We definitely need a more reliable starting striker because of his injury issues but that might be the best SJP performance from a forward in our colours without a goal since Viduka against Boro in ‘09. Superb threat through.

That's the kicker... For that reason we should be looking to make him our second choice forward next season. But it will take a hell of a purchase to push him into that slot.

His main injuries under Bruce were hamstrings, which I suspect can be managed with better training than a fat slob giving the lads days off.

 

I think Wilson is brilliant and good enough for top six. Stats nerds will know this but he only averages nine passes a game, easily lowest in the team. Against Arsenal, he only managed six (!!!) in such a commanding performance. So the "holdup play" one is a mirage. He causes defenders all kinds of trouble, but its not by holding up the ball and laying it off. It's more by making great runs, creating space, and shooting himself.

Wow, forgotten what it was like to see a striker that is a natural No9 and just doesn't let the defenders settle.   Superb last night, and he is so good at the smart nasty stuff!   Love the guy!

said it in the chris wood thread a couple of weeks ago but a fully fit Wilson is fucking awsome.

 

he definitely would have been back up to Kane at the euros if he'd stayed fit.

Must be a pain in the ass to play against. Reminds me a bit of playing against Osimhen. So physical. (Personally I haven’t played against Osimhen just to make sure)

I love that he's also a right shithouse.

 

That blocking of Ramsdale's distribution, winding up their centre backs etc but the funniest thing, if you watch the second goal back, is he goes down looking for a pen and acting hurt. When the ball hits the net, he's up like lightning [emoji38] and celebrating.

 

Our shithouse.

Get another striker in of similar quality next season, and we're laughing like. He makes such a difference to our overall game so if we can get someone else in as well, so when Wilson's inevitable injury comes next season, we have someone to step straight in. Who knows, if Wilson isn't playing every single game next season, he might not get injured as often?
