and he is down there with Billy Rafferty and Ray Clarke for shitness ,wtf did he take the pen for as imho kennedy was having a stormer whilst he looked like was ready to ring samaritans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Fuck, now I'm starting to feel bad for this lad's miss the other night. Just in general feel terrible for him because he clearly has been lauded for his work rate and effort by so many people in and out of the club.

Altamullan Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I do hope he has someone (a Supemac or Micky Quinn type) to help him keep things in context plus tell him to stop thinking so much and just strike the ball. He is apparently a very good finisher/has the technical skill. A good couple of blasters would probably sort his head right out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footsoldier Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I’ve seen a ten year old girl kick the ball harder than Joselu. In haven’t seen any evidence that suggests he is a good finisher or that he has any ability to lead a line. Certainly not at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree we've had a lot of poor forwards over the years but I'm struggling to think of anybody worse than joselu who has played as many games.

Altamullan Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I quite liked Cordone... surprised that nobody has chucked Andreas Hairband into the mix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I don't hate him, not his fault he's playing main striker. But he's pretty weak to start. Would probs be okay as a sub striker for 15 mins at end of game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I quite liked Cordone... 2 goals in 21 games for us according to Wiki. Sure, it's not all about goals...but that's what Joselu is criticised for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
