Kanj Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Aye the touch is up for debate. Great shot to score. Had there net snap sound and all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Depends if he knew how far Rose was from him which i'm 50/50 on. It was such a calm finish i'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Get it out his feet, slide into the corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I love that after the touch he looks at the goalies position before slamming it home. Very composed. Also, prior to receiving the ball he has a quick look at where Rose is behind him, which may give validity to him having the touch away from where Rose is coming from.

It was a great first touch. Ok, just had another look, you could be right, just looked as if it slightly got away from him. No worries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 He looked far more imposing yesterday and certain parts of the second half he was battling and holding off etc. fantastic stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 early like but he looks the real deal to me, think it's Kaka saying he looks very mobile and comfortable on the ball for a big lad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he looked very confident on the finish as well, makes me think he might score a few this season. Just get the ball into his feet on the deck rather than launching long balls towards his head, and he will do fine I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 92% pass success from 25 passes, seems high for a striker given he has the least time on the ball before being closed down than anybody? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 If our front 3 became Almiron, Rondon and Joelinton in the old Perez role. Sheesh. We’d be potentially deadly. Think this guy really has the makings of a really good football player and in the right setup. He’s actually playing some incredible balls through.

TRon Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Front three of Carroll, Joelinton and Almiron wouldn't be bad either on the few occasions Carroll would actually be fit. Then you have Maximin and Gayle to throw in there as well as which isn't a disaster tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I feel really sorry for him, actually. Clearly a good player and has a really decent touch, shields the ball well... all of it in the centre circle because of how woefully set up we are. Poor cunt would probably have more fun back in the favelas cos playing up top for us under Bruce looks fucking awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 His career is already fucked. Clear there might be something there but never going to see it under this set up. Could be gone by the end of the season at this rate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Wont score more than 5 all season 40m worth of shit.

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 He's obviously got something about him, imo, but we're so far away from being set up to provide what he needs. Same with Almiron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
