TRon Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 He's a finisher, pure and simple. He needs better service, but he's not getting it from Fraser or Almiron, who I can barely remember hitting a pass forward which reached Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lives off scraps a lot of the time but his decision making today was wank, he had chances to shoot or pass and always took the wrong option. Yeah, he’s looked poor recently. Obviously in games against class teams where he struggles to get enough of the ball. He’s not fast enough to run away from top defenders, he needs to make an instant decision and execute.

Kanji Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I love him to bits. But many games this season he’s getting the ball and running at defenders and he either holds too long and doesn’t play it to a runner or he’s getting the ball caught in his feet and not shooting or passing. frustrating as it was multiple times today - Just be intentional and decisive ffs. One or the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Least of our problems though I agree but his lack of form was big problem today imo. Killed pretty much all of our counter attacks. I liked ASM in his position against Liverpool, so wouldn't mind seeing that again to be totally honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Would love us to get a real target man to play up front with Wilson. I even think in a 4-3-3 he could play as a wide forward. Get Vlahovic in with Wilson alongside him and we’d start to look a real threat in new year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMark Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Wilson is a good centre forward choked of service in a shit side. Still out -scoring the likes of Kane despite this. At a functioning club, he’d score 20 per season. He’d be a decent squad option at a top five or six PL side. He’s not a wide-man at all. Needs to be in the box as much as possible, but our bunch of knackers constantly losing possession in midfield force him to drop too deep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 He was frustrating yesterday and in a few games under Howe, I think he has been. But as others have alluded to, we don't give him any quality service. Was it him that nearly scored from the corner? Feeding off scraps, yet still manages to get the odd half chance a game or nick a goal. He is ok back to goal, but is often really isolated. When he is running at players with the ball, that is when he can be frustrating. As he seems to want an extra touch or two and often ends up getting eased out of it after a heavy touch or getting closed down after he's dwelled on the ball for too long. I don't really think that is his game, mind. Need to see him in behind or getting on the end of crosses. Not really had the games of late where that has been possible, nor have we had the right players on the pitch to actually provide quality service to him. I think against lesser teams. Shelvey looking for him over the top or down the channel will be important. As will the service from out wide. Almiron never looks to get beyond the full back or cross it, for example. Hopefully Fraser, ASM and even Murphy can start to help out in that regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Rondon's overall game is better than Wilson's. Wilson is the better striker in the box - simple as that. Would have loved a front-two of Wilson and Rondon. Would be sensational tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 #AnnounceMbappe Brereton Diaz is an obvious target, I liked Ayoze being mentioned. But it's probably safe to say that;s the season for Wilson and striking reinforcements are an even bigger priority than they were. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Looked bad, he said he thought he'd been kicked which sounds like it could be a grade 3 tear, happened to someone I know who said they thought they had been hit with a cricket ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Was always a risky signing and even riskier not recruiting a deputy/inevitable replacement. By the time this season concludes he'll have spent nearly one full season out of two in the physio room. Useless. Feel for the lad, like. Must be awful being constantly injured.

r0cafella Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 His fitness record has been fine with us. This is just one of those things unfortunately. We have to get a capable striker in January now. If we don’t we are down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
