tinoasprilla Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Give him 10 games playing off Wilson as a ten then decide. Thats what is in my head. Still think he would be miles better in a team that plays more on the front foot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 He's just so clunky, he doesn't really seem to excel at anything. Most players are either good in the air, or they're fast, or they're technically gifted. He isn't any of those. He has no natural attribute, apart from being a really nice fellow which doesn't really make much of a difference when you're a premier league footballer. I would have loved to see him fit the price tag we paid, but I honestly think we'd be a better team without him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED209 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I thought he did alright last night Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh74 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Apart from the overhead air kick he did alright. Always found somebody with a pass,couple of occasions he took too many touches but otherwise always moved the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 He held onto the ball well, turned and found a man more often than he usually does. I noticed once or twice he could have done with a bit more belief in himself and played a through ball that split second sooner, or tried to run forward and beat his man. Can't complain with last night from him, given what we've seen from him over the last 18 months anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Its really hard watching him play upfront, he adds so little to the team going forward, you can pick any striker from the lower leagues and he would do the same or better than him.

Aiston Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 We look better with him on the pitch, out wide. He's able to get involved far more and he is good at keeping the ball and passing it to a teammate, unless Hayden falls asleep and cuts off Joelinton's only pass route.

Cronky Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I can't fault his attitude, and he's earned his place in the side. But that position of withdrawn striker can make a big difference to how a team functions. Someone with more pace and a better first touch is who we need to look for, long term. And yeah, I know that's difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 was watching him off the ball. honestly, the cunt was just jogging around. no urgency at all. no closing down and putting the opposition under pressure. it's not his fault he's shit, but there's absolutely no excuse for his lack of effort. he should be dropped for that alone. its obvious bruce is either pig thick, or under instructions from upstairs to play him, or both.

Doctor Zaius Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 He's so, so poor like. Decision making amongst the worst ive seen amongst any forward player for us. He's slow to react, doesn't particularly put himself about, doesnt appear to have much technique and has no particular standout qualities that set him apart from the poorest of PL footballers. He occasionally shows the odd neat touch and bit of vision that you'd expect as a basic from an elite level footballer but thats about it. He's been played as a striker, out wide and in the hole and he's never looked natural in any of those positions. Its not a case of bedding in, its not a case of him being young and needing time either. He's had 60 or so games for us and he's only occasionally looked average, maybe once of twice has he looked decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWN Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Another nothing player , I see nothing in him to suggest a fee of £50 , hes an utter plank . Yet Anderson wont ever start ahead of him, for a long time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
