KaKa Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 The one thing I will say about the striking of the ball is that most of those miss hits were with his left foot, which is his weaker one. In general though, his balance and coordination is not the best and that plays a big part in his poor finishing, and him being pushed off the ball and falling over at times. He does link play really well though and releases the ball to teammates in good time. Would have been even more useful if we had some pace and forward runs down the wings as well for him to thread the ball to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 He had a good game. Missed a couple of chances but was involved in most good things we did. Won the game for us in the end as well, never expected to say that in the PL. You are an idiot. You touch kids. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 He’s been alright for a couple of games TBH, in the context of our incredibly low standards. That said, if he hadn’t got incredibly lucky for the goal it might a different conclusion this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 It’s like he tops the ball with his left foot every time he strikes it, like a novice golf player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 We've had some luck in recent years having strikers who can't strike a football properly Yep, every time he hits a shot at goal, it's almost like he never catches it right and it trickles towards goal.

worthy Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Just stop playing him as a striker - for some reason he cannot strike the ball regardless of what he tries. Fluffed a shot yet somehow it went in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 We've had some luck in recent years having strikers who can't strike a football properly Some of Luuk De Jong's shots for us are still trickling towards the net as we speak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 The amount of stick Joselu got on here Was fully deserved. He was fucking shit. Yes, therefore funny reading that he was way better, head and shoulders above Big Joe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 What he is,is very average. Bruce trying him in different positions and i's not that he's better in those positions he's just not as bad. He hasn't got one attribute that's in the £40 million bracket. Looks okay until he steps onto the pitch then it goes downhill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Outside of Fernandez he was our best player last night. The header he missed was poor but he’s such an odd scapegoat for a lack of any game plan when things go wrong. He essentially won us the game last night by forcing the issue and people are still desperate to say how shit he is. It’s weird. Some on here are more bothered about their opinions being right than what actually happens on the pitch. We know he's poor in front of goal, but actual football wise he was doing far more than some of the anonymous midfielders behind him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 To be fair he’s had two decent games in succession, but decent only by his standards, otherwise he’s still shit by any other measure of standard, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Last night he was much better, he made a few good runs into the box and was unlucky with that through ball from Wilson that got deflected away by the defender, he was well positioned to score there. It was the most attempts on goal in one game that he’s had for us. In general him and Wilson linked up quite well. If he gets service in the areas where both goals came from I think he could salvage this season which frankly has been dire up to now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
