mighty__mag Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 After being away on holiday and finally catching up on the highlights from the friendlies, this lad needs to work on his finishing quite a bit, he had some great chances and some really easy goals had he been more clinical. I'm not having a dig at him but with a bit of work and when the real test starts in the league we will need him to take the sort of chances he missed. On the plus side Shelvey just kept putting the ball on the ground and putting him through with ease, so hopefully their understanding and a bit of work on Miggys finishing the pair will create plenty of chances.

toontownman Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Bruce won't know how to help him improve his finishing or how best to use him and he'll finish up on the bench His finishing is fine. It's just potentially on the verge of becoming a mental block. Once one goes in the monkey is off his back and everything will be better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just potentially on the verge of becoming a mental block. Once one goes in the monkey is off his back and everything will be better. A good manager won't focus on the goals, if he is doing his job right, then he will be causing enough problems. Same goes for Joelinton and Maximin. We had a similar situation with Perez, he got criticised a lot during his time here, but Rafa always persisted because he was doing a good job for the team. The goals are going to come if you have players doing the right things. Bruce just needs to harness them and not panic if they miss a few. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pace, amount of space he will create and his link up play is invaluable. The scoring will come. It is keeping the boo-boys and morons of his back thats difficult.

Benwell Lad Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I haven't heard a single fan criticise any aspect of his game, finishing included. Quite the opposite in fact. I think we've already seen the quality he possesses and what he brings to the team and know that goals will inevitably follow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Just needs to slam one in and he'll be flying after. His finishes at ATL with his left peg were brilliant. Some absolute cannons to some brilliant placed shots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Just needs to slam one in and he'll be flying after. His finishes at ATL with his left peg were brilliant. Some absolute cannons to some brilliant placed shots. Any idea of his conversion to shot ratio, maybe he's always missed a few in amongst the screamers?

He should be judged by how he plays, especially when in his better position. He be judged on goals and assists as are all forward players. That’s just the way it is and that’s why he’s already being criticised by the likes of Shearer and some others. Unfortunately that may be a problem with the manager he is currently under.

LIES Is that you Chopra? "Go enjoy yourself son" "do what you do best" "Give them ell" "you score today son" "keep your head up" "what the fuck is going on.. win the ball and put it in the net" All clearly qualify as instructions.

Happinesstan Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 as if he will even say anything to him. "See if you can get a little higher up the pitch", would be my guess. Then he'll whinge about his lack of defensive responsibilities, after we get violently violated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
