nufcjb Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Seeing what Mitrovic did today, would probably have been better to sign him instead of this guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 If we go down he could be massive for us next year. Keep him and Wilson and we should have plenty of goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 First half I thought there was the odd glimpse. Worked the channels well a couple of times. Got on the end of scruffy, not even half chances and put himself about. Second half, along with the rest of the team. He looked absolutely clueless and useless. Not like he gets any service and we create absolutely fuck all. But it seemed like we were unsure on how to try and get the ball to him and so did he.

Holloway Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Underwhelming debut,but he`ll improve on that with a few training sessions under his belt I`d like to think. Not that we have much time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was isolated and he's neither technical nor fast enough (slow as fuck) to do anything himself. Piss Poor! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 He did ok, we didn’t give him much to go at and he won most of his headers. He did exactly what was on his tin and we threw away the points with the same old failings. Laschelles needs peddled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 As I thought. Nowhere near Wilson in quality. A young striker would be so much more useful. We've succumbed to PFM logic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggy would be a waste of time, you need someone who'll pick up the knockdowns and plant them in the net. Almiron would just spin round twice and then pass it to the full back. Willock would be the one, but not sure if he even wants to be here right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Think he did what he does fairly well, but he didn’t get any decent service that would allow him to threaten to score. Not sure what the plan was with that. That said, it did unsettle Watford that we had someone to aim for and it did seem to encourage some of our players to play more dangerous passes.

Fantail Breeze Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 That was one of the most underwhelming debuts I can remember in a while. But, he’s had about two days and will inevitably improve, I hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair assessment, he wasn't great, but I don't really see what else he could do, he's a finisher who gets on the end of stuff. There wasn't really much for him to attack today.

Abacus Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 He's been out of form, reportedly carrying a knock, playing in an unfamiliar team with a different system, and then thrown straight in. I think he needs a bit more time before making judgements. I do know we don't have time, but that's on us, not him. If Gayle had been fit, I expect he might have been played instead, with Wood on as a 70 min sub. Long term (well mid term), maybe that will be his best role, coming on to change the style of play if we're behind, with set pieces etc. We'll see.

andycap Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Isn't it the job of the wingers to find him with passes? And get him involved in build up play,which I saw nothing at all from frazer and maxi all game. Totally isolated him I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I thought he was alright. That was the consensus around me too. Won quite a lot of aerial challenges and held up play pretty well. But didn’t really find himself in any threatening positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Seems to be the problem with these wingers they seem to cut inside by default and shoot. Not like a Keith Gillespie type that would whip in constant balls for the striker to attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 We've only kept two clean sheets this season (in normal time), and both were when this lad was up front for the other team... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) That £25m price tag is going to weigh heavy around his neck as he is in no way a £25m striker. If we picked him up cheap then it would probably feel quite an astute signing, but he will end up on a hiding to nothing with that price tag.

Thiago Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 We need to be willing to throw crosses in for this lad to thrive. Given how often we find Maxi shut out, we need to be using those moments to switch it quickly to the right and get Fraser/Trippier whipping it in.
